I tried out Asus's first quad-band Wi-Fi 8 gaming router, ahead of the final certification of the latest Wi-Fi standard. The router is based on the latest draft spec of Wi-Fi 8, so it will be updated as the standard approaches final certification. The only way I could test the benefits of Wi-Fi 8 was to connect together two of these bad boys.
