Perfect WiFi, Engineered to Enhance Your Home

Our innovative WiFi engineering allows Blue Cave's distinct appearance and outstanding performance.

Internal antennas are usually a compromise. They provide a cleaner design on the outside, but they are susceptible to interference, which reduces performance.

At Blue Cave, the four completely designed antennas work better than some external antennas by up to 28%.

Experiments were done to figure out where and how the antennas should be placed in relation to each other and the internal circuitry to give the best WiFi signal in all directions. Three vertical antennas and one horizontal antenna that helps send the WiFi signal across floors gave the best coverage.

The ultra-thin circuit board and graphene-coated heatsinks were made to make the most of the space inside.

Nanotechnology keeps you cool

The two ASUS-designed heatsinks on the main circuit board optimize cooling surface area while taking full use of the inside space's form.

These cutting-edge heatsinks include a graphene layer with incredible heat-dissipation characteristics that greatly surpass ordinary heatsink materials.

The design is compact

Blue Cave's compact and inconspicuous shape is made possible by a specially designed circuit board that is half the size of a standard 4x4 router board and is divided into two overlapping parts.

Special electronic engineering approaches were employed to avoid the signal-leakage issues that are common with this type of configuration.

Make the Internet a more secure environment for everyone.

Every member of your family, young and old, is vulnerable to the risks of the internet at all times.

Cyberthreats can steal your personal information by impersonating someone else, and your children may be exposed to improper content by mistake as they spend more time on screens.

Blue Cave's Advanced Parental Controls provide total piece of mind by providing commercial-grade security for your home network as well as simple, full control over each family member's and device's online experience, all via the mobile app.

Commercial-Grade Home Network Security

ASUS AiProtection, which is powered by Trend Micro, is built into Blue Cave to give your home network more protection.

With AiProtection, all your connected devices—including smart home (loT) appliances—are protected to prevent your personal data from being compromised.

Block Access to Malicious Websites

AiProtection uses Trend Micro's official database to identify and block known malicious sites, preventing infection even before you click.

Protection Against Attacks

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) blocks all common internet-based attacks.

Infection Detection and Blocking

Even if an already-infected device is connected to Blue Cave, AiProtection prevents any personal data on the device from being compromised.

Advanced Parental Controls

ASUS Blue Cave lets you keep a watchful eye on your family's internet usage, and decide how much internet time or what apps each family member is allowed. State-of-the-art parental controls let you block specific categories of mobile apps and websites — and apply these settings to all devices belonging to a family member — while allowing free access to the rest of the internet.

• VIEW EACH FAMILY MEMBER'S INTERNET ACTIVITY ON A DASHBOARD, VIA THE FAMILY MEMBER MENU ITEM
• CHOOSE SPECIFIC CONTENT TYPES TO BLOCK
• SET TIME SCHEDULES FOR INTERNET ACCESS
