Mercusys MR80X AX3000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router
The Mercusys MR80X is a Wi-Fi 6 router designed for homes where multiple devices stream, game and download simultaneously. It combines dual-band coverage with 160 MHz channel width to deliver up to 3 Gbps of throughput, reducing congestion and interference through OFDMA, MU-MIMO and BSS Coloring.
Why this product
Wi-Fi 6 speeds up to 3 Gbps
AX3000 throughput splits 2402 Mbps on 5 GHz and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, enabling 4K streaming and large downloads without lag across multiple devices.
Four high-gain antennas with beamforming
5 dBi fixed omni-directional antennas with integrated signal amplifiers and beamforming focus coverage toward connected devices for stronger, more stable connections throughout the home.
Handles 256 connected devices
OFDMA and MU-MIMO allow multiple clients to transmit at once, delivering 4× greater network capacity and efficiency in busy environments.
WPA3 security and parental controls
Latest WPA3 standard protects against brute-force attacks. Built-in parental controls let you manage screen time and content for each family member.
Gigabit ports for wired performance
One Gigabit WAN port and three Gigabit LAN ports support fast data transfers and peak performance for bandwidth-intensive tasks.
Power-saving features for mobile devices
Target Wake Time (TWT) reduces battery drain on phones and IoT devices during data transmissions, while BSS Coloring minimizes interference from neighbouring networks.

Doubling the bandwidth with 160 MHz channels,¹ MR80X unlocks the limits of the previous channel width and provides next-level speeds for your devices. With WiFi 6 speeds up to 3 Gbps,² finish large-file downloads in minutes and experience stunning 4K streaming without lag.
Streaming or gaming on multiple devices brings more fun without dragging down performance. MR80X supports OFDMA and MU-MIMO¹ to power up your WiFi by allowing multiple clients to transmit at the same time. This delivers 4× greater network capacity and efficiency in traffic-dense environments.
Interference from nearby wireless networks may cause issues with your signal, especially when you live in an apartment or close to your neighbors. MR80X supports BSS Coloring to mark the data frames from different APs. This helps minimize the signal interference from your neighbors to improve transmission efficiency.
Target Wake Time reduces power consumption for your mobile and IoT devices during data transmissions to extend your devices' battery life.¹
Four external high-gain antennas armed with integrated signal amplifiers provide strong WiFi signals that reach farther. Beamforming detects your connected devices and concentrates wireless signal strength towards them, making your connections more stable.
The latest security standard, WPA3, offers improved comprehensive WiFi protection to defend your devices and private information against brute-force attacks.⁴
Smart Connect allows each of MR80X's wireless bands to use the same wireless settings. MR80X balances network demand and assigns your devices to the band with the best signal and speed. This keeps your devices always running optimally when you walk around your home.
Powered by a highly integrated Qualcomm WiFi 6 chipset that combines a 64-bit dual-core CPU and an advanced 12-thread programmable network processor, MR80X enables stable connections for up to 256 devices.⁵ Your network can now handle massive data throughput, allowing numerous bandwidth-intensive tasks to run smoothly at the same time.
The MERCUSYS app provides the easiest way for you to set up in minutes and manage your WiFi at home or away through your iOS or Android devices.
Easily manage your kids' online time and content to create a healthy online environment for all. Create a profile for each family member you would like to manage.
Allows guests to join your WiFi network—all while protecting your privacy—making sharing easy and secure.
