ASUS promotes pocket-sized mini routers for secure travel Wi-Fi

ASUS has introduced a lineup of compact mini routers designed for secure Wi-Fi access at home or on the go. Models like the RT-BE58 Go, RT-AX57 Go, and RT-AX50 Go offer high speeds, VPN protection, and portability. The company is running a giveaway for one of these devices through May 17.

ASUS mini routers provide secure, private Wi-Fi connections for small spaces such as apartments, coffee shops, or travel scenarios. These pocket-sized devices protect users from risks on public networks, enabling safe online banking, file uploads, and streaming. They support tri-mode connectivity, allowing use as a stationary router, public Wi-Fi repeater, or mobile hotspot via 4G/5G tethering, with automatic device reconnection for convenience. Users can switch modes easily, such as with a tap on the RT-BE58 Go, and benefit from USB-C PD charging for quick power-ups on trips. The RT-BE58 Go features Wi-Fi 7 technology with dual-band speeds up to 3,600 Mbps, 24/7 encryption, and VPN capabilities, measuring about 4.5 by 4 inches. The RT-AX57 Go delivers Wi-Fi 6 speeds up to 3,000 Mbps and weighs less than half a pound, ideal for remote work or offices. The lightest RT-AX50 Go, under 4 ounces and smaller than 3 square inches, prioritizes packability with plug-and-go setup and full VPN features. ASUS is hosting the Dream Your Travel Wi-Fi giveaway, open through May 17, 2026. Participants can post a social media photo of their dream travel moment using the ASUS web filter to enter for a chance to win one of the mini routers. No purchase is necessary, and full terms apply.

Netgear and Eero gain exemptions from FCC foreign router ban

Imeripotiwa na AI Picha iliyoundwa na AI

The Federal Communications Commission has granted exemptions to Netgear and Eero from its ban on new foreign-made Wi-Fi routers. The move follows the original March 23 order that targeted devices with manufacturing or design outside the United States. Firmware updates for existing models will continue until at least January 1, 2029.

Following the FCC's March 23 announcement banning sales of new Wi-Fi routers with major foreign manufacturing due to security risks, companies like TP-Link and Netgear have responded with production shift plans, while experts cite threats like Salt Typhoon and warn of update cutoffs after March 1, 2027. No exemptions granted yet; Starlink routers appear unaffected.
