Hi! List members may recall I wrote about my Asus RTAC3200 which I think I bought near the end of November last year, the Asus RTAC3200 is a powerhouse of a Router and for those new to what I’m talking about then you can find the whole discussion in the PC-Audio archives.
I bought the Router for the many opportunities it offered in expanding my network and to pursue my addiction, that of streaming content - whether it be audio or video - from point A to Point B. The Asus RTAC3200 has a theoretical top speed of 3200MBPS thanks to its powerful processor and tri-band radios but even this looks rather tired when one considers the new Asus RTAC5300 which was recently released and is the talking point of the Router club right now. I only mention this because now we have a new model of Router it would seem an opportune time for those wishing to upgrade their Router hardware to look at the RTAC320, the price has dropped significantly here since I bought mine, dropped by over 10% in fact. The RTAC5300 is still a rather expensive proposition - I’m not considering the upgrade myself - but for those who have the money? All I say is go for it! you’ll have the power of your network right in your hands to stream all your data to the all the corners of your home - and in my case beyond -. The RTAC5300 has 8 antennas rather than the 6 of the RTAC3200 thus covers an even wider area, I can only imagine what sort of coverage I’d get here with one of those things. Anyway Hello to all you fell streamers and keep “In The Flow”. ********** Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the halfwits in this world behind.
