RT-AX82U GUNDAM AX5400 Gaming Router
The ASUS RT-AX82U GUNDAM is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router delivering combined wireless rates up to 5400 Mbps. It features a dedicated gaming LAN port, mobile game acceleration via the ASUS Router app, and Aura RGB lighting effects. Lifetime free AiProtection Pro security powered by Trend Micro is included.
Suits competitive gamers and RGB enthusiasts
This router targets players who want a wired gaming port, mobile optimisation and customisable lighting on a Wi-Fi 6 platform. Buyers needing multi-gigabit WAN or LAN speeds beyond one gigabit per second should consider other models. Households requiring more than four wired ports or a built-in modem will also need a different solution.
AX5400 dual-band Wi-Fi 6 with 160 MHz channels
The decisive specification is the AX5400 class dual-band Wi-Fi 6 radio supporting 160 MHz channel width for high throughput. It operates on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with four external antennas and MU-MIMO capability. This determines whether the router matches your bandwidth and device density requirements.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the ASUS RT-AX82U GUNDAM router to my modem and which port should I use?
Plug the modem cable into the single 10/100/1000M WAN port; the four LAN ports are for wired clients only.
Will the external antennas or the USB 3.2 Gen 1 port need replacement over time?
The four external antennas are fixed and not user-serviceable; the USB 3.2 Gen 1 port is solid-state with no moving parts to wear out.
What thermal or throughput limit appears first when the AX5400 router runs at full load for hours?
Sustained 5400 Mbps throughput across 160 MHz channels will hit the 1 Gbps WAN and LAN port ceiling before any thermal throttle engages.
