TRENDnet Launches TEW-692GR Router, 450Mbps On Both Bands

Networking gear may not seem like the most thrilling topic at a glance, but how else would you be reading this right now? TRENDnet seems to be making a habit of producing unique networking gear, and the company's latest certainly fits that same bill. The newest router to come from 'em is also the first dual-band router to support 450Mbps on both bands. The 450Mbps Concurrent Dual Band Wireless N Router, model TEW-692GR, is the first router to offer full 450 Mbps speeds on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless bands concurrently-for a total throughput of 900 Mbps. A popular Dual Band network configuration is to assign the low interference 5 GHz band to media center devices, and the more popular 2.4 GHz band to computers and peripherals that are typically only able to connect using the 2.4 GHz frequency.


"All other '450' Dual Band routers on the market today only support 300 Mbps speeds on the 2.4 GHz band," stated Pei Huang, President and CEO of TRENDnet. So, he told them! This one will ship with a three year limited warranty and will be available from all online and retail partners before the end of June, but coming up with the $249.99 asking price may be a chore.
