Tri-band WiFi 6 for Demanding UK Offices

The EBM68 offers a 2.4 GHz band and two 5 GHz bands, with maximum theoretical rates up to 4804 Mbit/s. This tri-band structure reduces congestion when multiple devices connect simultaneously. Because it uses WiFi 6 (802.11ax), you get 4X greater network capacity compared to older standards. In practice, this means lower latency for video conferencing and faster downloads for business applications. The internal antenna array uses beamforming to direct signals where needed.

Commercial-grade Security and VPN Support

This router includes free ASUS AiProtection Pro, powered by Trend Micro, for commercial-grade network security. It supports a wide range of VPN protocols, including site-to-site VPNs for connecting multiple branch offices. You can configure VPN clients (L2TP, OpenVPN, PPTP, WireGuard) and VPN servers (IPSec, OpenVPN, PPTP, WireGuard). Because security is critical, the EBM68 also offers keyword, URL, and network service filters. However, you should confirm that your preferred VPN provider is compatible with the supported protocols.

Scalable Mesh for Growing Businesses

The ExpertWiFi EBM68 can support up to 12 node connections, allowing your network to expand as your business grows. Each node can handle around 100 active devices, making it suitable for busy retail or office environments. Because it is part of the ASUS ExpertWiFi series, it is compatible with ASUS AiMesh products, though supported features may vary by model. This scalability ensures your network can adapt without a complete replacement.

Versatile Connectivity and Failover

The router includes a 2.5 Gbps WAN port, three gigabit LAN ports, and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port. LAN aggregation is supported by pairing LAN2 and LAN3 ports for increased wired bandwidth. For business continuity, dual WAN failover allows automatic switching to a backup internet connection if the primary link fails. You can also plug a smartphone into the USB port for backup internet without complex setup. This helps keep point-of-sale systems and critical services online.

Easy Management and Guest Engagement

The ASUS ExpertWiFi app lets you set up and manage the network from anywhere. A Self-defined Network (SDN) provides up to five SSIDs to segment traffic for employees, guests, IoT devices, and VPNs. Guest portals can be customised with branding and visual templates to engage customers. The scenario explorer guides novices through setup by selecting a business-matched configuration. Because management is centralised, you can control all devices under one account.

Eco-conscious Design and Hardware

The EBM68 features a vertical housing with specially designed vents for improved airflow and thermal performance. Up to 22% of the router is made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, and packaging is sourced from FSC-certified forestry. Hardware includes wall-mounting holes and a stand that doubles as a cable organiser. However, the input does not specify a UK plug; confirm the power adapter meets UK standards before purchase.
