The world’s first 2 Wireless WiFi Routers supporting USB 3.0 started shipping recently fro Netgear and D-Link.

The Netgear Centria (WNDR4700/4720) and the D-Link HD Media Rounter (DIR-857) support the WiFi-AC standard which promises data rates of 450 Megabits per second and faster.   This is much faster than the maximum effective throughput of USB 2.0 which is 320 Megabits per second.  See a comparison of data rates in tomorrow’s blog.

WiFi-AC is based on the IEEE 802.11ac
