ASUS WiFi Routers and Networking Solutions Deliver Long-term Security and Reliability with No Additional Cost

When it comes to picking up a wireless router or setting up a home or small office network, there's a lot more to the story than just making sure it ticks the shiny new WiFi 7 box. And there's a lot more to the decision-making process than taking an in-depth look at specs detailing support for high-speed 2.5G LAN ports, extended coverage with or without a mesh setup, and overall performance when managing multiple connected devices. All things that ASUS's diverse lineup of networking solutions delivers.

These are all important features, especially in today's modern connected world, where smartphones, PCs, laptops, gaming consoles, and even household appliances are always online and interconnected. However, getting everything set up and doing that first speed test is just the beginning, as having access to advanced networking security features, parental controls, VPN services, and the general peace of mind that comes from all of the above is more important than ever.

And this is something that network-focused brands and companies are aware of. NETGEAR Armor is an annual subscription service priced at $99.99, available across NETGEAR's networking solutions and devices, delivering advanced security features and VPN services. TP-Link's HomeShield is a monthly subscription service priced at $4.99 that also includes IoT protection for connected appliances, in-depth monitoring and reporting, parental controls, and more. Linksys Shield is similar, while Amazon Eero Plus charges $9.99 per month for a comprehensive suite of tools, services, and features that are increasingly essential or highly recommended for all networks.

When it comes to ASUS's expansive lineup of routers and networking solutions for day-to-day users, homes, small offices, and gamers, the company drops the paywall, offering these additional features and services for $0.00. From commercial-grade security to built-in VPN services to an unprecedented 3-year extended warranty, the difference is clear. While also being backed up by exceptional performance and versatility.

ASUS Routers Deliver Cybersecurity Solutions and Commercial-Grade Protection with No Subscription Fee

Although some companies can justify subscription fees and additional charges for networking security due to the evolving nature of malware, cyber attacks, and other vulnerabilities, ASUS firmly believes that shielding your smart home and office, and connected devices from online threats, is a key feature and component of its diverse lineup of routers and networking solutions that should be available to all, for the lifetime of the device.

From the powerful WiFi 7-enhanced ROG Strix GS-BE7200X router with AiMesh support to the tri-band WiFi 7-optimized ASUS RT-BE90U built for modern smart homes, commercial-grade protection and peace of mind come as standard. What does commercial-grade protection mean? Well, ASUS has partnered with the cybersecurity experts at Trend Micro to ensure that ASUS routers automatically sync with the latest security databases for up-to-the-minute protection. This is part of ASUS's comprehensive built-in AiProtection, integrated into its routers and mesh Wi-Fi systems, which instantly blocks malicious sites based on the latest Trend Micro information. It also includes robust firewall protection and an in-depth intrusion prevention system (IPS) on AiProtection Pro devices designed to protect against cyberattacks, including ransomware and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.

ASU's AiProtection also protects your network and connected devices from within, so if an infected device connects to your home network and tries to access a malicious server, the connection is immediately severed to protect your personal data from being compromised. And best of all, these features and services are accessible through the robust ASUS Router app for mobile devices, offering instant access to manage and monitor them. It also delivers fantastic tools, including a one-click network security scan that lets you know if there are any security flaws or vulnerabilities, with the option to fix them right away. And there's even Guest Network capabilities, so whenever anyone comes over, they can connect to a secure network that's isolated from your main network and devices.

Comprehensive VPN Features and Powerful Instant Guard Technology for Public Networks

A Virtual Private Network, or VPN, has quickly become an essential feature for browsing, online shopping, and other activities. By creating an encrypted tunnel between a connected device and the internet, your IP or digital signature is hidden, making it harder for third parties, including marketing-based entities, to track your online activities. With a wide range of VPN services available, both free and subscription-based, ASUS routers deliver hassle-free VPN access and a built-in VPN server that lets you access your home network remotely and securely.

And for those with network expertise, ASUS's VPN service is as comprehensive as its commercial-grade security, with VPN protocols such as PPTP, L2TP/IPSec, OpenVPN, and the latest WireGuard all supported. VPN services have also become increasingly popular as tools for accessing streaming media and games from any location, breaking down the barrier to entry. And as ASUS knows that a home network includes a variety of devices connecting online for various use cases, whether that's gaming or remote work, VPN Fusion ensures you can run both an encrypted VPN and regular internet connections simultaneously.

And even when you're away from home, ASUS can still protect your devices with Instant Guard. This removes the risk of connecting to public WiFi services when out and about or traveling by using VPN technology to create a secure data tunnel between your device, a public hotspot, and your ASUS router. And this includes access to the full AiProtection suite of commercial-grade security features, as you're essentially running your own private, secure VPN server on your hardware.

Triple-Level Protection, Extended Warranty, and Advanced Parental Controls as Standard

Put these things together, and ASUS routers and network devices offer unmatched triple-level protection without any hidden fees or additional costs. It's a multi-layered, robust approach that protects your devices and the router itself while keeping you safe every time you access the internet. And going one step further, ASUS's AiProtection and dedicated Router app also includes in-depth parental controls for online monitoring, managing daily screen time, and applying automatic filters for age-appropriate content. With its simple, clean dashboard interface that doesn't require advanced technical knowledge, parents can protect their children with just a few clicks and use it as an invaluable tool to monitor and manage their children's online behavior.

All of these features are available and free across ASUS's diverse lineup of ROG Gaming Routers, ProArt Routers, ZenWiFi Mesh Systems, and more. And if that's not enough, ASUS is the only networking company that offers a 3 Year Warranty across all WiFi devices, whether it's WiFi 6 or 7, for added peace of mind. From the cutting-edge ROG Rapture GT-BE98 and the ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro Gaming Routers with full-band WiFi 7 and dual 10G LAN ports and custom Game Acceleration technology, to the sleek and minimal ASUS ZenWiFi BT8 AiMesh router with impressive WiFi 7 speeds of up to 14 Gbps, no matter the choice, ASUS's commitment to delivering robust protection and valuable services as standard doesn't change.
