ASUS dressed two WiFi 6 routers as Demon Slayer heroes, and you choose which one comes home. The ASUS RT-AX82U takes on Inosuke Hashibira, with a white and gray body, four dark antennas, two white tusk-like pieces at the front, RGB glow from the front gap and kanji on the side panel. The ASUS RT-AX86U is Zenitsu Agatsuma, with yellow front panels in his triangle pattern, a black vented top and yellow lightning details on its black antennas. Few pieces of Demon Slayer merch also run your home network.
The RT-AX82U is an AX5400 router with up to 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 4804 Mbps on 5 GHz. It runs a 1.5 GHz tri-core processor with 512 MB of RAM, four gigabit LAN ports, a gigabit WAN port and one USB 3.2 port.
The RT-AX86U steps up to AX5700, with up to 861 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 4804 Mbps on 5 GHz. A 1.8 GHz quad-core processor and 1 GB of RAM drive it, and it adds a 2.5G/1G multi-gig port and a second USB 3.2 port, so it is the one to pick if you have faster wired internet or a NAS. Both models support 160 MHz channels, AiMesh and AiProtection Pro security.
