Asus announced a set of multi-unit wireless routers, HiveSpot and HiveDot, at CES 2017. The HiveSpot is a tri-band AC2134 router while the HiveDot is a dual-band AC1300 router with comparatively lower speeds. These mesh wireless routers can primarily be used to assure that there is no signal loss in any part of your home or office.
At least three nodes of either HiveSpot or HiveDot (up to five nodes are possible) are required for a system to be set up and any one of the nodes can be configured to be the router device and connected to your Gigabit LAN port, while the others are slave nodes. In the case users already have a router, they can opt to connect the master device to the existing router.
The HiveSpot mesh wireless router comes with seven smart antennas and apart from 802.11ac 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks, it also features a 5GHz band that provides an 867Mbps connection between its nodes.
The new mesh wireless routers from Asus make use of company's "AiRadar" beamforming tech to point wireless signals towards the devices using them. Each system is capable of supporting up to five separate nodes but it has not been made clear if users can use a combination of HiveSpot and HiveDot nodes for their setup. The company has not announced the pricing of the routers either.
Setting up and installation of the routers can be done through the Asus Hive mobile app. Further, there is a 'Smart Family Insights' feature that provides parental controls for monitoring and restricting web access.
