Asus has just released its new router which the company believes as the 'world's fastest Wi-Fi'. One of the most noticeable features of the new router is its numerous spikes which are actually antennas.
The new router named RT-AC5300 is considered faster by about 67 percent compared to the first-generation triband routers. This can be most compatible for those users who love to play online games, like to work for networking, and also for those individuals who want to stream 4K resolution videos.
The new device also contains some decent and attractive specifications. According to Engadget, the new router is packed with 1 Gigabits per second (Gbps) that is suited for connections higher than 2.4 Gigahertz (GHz). It can also achieve 2.167 Gbps at maximum for each pair of 5GHz bands.
RT-AC5300 is surrounded with eight spiky lances which are actually eight dual-band antennas that will increase the coverage of the router even in tiny offices and complex homes. The new device also has USB ports that support 2.0 and 3.0 versions.
However, the main key that still makes a fast internet is the user's Wi-Fi connection. Even though the new router is considerably fast in capturing signals, it can have a negligible effect when the client's Wi-Fi is relatively slow.
There are also other reasons on having a slow wireless internet connection. This includes electrical interferences, geographic settings and hardware and software overheads. The device used such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktops should also be considered.
The launching of a faster and more improved router is no longer new to consumers. Google has just released its OnHub router earlier last month. Other companies have also launched their enhanced versions of routers. This means that Asus is not alone in the market which sells speed enhancing router devices.
The new device is said to be the first AC-5300 retail router. It will be shipped by the end of the year and is speculated to be priced at around $400.
