Asus RT-AX53U Router Login
You will need to connect your smartphone/computer to the Asus router network to access the Asus RT-AX53U login page. The login page uses the local server. It is therefore important to connect your computer to the network. Here are some steps you can follow to access the login page.
- An Ethernet cable can be used to connect your Asus RT-AX53U setup with the MODEM. The cable should be plugged in one end to the router’s LAN port and the other into the MODEM’s LAN port.
- The power adapter and power cords should be connected to the power outlet. Turn on the power supply, and wait for your router to return to normal operation.
- Once the power LED turns solid on your device, you can go to the section “Networks and Internet” on the computer/wireless setting on your smartphone. From the list of available networks, look for the Asus router SSID. Click on the “Connect” button and select the name.
Now you will see a prompt on the computer with a message indicating that your connection was successful.
