IFA 2015: ASUS announces the beastly-looking RT-AC5300 router that boasts “world’s fastest Wi-Fi”

There are some pretty badass looking products being announced at IFA 2015 so far. First, there was the Acer Predator 6 with its sharp edges and now ASUS has announced a router that looks like the top of Saruman’s tower in The Lord of the Rings. Unsurprisingly, the device is being targeted at gamers and people who want 4K streaming to be a reality as the RT-AC5300 router boasts the “world’s fastest Wi-Fi” – on a side now, I feel like ASUS has missed a golden naming opportunity by calling it the RT-AC5300.

If you’re wondering what kind of speeds you can expect with the RT-AC5300 router, ASUS says you should be getting 1Gbps over the 2.4GHz bands and up to 2.167Gbps on the two 5GHz bands available to the router. I’m not great at math, but that sounds like more than enough for most people’s streaming and gaming needs – I think I know what I want for Christmas now.
