CES 2012: ASUS Reveals EA-N66 Ethernet to Wi-Fi Bridge

There are few Ethernet to Wi-Fi bridges out there, but ASUS wants its EA-N66 to be noteworthy for more than just that one reason.

What the company did was give it a very special look, one that will make owners want to put it on display instead of hiding.

For those who want the specs, it supports dual band 450Mbps 802.11n Wi-Fi.

Owners can select between 2.4GHz and 5GHz transmission modes, while the orthogonal antenna design optimizes signal coverage.

Thus, the EA-N66 behaves as a 3-in-1 home networking solution, working as either an Ethernet adapter, a Wi-Fi repeater (extends Wi-Fi network range) or in access point mode (for when users have a web connection that doesn't need a router).

Unfortunately, the company did not say how much this thing would cost or when sales might begin.
