Fast, reliable and stable connections are guaranteed by ASUS AiRadar technology, an intelligent combination of high-power amplification, RF tuning and universal beamforming that improves coverage by up to 150% compared to standard 11n models , and also ensures backwards compatibility with older Wi-Fi standards. AiRadar makes RT-N18U the ideal solution for multi-room usage.
The Asus RT-N18U can also be configured to operate in three other useful modes. Range extender mode improves the wireless coverage of an existing wireless router, access point (AP) mode is used to add wireless access to an existing wired network, and media bridge mode is handy for adding wireless capability to wired network devices, such as games consoles or TVs.
The Asus RT-N18U is also easy to setup. A three-step process setup will take only 30 seconds. Simply connect it to the network and open a web browser to start the Quick Internet Setup wizard. The intuitive graphical interface of the ASUSWRT dashboard makes it simple to configure the advanced networking features, such as quality of service (QoS) prioritization.
(QoS allows users to optimize, control and monitor the internet bandwidth usage for any application. Other advanced features include network mapping and a traffic monitor for checking internet data usage.)
The router also has ASUS AiCloud feature, which transforms USB-attached storage into a personal cloud server, for easy remote file access and media streaming from a laptop, smartphone and tablet. AiCloud can also automatically synchronize USB-connected storage with other compatible ASUS routers, for easy sharing of large files with family and friends.
