Seamless Optimized Home Wi-Fi From ASUS! - CES 2016

The video showcases ASUS’s refreshed home networking ecosystem unveiled at CES 2016, highlighting an app-driven approach to optimize Wi-Fi performance across a residence. The host explains that the system works with a companion app, developed with Cloud Check, which lets you walk through your home with a phone or tablet to measure real-time signal strength and performance. Data collected by the app is sent back to ASUS for real-time analysis, enabling users to make informed decisions about router placement, adding repeaters, or adjusting configurations for better coverage. In addition to diagnostic and visualization features, the ASUS router app provides traffic visualization, packet prioritization, and firmware management, emphasizing flexible diagnostics to troubleshoot both ISP and local network issues. The segment introduces the cm32 modem-router, noting its 4x4 MU-MIMO capability, AC2600 speeds, and an MSRP of 299, designed for large homes up to 5,000 square feet. The discussion also covers RP ac68u as a media bridge with wired Ethernet, USB 3.0, and NAS-like capabilities, along with RP ac66 repeaters that support seamless handoff between access points. The overall value proposition centers on seamless roaming within the home, built-in wall power, and a simple, scalable setup that promises easier optimization and management of a multi-device network. The presentation wraps with mentions of Squarespace for CES coverage and a light aside about building a website with their templates, tying the showcase back to practical, end-user benefits like zero-friction connectivity and a polished home Wi-Fi experience.
