Maximum PC: Netgear today announced what it claims is the industry's first AC3200 tri-band Wi-Fi router, the Nighthawk X6. That claim is born from the fact that this is the only consumer tri-band router that's available to purchase today (in pre-order form, with shipping expected in July) -- Asus has its RT-AC3200 on tap as well, though it doesn't look like it will beat Netgear's newest unit into homes.
ThePCEnthusiast.com: "Nowadays, we are moving from a stage in technology where our devices, gadgets, computers and several electronic devices are being freed from the shackles of cables. We are in a time where things are already wireless, where we stream media and share data wirelessly from one device to another. To cope up with the ever growing number of (mobile) devices in our home that needs to connect wirelessly, we need a high performance WiFi router that can transmit data from one device to another, or connect several devices at the same time and still get a fast connection. Today, we are going to look at Netgear’s flagship WiFi router, featuring Tri-Band WiFi technology that can simultaneously connect all your devices at home – the Netgear Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router (Model: R8000)."
So basically it's behaving in a rather anti net-neutrality manner by providing fast lanes to premium devices. Anyone else get a chuckle out of that?
Damn! Cheated! Here I thought 802.11ad had been approved and we were going to see 2.4/5/60 channels. Alas, Netgear spins another web of deceit.
