Today at IFA, ASUS decided to launch a new WiFi router that they said would offer the fastest connection speeds ever.
Quite a statement, and one that would inevitably get people talking. WiFi speed is of course, the biggest first world problem of all.
But once the device appeared on-stage, that’s not what people were talking about.

All that's missing from the new #Asus router is barbed wire. Looks like it was designed by a 13 year old #SciFi fan

It was also suggested this could be the beginning of the Skynet revolution.
Wherever you stand on the alien spider/Robot Wars cast-off/horror movie prop spectrum, you can’t deny that once you’ve seen the RT-AC5300 (it’s real name), you probably won’t forget it.
