ASUS Launches the Fastest Wi-FI Router Ever,

at 2.33 Gbps
Wireless communication technologies are becoming so fast that cab
le-based LAN is starting to be left behind. It will soon reach the point
where 10 GbE technologies will hae to replace Gigabit Ethernet in or
der to aoid total aw!wardness.
Admittedl"# it has alread" started# but the number of motherboards wi
th 10 GbE is er" small still# and it$s not li!e there are man" NA% dei
ces and serers that o&er the capabilit" either.
'ecause of that# man" high-end dual-band wireless routers probabl" c
an$t wor! to their full potential. Een if the" hae a total performance
of 1#(00 )bps# the" can$t reall" use it all e*cept for inter-deice conne
ctions.
If "ou hae# sa"# +0 people tr"ing to access the Internet from their ,-s
or phones at the same time# the data speed will be limited to what "ou
r cable can dish out.
A%.% has decided to go ahead and release a trul" ludicrousl" oerpow
ered Wi-/i router an"wa"0 the 12-A-34# the 5rst to boast Wae + featu
res.
Wae + Wi-/i features proide better reliabilit"# oerall performance i
mproements and speed boosts in certain situations# for the 30+.11ac
generation of Wi/i routers.
Loo!ing at the 12-A-34# we can de5nitel" sa" that those claims hae s
ubstance. We ma" hae seen the +.6 G78 band being pushed to 900 )
bps before :though rarel";# but the < G78 did not come in 1.4= Gbps p
reiousl"# een with the use of 'eam/orming :and "es# A%.% uses it# f
or ma*imi8ed range and signal strength;.
2his all boils down to a total data throughput of up to +.== Gbps# gie
or ta!e a do8en )bps. A er" high performance indeed# with >uite an
adantage oer the preious so-called record of 1.( Gbps.
It is >uite surprising# in a wa"# that A%.% managed to be the 5rst to ta
!e a slice of the Wae + pie. We would hae e*pected Netgear# ?-Lin!
or een 'el!in to open the doors# so to spea!# considering that the" ac
tuall" focus on networ!ing hardware# wireless or otherwise.
@f course# the" are bound to launch their own products soon# perhaps
this er" wee!. And the" might not een hae to worr" about competi
ng with A%.%# since the latter$s 12-A-34 will onl" be aailable in Nort
h America at launch.
%pea!ing of which# sales should start within a few da"s# for the price o
f A+40 B C+00. 2he other companies will probabl" hoer around the sa
me price point# or whateer the e>uialent is in Europe# Australia and
