ASUS 4G-AC53U features the latest LTE Category 6 mobile broadband, which combines two cellular bands to give you internet download speeds of up to 300Mbps — 2X faster than LTE Category 4, and 7X faster than 3G (HSPA+) — so you can share even the biggest files and stream 4K UHD video with ease. And with the super-fast 733Mbps 802.11ac Wi-Fi, you can enjoy wireless speeds that are up to 2X faster than 802.11n!

Wi-Fi Pause turns off the internet for a while — perfect for when you need some quality family time!

External mobile broadband antennas perform better than internal antennas. Indoors, the best 4G LTE reception is usually found near a window, but if this isn't practical you can easily add an antenna extension cable thanks to the detachable antennas with their standard SMA jack connectors.

In addition to its 4G LTE capability, one of the Gigabit Ethernet LAN port can be used as a backup wired internet connection WAN port, that is activated when the 4G LTE connection fails (failover), and automatically switches back when service is restored (failback). This gives superb flexibility for business or home use — you need never be without an internet connection.

It only takes three steps to get connected with 4G-AC53U:
1. Insert your 4G LTE SIM or mini-SIM card (not supplied) and turn on the 4G-AC53U. It will connect automatically to the appropriate mobile network.
2. Open a browser and follow the easy installation wizard to complete the setup. 
3. You're connected!
