Description
Fast, reliable and powerful
At the heart of RT-N18U is a powerful but energy-efficient ARM® Cortex™-A9 processor running at 800MHz that ensures fast and responsive performance. The 128MB of Flash memory and 256MB of DDR3 RAM further enhance multitasking performance and allow up to 300,000 concurrent data sessions — making RT-N18U ideal for multimedia applications such as HD video streaming, online gaming and file sharing.
Boost your Wi-Fi performance
RT-N18U features TurboQAM™ technology that boosts 2.4 GHz wireless speeds from 450 Mbps to up to 600 Mbps for 33% faster Wi-Fi performance. Now everything you do online is done faster.
Gigabit Internet surfing with Turbo NAT
Equipped with Turbo NAT and built-in Gigabit Ethernet, RT-N18U gives you full Gigabit internet performance, making its WAN to LAN throughput up to 2-5 times that of traditional software-based NAT Gigabit routers. Turbo NAT handles simultaneous wired connections, achieving maximized total concurrent speeds. So go ahead: game, stream and download from desktops, notebooks, tablets, smartphones and game consoles at once minus the performance loss.
Extend and strengthen your wireless connection
ASUS AiRadar intelligently strengthens wireless connectivity using universal beamforming technology, high power amplification, and exclusive ASUS RF fine-tuning. This ensures extended coverage, increases dynamic data speed, enhances stability, and is backward compatible with 802.11b/g/n clients. Because connection strength varies based on your environment, RT-N18U uses three external antennas to detect wireless device locations and shape transmissions so they’re optimized for fast and stable connection strength.

Enhance your home network capabilities
Make RT-N18U 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 ever before. The conveniently located front USB 3.0 port provides 10x faster data transfer speeds than USB 2.0, making it perfect for high-speed file sharing or audio and HD video streaming.

Powerful online multitasking with 300,000 data sessions
Massive online multitasking at up 300,000 concurrent data sessions gives you 20 times the capacity of mainstream routers for great performance with no slowdown even during heavy traffic sessions. Download multiple files at once, experience smooth HD streaming and play lag-free online gaming all at once. Do more without compromising your online lifestyle.
