802.11ac at up to 1.3Gbps. Plus, the stylish external magnetized antenna base
gives you more flexibility in adjusting antenna placement to get the best signal
reception quality possible.
- 5th generation 802.11ac chipset gives you dual-band,2.4GHz/5GHz for up to
super-fast 1.30Gbps
- Flexible extended antenna placement helps you pinpoint the best reception in
your environment.
- Instant Wi-Fi upgrade for your desktop: no more messy Ethernet cables
needed.
- High-power design clears up dead zones with 150% greater coverage
- Custom heatsink dissipates heat for more stable and reliable non-stop
operation
Fastest Wi-Fi standard: 802.11ac
The PCE-AC68 uses Broadcom’s new 5th generation Wi-Fi 802.11ac chipset to
reach speeds of up to 1.3Gbit/s through the 5GHz band, which is three times
faster than 802.11n Wi-Fi. At the same time, it maintains full backward
compatibility with all previous Wi-Fi protocols, providing high performance
two-way transmission while ensuring a smooth transition to 802.11ac and seamless
interconnection with existing devices.
Next-generation Wi-Fi on both bands!
Broadcom TurboQAMâ„¢ hardware integrated on the PCE-AC68 brings the speed
benefits of next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. At
600Mbit/s and 1.3Gbit/s resÂpectively, they turn the PCE-AC68 into a
formidable AC1900 wireless adapter, providing speeds that cannot be bettered by
generic wireless adapters. Connect the PCE-AC68 to ASUS networks to attain the
very highest possible Wi-Fi speeds.
Extend and strengthen your wireless connection
ASUS AiRadar intelligently strengthens wireless device connectivity using
precise directional signal amplification for extended coverage, increased
data-throughput speed, and enhanced stability. Wi-Fi-connection strength varies
based on your environment, so the PCE-AC68 intelligently detects wireless router
locations and ‘shapes’ data transmissions using three external antennas and
high-powered beam-packing — assuring the fastest stable connection.
No more dead zones with 150% the coverage!
Powerful two-way transmission and a signal-boosting high-gain design give the
PCE-AC66 improved two-way transmission that extends Wi-Fi range and coverage by
up to 150% compared to generic client devices. This extended reach means the
elimination of dead spots at any location, offering fast and uninterrupted HD
streaming and smooth multiplayer gaming wherever you may be
Flexible extended antenna placement
The three detachable antennas of the PCE-AC68 can be placed remotely via bundled
extension cables. AÂ magnetized stand also comes in the box, which can easily
attach to various surfaces for more placement options. By making the antennas
mobile, the design offers more flexibility in choosing locations for better
signal reception and quality.
Stylish aluminum heatsink handles heat for extra
stability
The added heatsink uses highly-conductive aluminum to remove heat from the
chipset, ensuring greater reliability for non-stop operation. Lower temperatures
translate into a more stable device in all climate conditions, even during hot
summers, and greater stability means more consistent connectivity and longer
product lifespan. Plus, the heatsink has been crafted for a stylish look, once
more showing ASUS always goes beyond the spec.
