First impression is the last impression, and Asus’s latest intimidating wireless router intends to make a long lasting impact. Asus is boasting its latest wireless router, the Asus RT-AC5300 as the “world’s fastest WiFi”.

The router looking like a creepy alien crab doesn’t score high on aesthetics, but it claims to be the best in business, thanks to its eight dual band antennas. Asus RT-AC5300 is a tri-band router.

On the 2.4 GHz band, it is capable of providing speed up to 1Gbps. It also has dual 5 Ghz band frequencies. Individually the dual frequencies can give speeds up to 2.167 Gbps and can reach to a maximum 5.3 Gbps when paired together. (The figures are all theoretical)

Linksys had also launched the very first MU-MIMO-enabled router in May this year that cold hit the speeds of 2.53 Gbps.

The Asus RT-AC5300 comes with WiFi b/g/n/ac, a gigabit WAN port, and four gigabit LAN ports on the back. You can also add printers and external storage with the USB 3.0 and a USB 2.0 port.

The Asus RT-AC5300 WiFi router will reach the markets later this year and its price has not been revealed yet.
