Wi-Fi 7 Performance for Studios

Advanced VPN and Security

The router supports multiple VPN clients and servers, including WireGuard and OpenVPN. Instant Guard provides secure mobile access. Triple-level network protection includes a commercial-grade cloud database. One-tap security scans identify vulnerabilities. DNS over TLS encrypts DNS traffic for enhanced privacy.

Smart Home Master and Mesh

ASUS Guest Network Pro creates dedicated SSIDs for IoT, VPN, and kids. This isolates devices for better security. AiMesh technology allows scaling with compatible routers for wider coverage. The router combines Wi-Fi 7 with next-gen mesh for stable, unified connectivity.

ProArt Ecosystem Integration

The PRT-BE5000 integrates with the ProArt family of laptops, displays, and motherboards. Pairing with a ProArt Switch expands wired ports for a scalable studio network. This creates a unified foundation for ProArt workstations and AI NUCs.
