We’re always looking for new ways to connect our VoIP App-powered devices, and ASUS has just introduced its own 802.11ac 5G Wi-Fi router to join those we have reported on earlier from NETGEAR, Belkin, and Buffalo.
Featuring the same Black Diamond theme as used on many previous ASUS routers, the ASUS RT-AC66U combines 2.4GHz and 5GHz bandwidth to sling data at up to 1.75Gbps.
Unfortunately, as of this writing, there’s no price or release date mentioned.
ASUS RT-AC66U router
The ASUS RT-AC66U router integrates dual-band Gigabit wireless with fifth generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology, also known as 5G WiFi, which enables speeds up to three times faster than existing 802.11n. As one of the first routers to achieve this, it tops Gigabit wireless requirements with a combined 2.4GHz/5GHz bandwidth of 1.75Gbps. This massive data rate makes it an excellent high speed router for demanding online applications, coupled with exclusive ASUS AiRadar signal amplification and shaping technology. Easy ASUSWRT setup, multiple SSIDs, and IPv6 support further enhance networking, while strong USB-based capabilities turn the RT-AC66U into a 3G, FTP, DLNA, and printer server for genuine multi-role functionality.
