ASUS Networking Blue Cave AC2600 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router 4xAntenna for Large Homes

Built to Perform. Styled to Be Seen.
ASUS Blue Cave is built to perform, and styled to be seen. Combining the power of Intel WiFi and ASUS engineering innovation, the easy-to-use Blue Cave gives you super-smooth streaming and lag-free gaming all around your home. And with advanced ASUS AiProtection security and Family Overview parental controls, you can rest easy knowing everyone is safe and secure online.

Perfect WiFi, Engineered to Enhance Your Home
Blue Cave’s unique styling and powerful performance are both made possible by our sophisticated WiFi engineering. Internal antennas are often a compromise: they allow a neater external design, but they can be prone to performance-sapping interference. On Blue Cave the four fully-optimized antennas actually outperform some external antennas by up to 28%. The location and orientation of the antennas relative to each other and to the internal circuitry was carefully decided by experiment to give the best possible WiFi signal in all directions: the widest coverage was attained with three vertical antennas and one horizontal. The ultra-slim circuit board and custom graphene-coated heatsinks were specially designed to make best use of the internal space.

Keeping cool with nanotechnology
The dual ASUS-designed heatsinks on the main circuit board maximize the surface area available for cooling, while taking full advantage of the shape of the interior space. These advanced heatsinks use a graphene coating with amazing heat-dissipation properties that far outperforms standard heatsink materials.

Compact by design
To enable Blue Cave’s compact and unobtrusive styling, the specially designed circuit board is half the size of a normal 4×4 router board, and it’s separated into two overlapping sections. Special electronic engineering techniques were employed to avoid the signal-leakage problems often associated with such an arrangement.
