Portable WiFi 6 router for travel and remote work

The ASUS RT-AX50 GO is a palm-sized wireless router built for travellers, remote workers and anyone needing a private network on the move. It supports WiFi 6 dual-band operation and creates a secure hotspot from 4G or 5G mobile tethering, public WiFi in WISP mode or a wired WAN connection. Power comes from a USB-C PD source so no separate adapter is required.

AX1500 dual-band limits and single Gigabit port

The AX1500 radio tops out at 1.5Gbps combined across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands using two internal antennas. A single 10/100/1000M WAN port caps wired backhaul at 1Gbps, so multi-gigabit internet plans cannot be fully utilised. WPA3 encryption is supported, but there is no 6 GHz band, no multi-gig port and no external antenna connectors for range extension.

128MB RAM and flash suit light loads only

With 128MB of RAM and 128MB of flash storage the router handles typical travel workloads such as web browsing, video streaming and VPN client tunnels for a handful of devices. Heavy concurrent connections, large routing tables or advanced QoS rules will exhaust memory quickly. Buyers who need more storage for logs, packages or many simultaneous VPN users should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What does the AX1500 rating mean for everyday speeds on this router?

AX1500 is the combined theoretical ceiling of 1.5 Gbps across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands; real-world throughput will be lower and depends on client capability and interference.

How does the single Gigabit WAN port limit the RT-AX50 GO?

The 10/100/1000M WAN port caps wired upstream at 1 Gbps, so any 4G/5G tethering or public Wi-Fi backhaul faster than that will be bottlenecked at the port.

Which USB port should I use for a 4G/5G dongle versus charging the router?

Use the USB-A port for mobile tethering with a 4G/5G dongle; the USB-C port is for power delivery only and accepts 5 V/3 A, 9 V/1.67 A or 12 V/1.25 A.
