ASUS also today announced the RT-N14U wireless N300 router, priced at US$70. The RT-N14U is capable of 300Mbit/s 802.11n Wi-Fi and supports the ASUS AiCloud platform. Using ASUS AiCloud, users can sync, share, stream, and access content from wherever an internet connection is available.
The RT-N14U features a USB 2.0 port to enable plug-n-play connections with 3G/4G adapters, external storage, and printers. It can act as a printer and FTP server as well as a cellular network failover backup for LAN and WAN connections. ASUS software features include the ASUSWRT interface for 30-second setup and easy network management, Download Master remote-managed downloads, parental controls, and guest access.
ASUS AiCloud offers cloud access with a host of features while maintaining security and privacy. Users can sync, share, stream, and access content located on connected USB storage from any location, using the RT-N14U as their home cloud server. ASUS AiCloud is compatible with iOS, Android, and Windows PC. It merges with the ASUS WebStorage service and offers link-based sharing. Users can send a link for other users to download shared content from, which is much faster than navigating a public cloud interface. This can be done via email, SMS, or popular applications such as WhatsApp and LINE.
The ASUSWRT interface allows 30-second setup and also offers one-click QoS (quality of service) bandwidth optimization based on connection type, number of networked devices, and applications being run. The RT-N14U package also includes Download Master with support for downloading directly to router-attached USB storage so downloads continue even with the destination PC shut down. Remote download management is also available, and the ASUSWRT interface includes detailed guest access controls to help customers share connections with greater security and ease of use.
