The ASUS Blue Cave AC2600 proves that you can have style and substance in one package. It bucks the trend of alien-like monsters bristling with antennas in its physical design, yet doesn't seem to have taken any hit in performance or features as a result.

The Blue Cave is up there with the best for WiFi speed whether over 802.11ac or 802.11n up to a healthy range. It should be able to cover a medium-sized house without the need for mesh WiFi.

But if you want more detailed control over how your WiFi and networking behaves, there are no compromises in this department either. The administration interface is stocked to the brim with features, although the design of this might be a little frightening for the novice or even the average user.

The £190 price isn't even that expensive. If you're looking for a router that delivers performance and features in a more stylish package than the average functional black box, the ASUS Blue Cave AC2600 should be top of your list.

You can buy one from Overclockers UK for £189.95 HERE.

Pros:

• Stylish blue-lit design.
• Excellent performance and range with 802.11ac and 802.11n.
• Quad-port Ethernet switch.
• USB 3.0 for storage, printer and mobile broadband sharing.
• Feature-rich administration features.
• Reasonably priced.

Cons:

• Admin interface will be complicated even for mid-range users.
• The blue cave design might be a portal to another dimension.

KitGuru says: The ASUS Blue Cave AC2600 bucks the router design trend, but without compromise on performance or features, making it a win-win choice for the appearance conscious.
