Future-proofed versatility with 802.11ac wireless speeds
The ASUS DSL-AC56U is a ADSL/VDSL 802.11ac 2x2 Wi-Fi modem
router, with combined dual-band data rates of up to 1167Mbps. On the 5GHz
band, 802.11ac gives 867Mbps wireless data rates, while 2.4 GHz 802.11n
performance supports 300Mbps. Compatible with ADSL2/2+, ADSL, VDSL2, fiber
and cable services, the top specification completes future-proofing.
ASUS AiRadar enhances the Wi-Fi stability and improves coverage up to 150%*.
Most importantly, the universal beamforming not only works on 802.11ac
clients, but also 802.11a/b/g/n clients. Equipped with powerful hardware NAT
acceleration and built-in Gigabit Ethernet, the DSL-AC56U gives you full
Gigabit internet performance, with a WAN-to-LAN throughput performance of
over 900 Mbps.
Two USB 2.0 ports allow the DSL-AC56U to share printers and scanners over a
network, and it can also operate as high-speed NAS (Network Attached
Storage) device when external storage is connected.
The easy-to-use ASUSWRT graphical user interface unlocks the power of the
DSL-AC56U giving robust control to optimize your network for you. 30-second
set-up and easy traffic management means even network newbies can enjoy its
sophisticated features, while power users will love its Download Master,
IPv6 support, multiple wireless SSIDs and secure VPN access.
Enhanced signal range and stability
ASUS AiRadar intelligently improves wireless connections by using exclusive ASUS RF fine-tuning. This ensures extended coverage, dynamic data speed increases, and enhanced stability.

Total flexibility with DSL, Ethernet or 3G/4G LTE Internet connections
DSL-AC56U has multiple ways to connect to the Internet, with a choice of DSL, Ethernet or 3G/4G LTE*. You can use DSL-AC56U as a DSL modem Wi-Fi router or a standalone Wi-Fi router according to your needs. And with the ability to switch instantly between connections if one fails (and switch back again when it’s fixed) or combine multiple connections for more bandwidth, it’s perfect for reliable, always-on internet connectivity. *Requires compatible USB dongle

Gigabit Internet browsing with hardware NAT
Equipped with a powerful hardware NAT acceleration engine and built-in Gigabit Ethernet, the DSL-AC56U gives you full Gigabit performance. Its WAN-to-LAN throughput performance is over 900 Mbps, which is more than 4.5 times that of traditional software-based NAT Gigabit routers. This reduces the possibility of bottlenecks on fast internet connections.


Add external storage, printers, and other devices to your network
Make DSL-AC56U your media and device center. With
built-in two USB ports, connect external storage drives, printers,
scanners and many other USB-enabled devices to share with your networked
PCs. Having your devices networked, lets you access them easier than
