Technology firm ASUS has this week become one of the first major manufacturers to officially release a G.fast<\/a> integrated wireless broadband router (DSLAC88U), which also offers integrated ADSL<\/a>\/VDSL2<\/a>, WiFi<\/a> speeds of up to 3167Mbps and will cost you a small fortune.<\/p>\n

As most people know Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) are currently rolling out their ‘up to’ 330Mbps<\/strong> capable G.fast<\/a> (ITU G.9700\/9701) broadband technology to a pilot of 138,000 UK premises by the end of March 2017, before expanding to 10 million premises by 2020 (details<\/a>). Initially this will revolve around a two box solution where the end user is supplied with a G.fast<\/a> modem (Huawei MT992<\/strong>) that can be plugged into a separate wireless router.<\/p>\n

However we eventually expect G.fast to be integrated into many more wireless routers just as the ADSL<\/a> and VDSL2<\/a> (FTTC<\/a>) technologies are today, although it may take time for the costs to come down enough before we see wider adoption. Not to mention that any such routers would also have be validated via BT<\/a>’s tricky testing regime before ISPs can use them.<\/p>\n

In the meantime a number of router manufacturers are working to build G.fast equipped routers, with AVM’s FRITZ!Box 7582<\/strong> due in mid-2017 and Billion also known to be working on something similar. Never the less ASUS has now confirmed that their previously unveiled DSL-AC88U<\/a><\/strong> will be one of the first to market when it launches in the UK during the “first week<\/em>” of March 2017<\/strong> for an SRP of \u00a3219.99<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The router appears to support pretty much everything you could want at that price and it uses a seemingly strong Broadcom modem, although we’d caution against buying one until somebody has had a chance to test it on a real G.fast line in the United Kingdom. The first run of any new technology can often be imperfect or may miss some vital features. It’s also not exactly the smallest piece of kit.<\/p>\n
