TRENDnet 1300Mbps Wireless 802.11ac looks good for people who need to stream 1080P HD video from their PC to another PC or laptop wirelessly to watch, or local gaming on a home network. It is kind of disapointing that most people with Cable, DSL, etc won't be able to take advantage of these faster speeds.

I probably just stick to my 802.11G router until it breaks/burn-out from old age, and cheaper 802.11G and N gets discontinued because of better routers like this one.

TRENDnet displays from 2012 International CES in Las Vegas, Nevada, the next generation 1300 Mbps Dual Band Wireless AC Router, model TEW-811DR, and 1300 Mbps Dual Band Wireless AC Media Bridge, model TEW-800MB.

About Wireless 802.11ac Technology
The explosion of wireless devices in the home and office coupled with high demand for HD video-based content will continue to compound wireless network loading for years to come. 802.11ac is a new wireless standard designed to meet tomorrow's extreme wireless bandwidth networking needs.

The full 802.11ac specification can theoretically accommodate speeds as high as 6.8 Gbps; however the first generation of products will be rated at either 866 Mbps or 1.3 Gbps.

802.11ac uses the uncongested low interference wireless 5 GHz spectrum and is backward compatible with Dual Band 802.11n (wireless n) routers which also use the 5 GHz band. It is not compatible with standard single band wireless n devices which use the 2.4GHz band, such as most laptops and mobile devices.

802.11ac wireless coverage is similar to that of wireless n and provides whole home coverage. New Beam Forming technology further improves the ability to transmit wireless signals around physical obstacles such as masonry walls. The first generation 802.11ac devices will be released to market as early as late 2012.​
 
I'll have to bookmark this one, will be useful when I need to get new router.
