The quality of your Internet connection not only depends on the speed you have contracted (although it is an important factor) but also depends on network devices with the connection occurs. If they have a low quality, it is likely that the connection is unstable and does not get to have a smooth sailing. Here, routers typically companies renting us are, in most cases, of questionable quality. That is why today we bring you different alternatives for both ADSL as “Cable” with which to make the most of your Internet connection. In future post we will discuss how to improve the part of “client”.
Asus RT-AC68U Dual-Band Gigabit Router
This team is one of the most awards received throughout the year and this is a team with one of the fastest Wi-Fi connections in the world with speeds up to 1900 Mbps. It has Dual Band, including 5 GHz band that is able to deliver up to 1300 Mbps. In addition, incorporates five gigabit ports along with two USB 3.0 ports. But this is not the most important thing is that its dual-core processor will make your management as smooth as possible, eliminating performance slowdowns due to network congestion at that deliver multimedia content through streaming will not be a problem .
“With ASUS AiCloud you have the ability to access, sync and play your files via streaming and even connect other compatible routers to create a private server with your family and friends.”
So the customization that Asus has brought in its software has been created in order that you may carry out its management in a simple and, above all, clear.
