Asus RT-AC68U 1900 Mbps claims to be the world’s fastest Wi-Fi router!

Back in June, Asus unveiled what it claims to be the world’s fastest Wi-Fi router. The router is the RT-AC68U and it’s capable of combined dual-band data rates as fast as 1900 Mbps. That gives the router three times faster performance than the typical 802.11n router on the market today according to Asus.

• The world's fastest Wi-Fi router, with combined dual-band data rates of 1900 Mbps for three times faster performance than 802.11n routers
• Broadcom® TurboQAM™ technology increases wireless-N data rate to 600 Mbps for 33% faster performance
• Five Gigabit Ethernet ports for fast, stable wired network connections
• Dual USB ports with USB 3.0 for ten times faster data transfer than USB 2.0 Dual-core processor for fast and responsive performance with Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB devices
• ASUS AiCloud cloud service to access, sync, share, and stream your data wherever you are, even connect to other compatible routers creating a private cloud server with family and friends

The router uses Broadcom TurboQAM technology to increase the performance of wireless-N data transfer by 33%. On the back of the wireless router are five gigabit Ethernet ports designed for connecting wired devices. The router also has dual USB 3.0 ports built-in.

Under the hood, the router features a dual-core processor to manage the data throughput. Asus also included support for its AiCloud service allowing users to access, share, and stream data from the cloud from wherever they are. The router supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless networks with speeds of up to 600 Mbps and 1300 Mbps respectively, for combined 1900 Mbps of wireless throughput.

The router has three external antennas and supports 64-bit and 128-bit WEP. It also supports several other security protocols including WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK, WPA-Enterprise , WPA2-Enterprise , and WPS support. As with just about every wireless router out there, the RT-AC68U also has an integrated firewall. One of the things we didn’t know when this router was first announced back in June was exactly how much it would cost. The router is now available for pre-order on Amazon for $213.95. The product should ship on October 9.
