In this country, Asus is another vendor of routers. The firm hopes to provide items under the TUF brand, particularly for video gamers who wish to take advantage of excellent transmission quality and data transfer rates even while using a wireless connection. In China, the company is now selling two new routers.
The more costly and hence more feature-rich variant is the TUF Little Tornado Pro BE6500. This model’s benefits will be most noticeable in wired networks. The router has many Ethernet connections that can handle up to 2.5 GBit/s of data transfer. For Internet access, a faster connection is usually not necessary because fast network storage devices, for instance, may better utilize their data transfer rate. Since a separate processor is installed, a Qualcomm SoC with four 1.5 GHz processing cores is utilized in place of a Broadcom SoC.
The TUF Little Tornado BE3600 already differs visually from the Pro model. The BE3600 only has four antennas, while the BE6500 has six. Both routers support the new WiFi 7 standard. This should also bring advantages when used in densely populated areas. The BE3600 only has a single 2.5-GBit/s Ethernet port. The maximum wireless connection speed for BE3600 is said to be 3600 MBit/s and unsurprisingly 6,500 MBit/s for the BE6500. AI functions are advertised, for example for setting up a mesh network. The routers will be launched in China for the equivalent of around 65 and 103 euros respectively. Information on the availability of global models is not yet available.
