The ASUS DSL-AC88U combines an ultra-fast DSL modem and Wi-Fi router

Why use a separate modem and router when you can combine the two? The ASUS DSL-AC88U brings together an ultra-fast DSL modem and high-end Wi-Fi router to deliver high-performance networking in a single, easily managed device.

The integrated DSL modem pushes broadband speeds up to a blistering 900Mbps using the latest G.fast standard. There’s loads of bandwidth for smooth streaming, fast downloading, and lag-free gaming. More conventional ADSL, ADSL2/2+, and VDSL2 standards are also supported, and there’s a separate Ethernet-based WAN port for connecting stand-alone fiber, cable, or DSL modems. You get future-proof connectivity with the flexibility to easily switch ISPs.

For local networks, the dual-band AC3100 Wi-Fi router delivers extensive coverage and even higher speeds. It uses Broadcom’s NitroQAM (1024-QAM) technology to boost wireless throughput on both bands by up to 25% compared to traditional 4x4 MIMO routers. You can hit speeds as high as 2167Mbps on the 5GHz band and 1000Mbps on the 2.4GHz band.

With 3167Gbps combined, there’s enough wireless bandwidth for modern households packed with devices. On top of that, four Gigabit Ethernet ports add ultra-low-latency connections for hardcore multiplayer gaming rigs and other wired machines. Quality-of-service routines manage the traffic to prevent downloads and browsing from lagging multiplayer games and interrupting video streams.

Much more than just a modem and router, the DSL-AC88U can share printers and storage across your home network. Shared peripherals connect via two USB ports: one USB 3.0 at the front and one USB 2.0 at the rear. You can also hook up a compatible 3G/4G USB dongle to add cellular connectivity as a backup.

Managing all the integrated functions is easy with the web-based GUI. There are quick setup options for newbies and loads of advanced settings for experts who want complete control over their networks. Parents can restrict access to specific sites and applications to in addition to scheduling how much time specific devices can access the Internet.
