Why do these new routers look like some alien spaceship??

The previous AC-68U actually looked classy

  AC-68U looks like crap in my opinion. Great router though.

My last question never got answered. Why do people need a $400 or $250 modem/router?
- tukanglistrik on 13/02/2018 - 22:03
  
  Most people don't. Max speed of your mobile is 433 Mbps, your laptop most likely is 866 Mbps. So AC1300 or AC1900 is enough for most people.

    So basically it's just for silly people that stream large amounts of data over wifi?

      You'll need a good WiFi card for your desktop/laptop to get 1300, 1733 or 2166 Mbps, then these AC3100 routers can be fully utilised. That said, if you have a lot of users then higher end routers (with higher CPU speed) can manage the traffic and prioritisation better.

+1

"exclusive to harvey norman" - Makes me wonder what is missing or what specifications have been reduced.

  I think asus just license the model number. They are identical
