we're in the ASUS suite and while networking may be a fairly new category
0:04
for ASUS that does not prevent them from innovating now I have whined and
0:10
complained about AC I think enough times
0:14
we showcased a USB AC adapter that was capable of something like 60% of the
0:19
performance of just some random n450
0:23
adapter we had lying around I mean come on if you're going to call it 1200 megabit per second and it uses USB 2
0:29
which is 400 80 megabit per second I think we got a problem here this is the
0:33
pce ac66 this is AC the way it's meant to be
0:38
implemented the way it needs to be implemented AC is not ready to be a USB
0:44
adapter yet it needs beefy antennas it
0:47
needs Cooling and it needs power so this is PCI Express it has an external
0:52
adapter and it is capable of running at
0:55
ac750 so once the next draft standard comes out this will be fast enough to go
1:01

1:37
everyone is concerned about the highest performance Wireless solution in the
1:42
world so maybe you want something that's a range extender you know easy to use
1:46

1:50
it looks pretty looks pretty normal looks pretty normal oh oh oh okay it
1:54

2:00
so I mean hey if you're if you're G to have you know range extenders all over
2:04
the place you might as well have some additional functionality that they're
2:07
providing to your household so I think that's pretty cool this is the RP n53
2:11
range extender I mean this is the kind of thing that sort of gets the YouTuber
2:15
and me sort of kind of excited because everyone wants me to do a video about
2:18
their range extender but the unfortunate truth is that there's not a whole lot to
2:21
say about range extenders they do what they say they do they extend your range
2:25
you plug it in and then now we have an exciting range extender this range
2:29
extender not only allows you to continue using your tablet as you walk around
