I can't wait to see some proper benchmarks on how this thing performs. I'm thinking this will give that new WRT from Linksys something to worry about.

wow

4x4 MIMO and MU-MIMO

about damn time

 

anyways 1.73Gbps is just theoretical speeds it will be lower than that

but still FAST

currently the fastest downlink achievable on AC (AC68U)  is around 250 Mbps on 5Ghz band

If your grave doesn't say "rest in peace" on it You are automatically drafted into the skeleton war.

Unfortunately this is will always plague wireless specifications but it's still great to see competition and innovation no matter where it's at.
