ASUS RT-N65U: Dual CPUs and Turbo NAT Max Wi-Fi and Wired Speeds

Maximized concurrent 2.4GHz/5GHz wireless and wired speeds join the world’s first twin USB 3.0 ports on an N750 router with file, printer, and 3G sharing

Singapore (August 15, 2012) ― the ASUS RT-N65U USB 3.0 dual-band wireless-N750 Gigabit router offers consumers an attractive and powerful device that caters to HD home entertainment and content streaming, multiplayer gaming, plus heavy downloading. It utilizes dual processors and Turbo NAT to optimize concurrent 2.4GHz/5GHz wireless and wired throughput, resulting in the fastest-performing N750 router available. It ships with twin USB 3.0 ports to enable easy device connectivity and flexible usage as a server, and the entire package is made readily accessible to users via the exclusive ASUSWRT dashboard interface. The artistic black diamond design seen on ASUS routers such as the RT-N56U has been applied on the RT-N65U.

Dual CPUs accelerate simultaneous dual-band wireless

The RT-N65U improves network performance for smoother and more satisfying online experiences. Using powerful yet efficient dual-processor System on a Chip (SoC) architecture, it dedicates a CPU to each operating band, set to 2.4GHz and 5GHz. This allows both frequencies to reach maximum throughput, unlike single-CPU designs where compute power has to be shared. The two bands offer up to 750Mbps combined, and users can take advantage of the less crowded and cleaner 5GHz band for tasks such as HD streaming and online gaming, while the 2.4GHz band easily handles more routine applications, including web browsing, social networking, and emailing.

Turbo NAT: hardware network address translation

Wired connections reach maximum speeds in concurrent operation with Wi-Fi to guarantee the smoothest online experiences. Dedicated Turbo NAT IP address resolution and packet control exceed software NAT capabilities, resulting in sustainable 900Mbps speeds. Working together, wired connections and wireless channels experience no performance drop, making the RT-N65U the fastest N750 router available and an extra-stable platform for continuous downloading and online multitasking.

Exclusive AiRadar signal shaping technology

To make the most of the enhanced speed of the RT-N65U, ASUS includes its proprietary AiRadar design, ensuring the strongest and most focused transmission possible. While improving connection stability, AiRadar also expands wireless coverage, which means the RT-N65U can easily support large home and office networks, as well as multi-floor locations.

Better sharing and productivity with twin SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports

ASUS includes two USB 3.0 ports on the RT-N65U, instantly turning the router into a multi-function server. Users can apply it as an FTP, Samba, UPnP AV, and printer server, making better use of resources by sharing across different devices. The router can download content directly to USB storage with no PC required, helping users get more done with improved multitasking and time savings. The RT-N65U works with DLNA-compatible devices, and can be used as a foundation for a fast home entertainment setup. It also works as a 3G sharing enabler, allowing several devices to get online through a single cellular account while offering failover protection in the event of WAN connection failure.

Power functions and easy management

As with other recent ASUS routers, the exclusive ASUSWRT dashboard interface offers streamlined setup in just 30 seconds*, allowing users to get online quickly. It also provides extensive network monitoring and control, all with an intuitive graphical design that can be learned in minutes. Client management and one-click updates are included alongside several ASUS applications such as VPN Server, Download Master (24-hour downloading even post-shutdown), parental controls, and guest network supervision.
