Hi FYI
From http://prezi.com/fnil4s-yei7l/untitled-prezi/

RT-AC68U
The most powerful wireless router
World's fastest data rate at 1.9 Gbps
AiRadar beamforming for best Wi-Fi performance
Dual-core CPU enhances overall performance

I tried with speed permutations that include 160MHz channels - but 1900? Going 160MHz would double the rate of a single AC channel - so perhaps 1x 160MHz, 2x 80MHz + 1 N channel would nearly make 1900Mbit/s (1882), but would conflict with the 3 N channel assertion.
I guess we'll get the explanation once Computex gets underway..

Keep in mind that the AC1900 moniker is nothing more than marketing branding - it is in no way a technical specification. And it is about an unannounced product, so it could very well be totally wrong as well (try an AC1900 search on Google to see what I mean).

Yeah, the numbers don't add up. I don't think they are going to 4x4 or 160 MHz channels. See this Stream/Rate/Channel Width summary

802.11n allows four spatial streams in a 40Mhz channel for 600 Mbps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11n#Data_rates

Will be interesting to see the chipset they use for that...

Hmm

I was told AC1900 is constructed in this manner, up for thoughts and discussion

me 10.

how did they come up with AC1900 ?
AC1750 is 450 from 2.4Ghz, and 1300 from 5GHz

AC1900 ~ 5GHz (1300Mbps 3 spatial streams) + 2.4GHz (600Mbps 3 spatial streams) so i was told

awhhhsummmm!

 

[XFalconX]

Definitely interested in this router. Any info on release date or pre-orders?

Looks like it was officially announced today at computex. No release dates as of yet or price

 

[klas]

Will be getting it as soon as it's out. We'll see how it stacks up against wonderful R6300.

 

[dunkin]

Does it have external antenna or not?

 

[bigmag]

Yes he have 3

See the pictures

AC1900 ~ 5GHz (1300Mbps 3 spatial streams) + 2.4GHz (600Mbps 3 spatial streams) so i was told

It doesn't seem there is a "3 stream / 600Mbps Wireless-N" combination according to this.


The 1900Mbps spec could be marketing smoke&mirrors for this theoretical & concurrent throughput combination:

5Ghz Wireless-AC (1300Mbps / 3 stream) + 5Ghz Wireless-N (300Mbps / 2 stream) + 2.4Ghz Wireless-N (300Mbps / 2 stream).

Although it would seem to make sense that 3 stream Wireless-N @ 450Mbps would be used for a total theoretical throughput of 2200Mbps.

Inside Story: ASUS RT-AC56U & RT-AC68U

I can confirm that the RT-AC56U does have 128 MB of Flash. Samsung-branded NAND.

 

[deagle]

Does the SoC have hardware crypto acceleration? Trying to decide between this and a EdgeMax Lite + Unifi AC combo... obviously Asus would be a lot cheaper.

 

[DaveMishSr]

RT-AC67U is now the RT-AC68U?

I have read that the RT-AC67U has been re-designated as the RT-AC68U. Is this true? Would anyone like to shed some light on this?

 

[RMerlin]

That's correct.

Man can't wait to get this fat butt router.
Skipped the ac66u since i don't need ac, why get this? Finally a cpu upgrade!

Don't get caught up in the marketing hype.

I haven't seen significant performance improvements on other BCM4708-based routers so far.
