ASUS USB-AX56 AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 USB Adapter

The ASUS USB-AX56 transforms your existing laptop or desktop into a WiFi 6 capable device through a simple USB 3.0 connection. This dual-band wireless adapter delivers combined speeds up to 1800 Mbps, with 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and 1201 Mbps on the 5 GHz band, making it 1.5X faster than WiFi 5 adapters.

WiFi 6 Technology for Modern Networks

Built on the 802.11ax standard, this adapter brings advanced WiFi 6 features to your computer. OFDMA technology divides frequency channels into smaller sub-channels for more efficient data transmission in environments with multiple connected devices. MU-MIMO support allows simultaneous communication with your router, reducing wait times and improving overall network capacity by up to 4X compared to previous standards.

Extended Range and Connectivity

The USB-AX56 includes dual external antennas and a positioning cradle for optimal signal reception. Beamforming technology enables your WiFi 6 router to direct stronger signals toward the adapter's location, extending effective range by up to 80% in uplink scenarios. The included cradle lets you position the adapter for maximum signal strength without being restricted by USB port location.

Enhanced Security and Efficiency

WPA3 security protocol provides robust authentication and improved protection for your wireless connections. Target Wake Time (TWT) technology reduces power consumption by up to 7X compared to WiFi 5, allowing the adapter to sleep when not actively transmitting data. This makes the USB-AX56 particularly efficient for laptops running on battery power.

Universal Compatibility

The plug-and-play design works with Windows 10/8.1/8/7 and Linux operating systems. USB 3.0 connectivity ensures the adapter can handle the full bandwidth of WiFi 6 speeds without bottlenecks. The adapter supports backward compatibility with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards, ensuring connection to any wireless network.
