Product details

Built to perform. Styled to be seen.
The ASUS Blue Cave is designed for peak performance and crafted to stand out. The user-friendly Blue Cave combines powerful Intel Wi-Fi with innovative ASUS technology for extremely smooth streaming and lag-free gaming throughout the home. With advanced network security featuring ASUS AiProtection and the Family Overview parental controls, you can trust that your family is protected from online threats at all times.

Perfect Wi-Fi – designed to make your home even better.
Both the unique design and impressive performance of the Blue Cave are made possible by our advanced Wi-Fi technology. Internal antennas often come with compromises: they allow for a sleeker exterior design but are susceptible to interference. The Blue Cave's four fully optimized antennas even outperform some external antennas by up to 28%.

Mit Blue Cave bietet Asus einen schnellen und sehr gut ausgestatteten 4x4-AC-Router, der hinter einem Modem(-Router) selbst im Wohnzimmer eine gute Figur abgibt.

Der Asus Blue Cave ist nicht die Leistungsmaschine für anspruchsvolle Nutzer. Vielmehr ist es ein einfacher Router mit schickem Design und ordentlicher Leistung. Für die leichte Bedienung und das Design bezahlt man ein kleines bisschen mehr, als die Leistung wohl Wert wäre, das wird aber durchaus durch den Rest ausgeglichen.

Wer "einfach nur Internet" braucht, das aber flott, der macht mit dem Blue Cave wenig falsch. Doch wenn Spezialitäten wie Multicast-IPTV oder IPv6-Subnetting wichtig sind, dann läuft Asus weiter AVM hinterher.
