Know before you buy
This feature prioritizes gaming traffic at three distinct stages: your device, the router, and the connection to the game server. By minimizing latency and packet loss, it helps ensure a smoother, more responsive connection during intense online matches.
Yes, the GT-AC2900 supports ASUS AiMesh technology. This allows you to connect other compatible ASUS routers to create a unified, seamless mesh network that covers your entire home.
No, AiProtection Pro is included for free for the lifetime of the product. It is powered by Trend Micro to help block malicious websites and protect your connected devices from common internet threats.
Yes, it features MU-MIMO technology, which allows the router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously rather than sequentially. This helps maintain stable speeds even when several people in your home are using the network at once.
Yes, the Aura RGB lighting effects are customizable. You can adjust the patterns, colors, or turn the lighting off entirely through the router's settings interface.
The GT-AC2900 uses the 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) standard. While it will work perfectly with Wi-Fi 6 devices, those devices will operate at Wi-Fi 5 speeds rather than their maximum potential capacity.
