5 Reasons Why The ASUS Lyra Is Unlike Any Other Wi-fi Mesh System

|October 2017
Mesh Wi-Fi systems are the latest innovation in home networking and can help homes get rid of their Wi-Fi dead spots. However, did you know that not all mesh networking systems are equal? Some are more equal than others. This is why the new ASUS Lyra is the ideal solution to your home Wi-Fi dead spots.

1 A TRUE MESH NETWORKING SYSTEM
Not all mesh networking systems use a true mesh topology. Some mesh networking systems actually employ what is sometimes called a star topology. These systems suffer from less flexibility in deployment. One big difference is that in mesh networks that rely on the star topology is the need for a central router and that nodes cannot be daisy-chained. This means Wi-Fi coverage can only be expanded in a single step from the central router. In true mesh networking systems, like the ASUS Lyra, nodes can be daisy-chained, allowing Wi-Fi coverage to be expanded in limitless ways. In layman’s terms, this means greater flexibility in deployment especially in larger homes.

FIVE HOURS INTO SILENT HILL F: FINDING BEAUTY IN KONAMI'S LATEST HORROR SERIES
I wasn't sure what to expect when Konami invited me to their headquarters in Tokyo for a special preview of the latest title from its Silent Hill horror series, Silent Hill f.
