Description

A small router with nothing sticking out

All five antennas sit inside the casing, so the mini router slips into a bag without snagging on anything. MU-MIMO lets the router send data to several devices at once rather than one after another, and Wi-Fi 6 shares the channel more efficiently than earlier standards, which you notice when a phone, a laptop and a TV are online together. The Gigabit Ethernet port links the router to a wired network.

Who this router is for

Travellers who want their own secure network in a hotel or rented flat; small apartments and cottages that do not need a large router; and anyone planning to extend the network later, since the RT-AX57 Go supports mesh.
