Networking - ASUS & Aztech

Networking

With more and more content becoming available for digital delivery, and many services (especially gaming) requiring an 'always-on' connection, the speed of your network connection is more important than ever. In the past, we were limited to slow 14.4kbps dial-up modems, but with the advent of cable and and now with fiber optic broadband available in 95% of Singapore premises, more and more people have access to speeds of 200Mbps and above.

Of course, these technological advancements require equally proficient hardware in order to optimize their blazing fast speeds. As such, it is important that you pick the right router to suit your broadband capabilities. So if you've upgraded to fiber recently, be sure to get a high-speed router (and preferably NGNBN-certified) to match your network.
