In theory, a single solid router should solve all of your Wi-Fi woes. But real life is messy. A wall, electronics, or furniture is enough to deflect radio signals and create Wi-Fi dead spots.
One way to solve these Wi-Fi dead spots is with a Wi-Fi mesh system. In case you haven’t heard of them, a Wi-Fi mesh system is a pack of Wi-Fi devices. One serves as a router, while one or two other serve as ‘nodes.’
Instead of using a single router to try and cover a home, a Wi-Fi mesh system uses nodes spread throughout the home to distribute Wi-Fi. These systems often work well, but they can get expensive.
ASUS AiMesh unlocks the power of mesh
ASUS AiMesh does something rather clever. It is a technology that enables existing ASUS routers (selected models) to create a Wi-Fi mesh network, no hardware upgrade needed. All you need to do is to install a (free!) firmware upgrade.
ASUS AiMesh currently works with these ASUS routers:
RT-AC68U
RT-AC68U V2
RT-AC86U
RT-AC88U
RT-AC5300
ROG Rapture GT-AC5300

Of Embracing Escapism And Confronting Reality
As you embark on the journey that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth offers, there’s a moment that distinctly shifts the narrative’s atmosphere: Aerith pauses to take in the in-game scenery with a sense of wonder, which stood in stark contrast to the earlier parts of the game, where the flower girl, alongside other FFVII key companions such as Cloud and Tifa, navigates the cramped slums and towering corporate skyscrapers of Midgar.
Take Even Better Photos With The iPhone 15 Pro And 15 Pro Max
We already covered the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro Max's photography capabilities rather extensively in our review, but the general idea is that Apple has done a great job improving the software side and offering better sharpness, detail and a new 5x telephoto zoom lens on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Blackwell GPU release rumours for many months now, but most are postulating what the GeForce RTX 4090 successor could offer. While that's not focus of today's launch, the Blackwell GPU architecture has finally been announced at NVIDIA'S premier AI conference, GTC 2024. With a headline such as wielding power to drive the new industrial revolution, the Blackwell GPU is shaping up to be a key enabler for accelerated computing, breakthrough data processing, engineering simulation, drug design, quantum computing, and generative AI in a very big way.
