Asus Lyra Voice Router That Talks

A smart router with Alexa support.

Here at T3 India, we’ve had the privilege to check out some interesting routers in the past. Right from the ones with displays to mesh and even with RGBs. We have seen it all. But Asus’ latest offering takes the cake of being a router but not actually looking like one.

The Lyra Voice looks like any other speaker in the market but a closer look at the back reveals its real purpose. Lyra Voice brings the smartness of Alexa and router packed into one.

Design-wise, Lyra Voice comes with textured fabric exterior along with an LED light on the front that tells you if Alexa is listening or not while the top comes with mic and four physical buttons like the volume control, mute and an action key. The back hides the gigabit LAN and WAN port, AC adapter port and the on/off slider. Overall, the Lyra Voice looks fantastic and a perfect addition to the living room.
