TalkTalk has announced a new Wi-Fi hub that will supposedly
offer you twice the speed of its existing Super Router. Called TalkTalk Wi-Fi
Hub, it is billed as using "next generation Wi-Fi technology",
including the latest 4x4 Multi-User MIMO ac chipset, which will allow you to
connect up to 50 devices at the same time without compromising connectivity,
TalkTalk claimed. It also offers wired connections, in the form of four Gigabit
Ethernet ports. These are meant to support speeds up to 10-times faster than
current routers.
TalkTalk has called it “our most sophisticated
router". The main appeal with this device is that can improve broadband
speed within your home. It offers dual-band wireless support and can prioritise
devices with high demands, for instance. But the best part is it's easy to
set up. You simply plug it in, switch it on, and that's it. This Wi-Fi Hub has
apparently been designed to sit “proudly at the heart of the home", too.
TalkTalk’s Wi-Fi Hub costs £ 120, but new broadband
subscribers who purchase the Faster Fibre Broadband plan will receive the new
Wi-Fi Hub free. Existing customers can upgrade to get the new hub for £ 30.
