The newcomer can transmit data at up to 600 Megabits per second

ASUS has announced a new wireless router, one that has two processors and support for just as many wireless bands.

The 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz bands are both supported, and three antennas can transfer data at 300 Mbps on each.

That leads to 600 Mbps total, which is none too shabby.

In other words, it is more than fast enough for power users, gamers and people who frequently stream HD video (DLNA compatibility is assured).

Furthermore, as a bonus, ASUS tossed in a pair of USB ports, letting the router act as a media, printer and file server.

Finally, in April, a firmware upgrade will add multiple SSIDs, IPv6, 3G sharing, and the Download Master web-based interface to the spec list.

Unfortunately, the formal press release had no information as to where or when the DSL-N55U will start selling, nor on the price.
