Flexible, Powerful, and Ready to Expand

If you’re looking for a router that goes beyond the basics and adapts to your space, whether it’s a compact city apartment, a larger home, or even on-the-go, then the ASUS RT-AX57 Go is built for you. With features like mesh-networking flexibility, access point capabilities, and USB-C power convenience, it ticks all the boxes for modern home networking.

Why It Stands Out:

1. Mesh-Ready and Extendable with ASUS AiMesh
Thanks to built-in support for ASUS AiMesh, the RT-AX57 Go isn’t just a standalone router, it’s the foundation of a flexible, room-to-room WiFi system. ASUS describes it as “easy to combine multiple AiMesh-compatible routers to extend your WiFi coverage and meet your network needs.”

What this means for you:
•    You can start with one RT-AX57 Go and cover a portion of your home.
•    Then, if you need more coverage, you simply add another AiMesh-compatible ASUS router or node and integrate it seamlessly.
•    The advantage: a unified network (same SSID) with less “dead-zone” trouble and smoother roaming for mobile devices.

The official setup guide emphasises how you can add a node via the web interface or ASUS Router app.

2. Access Point & Multiple Modes
Beyond acting as your main router, the RT-AX57 Go supports several operating modes including Access Point (AP) mode, meaning you can plug it into an existing network and extend it rather than replace it.

So if you already have a modem or router set up, you can use this as an AP or node and upgrade the wireless side without ripping everything out.

3. Modern Power Flexibility (USB-C)
Powering your router often means dealing with bulky adapters and wall plugs. The RT-AX57 Go simplifies this with a USB-C power port, cleaner, more universal, and ideal if you already use USB-C chargers for other devices.

That means easier placement (even powered via a USB hub or laptop charger in some cases) and less clutter.

Technical Highlights at a Glance
•    WiFi 6 (802.11ax) dual-band: up to ~574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz + ~2402 Mbps on 5 GHz. 
•    Compact form (120 × 120 × 21.5 mm, ~210g) for easy placement.
•    1 GbE WAN port + 1 GbE LAN port.
•    Multi-mode capability: Router mode, AiMesh Node mode, Range Extender, Access Point, Media Bridge and WISP modes.
•    Advanced firmware features: VPN support, Guest Portal, and comprehensive security via AiProtection.

Where It Works Best
•    Small to medium homes/apartments: the ASUS RT-AX57 Go offers strong, reliable coverage. If you need more coverage, simply add another AiMesh-compatible router to extend your network seamlessly.
•    Home offices or game rooms: Set it as an Access Point to handle high-performance needs in a dedicated space.
•    Travellers or portable setups: With USB-C power and multiple modes, it's perfect for plug-in at a hotel, airport, cafe or remote location and still add to your mesh network back home later.
•    Flexible layouts: Because of its small footprint and easy mounting/placement options, you’re freed from awkward router placement.
