Description

Super-fast mobile broadband, super-fast Wi-Fi!

ASUS 4G-AC68U features the latest LTE Category 6 mobile broadband, which combines two cellular bands to give you internet download speeds of up to 300Mbps - 2X faster than LTE Category 4, and 7X faster than 3G (HSPA+) - so you can share even the biggest files and stream 4K UHD video with ease. And with the super-fast 1900Mbps 802.11ac Wi-Fi, you can enjoy wireless speeds that are up to 3X faster than 802.11n!

Unbeatable Wi-Fi Coverage

ASUS AiRadar intelligently strengthens wireless connectivity using beamforming technology, high power amplification, and exclusive ASUS RF fine-tuning. This ensures extended coverage, dynamic data speed increases, and enhanced stability.

Improved Protection Against Attacks

Built into ASUS 4G-AC68U, the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) in AiProtection provides multi-point protection for every connected device on your network and blocks all common internet-based attacks. Automated regular and time-sensitive AiProtection updates ensure that you always have the most up-to-date protection.

Detachable and upgradeable 4G LTE antennas

External mobile broadband antennas perform better than internal antennas. Indoors, the best 4G LTE reception is usually found near a window, but if this isn't practical you can easily add an antenna extension cable thanks to the detachable antennas with their standard SMA jack connectors.

4G LTE and Gigabit Ethernet dual-WAN for interruption-free connections

In addition to its 4G LTE capability, 4G-AC68U has a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet WAN port that can be used as a backup wired internet connection that is activated when the 4G LTE connection fails (failover), and automatically switches back when service is restored (failback). This gives superb flexibility for business or home use - you need never be without an internet connection.

Easy 3-step Plug-n-Surf

It only takes three steps to get connected with 4G-AC68U:
1. Insert your 4G LTE micro-SIM card (not supplied) and turn on the 4G-AC68U. It will connect automatically to the appropriate mobile network.
2. Open a browser and follow the easy installation wizard to complete the setup.
3. You're connected!

Robust control and optimization with ASUSWRT

With the ASUSWRT dashboard UI, setup, monitor, and control network applications all in one intuitive area. On top of 30-second setup, multi-device detection, and flexible settings that make the most of your network performance, it's been upgraded with quick scanning of USB storage connected to routers to verify data integrity and drive health. Dual WAN enables having two connections/ISPs on one router, with load balance and failover mode for added stability and redundancy to ensure uninterrupted internet access.
Do you game a lot, or spend most of your time streaming videos? Whatever your planned use is, the 4G-AC68U has Adaptive Quality of Service (QoS) that optimizes inbound and outbound bandwidth on both wired and wireless connections. Applications and tasks can be prioritized easily using drag-and-drop presets for gaming, media streaming, VoIP, web browsing and file transfers. It supports major consoles including PlayStation®3, PlayStation®4, PS4™ Pro, PlayStation®Vita, Wii U, 3DS and Xbox One.

VPN Server and Client for Encrypted Remote Connection

With the virtual private network (VPN) server and VPN client, you can access your home network remotely or surf the internet with encryption, no need for paid VPN services or a dedicated VPN server.
