Built to Perform. Styled to Be Seen.
ASUS Blue Cave dual band Wi-Fi router brings super-smooth streaming and lag-free gaming to your entire home. Innovative design and engineering inside contributes to its compact, elegant, unique casing while ensuring superb Wi-Fi signal in all directions. Built-in advanced ASUS AiProtection and Family Overview parent controls make sure everyone has a secure online experience. And with the support for ASUS AiMesh, you can add additional ASUS routers to create a powerful multi-stories whole-home Wi-Fi system for seamless roaming.
Innovative Internal Antenna Layout
Blue Cave's unique styling and powerful performance are both made possible by our sophisticated Wi-Fi engineering. Internal antennas are often a compromise: they allow a neater external design, but they can be prone to performance-sapping interference. On Blue Cave the four fully-optimized antennas actually outperform some external antennas by up to 28%. The location and orientation of the antennas relative to each other and to the internal circuitry was carefully decided by experiment to give the best possible Wi-Fi signal in all directions: the widest coverage was attained with three vertical antennas and one horizontal antenna that helps transmit the Wi-Fi signal across floors. The ultra-slim circuit board and custom graphene-coated heatsinks were specially designed to make best use of the internal space.
Keeping cool with nanotechnology
The dual ASUS-designed heatsinks on the main circuit board maximize the surface area available for cooling, while taking full advantage of the shape of the interior space. These advanced heatsinks use a graphene coating with amazing heat-dissipation properties that far outperforms standard heatsink materials.
Compact by design
To enable Blue Cave's compact and unobtrusive styling, the specially designed circuit board is half the size of a normal 4x4 router board, and it's separated into two overlapping sections. Special electronic engineering techniques were employed to avoid the signal-leakage problems often associated with such an arrangement.
In most cases, your Blue Cave can deliver smooth, reliable Wi-Fi to every part of your home. But Wi-Fi coverage can be affected by many factors—room layout, construction materials, and even furnishings. ASUS AiMesh is an innovative new router feature that fixes these problems: it creates a whole-home Wi-Fi network using multiple ASUS routers. AiMesh is powerful, flexible and you can use a mix of ASUS router models—protecting your investment! AiMesh gives you time-saving central control, and seamless roaming capability.
- Turn your Blue Cave into whole-home Wi-Fi system with a simple firmware update
- Mix and match preferred models from selected ASUS routers
- Create a network with either a single Wi-Fi name or multiple Wi-Fi names
- All router features works across the entire Wi-Fi system
