Amped Wireless Debuts High Power AC1750 Wi-Fi Router with a 4-Inch Touch Screen
Amped Wireless, the leading manufacturer of high power, long range wireless solutions for the home and office, is shipping the next model in its TAP Series of Touch Screen Wi-Fi devices, the TAP-R3. The TAP-R3 is the first of its kind, a High Power Touch Screen AC1750 Wi-Fi Router. Designed to deliver whole-home Wi-Fi coverage, coupled with an incredibly fast and simple setup process that requires nothing but a few taps of your finger to complete. This addition to the Amped Wireless TAP series will transform the average consumers experience with Wi-Fi and the typical network setup process.
The TAP-R3 is effortlessly sleek and doesn't take up much space, but it can outperform some of the biggest Routers on the market and is built with an incredibly simple setup process. With its high power components, the TAP-R3 can send a Wi-Fi signal to areas like upstairs rooms, out to the yard, or to the far den. Equipped with a total of 12 high power amplifiers and three high gain antennas (external and internal), the TAP-R3 delivers up to 800mW of Wi-Fi output power. More output power means more Wi-Fi coverage as it allows a signal to push through walls and eliminate Wi-Fi dead spots. The TAP-R3 is also built with a fast Qualcomm Processor, enabling the most reliable connections. By fine tuning this advanced technology, the TAP-R3 can supply a home with more coverage than standard Routers and all with a few taps on the screen."Many homes and offices are settling for clunky, poor performing and slow Wi-Fi networks simply because they don't want to wrestle with updating it," stated Lacey Limbrick, Brand/Marketing Manager at Amped Wireless. "Our High Power Touch Screen line has changed the networking setup experience. Our customers can now upgrade their network with whole-home AC1750 Wi-Fi, frustration free, and in just a few minutes. The touch screen setup avoids headaches as it makes installation incredibly simple. Wi-Fi is an everyday necessity in today's household, it shouldn't take an engineer to install it."
The Router's setup is done entirely on the touch screen display. After powering on the Router, the user taps to begin the easy to follow Setup Wizard. The TAP-R3 automatically detects your Internet settings, the user gives the Wi-Fi networks names and passwords, and setup is complete. No laptops or other devices are needed. The touch screen also allows for quick access to many features of the Router including the setup and management of Guest Networks, the Wi-Fi Access Schedule, User Access Controls, the strength of the Wi-Fi signal in Signal Coverage Controls and many other settings.
This Router is designed for the minimalist household. Though the TAP-R3 can sit upright without stealing much cabinet or counter space, it can also be mounted onto any wall for an even less intrusive installation. Get rid of your switches and extra cable mess with the 4 Gigabit wired ports and USB sharing port. The TAP-R3 can be your hub for all of your network devices and storage drivers. With the USB port you can share files both locally and remotely. And you can set and forget the Router or turn on Clock Mode for a modern digital clock display, making it even more functional and appealing in any office or room.
The TAP-R3 is priced at $199.99 and is shipping to customers next week. It is available online at ampedwireless.com and will be available at most major brick and mortar retailers and online retailers, in the weeks to follow.

This does look like would save a lot of hassle setting up though.
If this thing is any good, I might get one this fall. I like easy, especially when it involves WiFi!! $200 bucks for an AC Router...? That's not bad, right?
:confused:
There are older models with these displays which could save you a bunch if any good.
@remixedcat is the person your after, kinda surprised that there is no comment yet :p.
Would i try another ?, well yes as shit happens and the support was not all that bad so.
Outside of the screen, it's a pretty bottom shelf router. 1 x antenna, so obviously no 3x3. Looks like 5.0 is a single external antenna, and 2.4 are internal. Range should be in the low/middle of the pack. It's 1750ac, so your AC clients will be limited to 876mbps.
Nothing special really to see here, just a low/mid tier basic wifi router with a touch screen slapped onto it. Will sit real nice right next to your parents' big key land line phone at home. Maybe the big key TV remote too :) and their life alert.
They will drop the product quick and not support it, neither will they support alt firmware.
Like Asrock my RTA15 had a ton of issues outside of very basic router functions and they want me to pay 20 bucks to ship it and wait approx 4-6 weeks to get a replacement. I can't afford that much to ship that since I have to save every spare dollar to fix my house.
The mac filtering doesn't work, VLANs won't work, and I have complete cut outs at more then 10 devices. The company censors forum posts and has "mod approval" and they do not let any rta15 posts thru.
I have people constantly ask me for help with thier stuff and I've gotten so completly tired of it, I explained that to amped and they don't listen to me, ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST SUPPORTERS!
I told them issues and stuff very professionally and even provided advice that would cost most companies 6 figures and they ignored me.
This is NOT company you want to deal with unless they come clean with me, and other rta15 owners and come up with a plan to upgrade us or give us our money back or whatever.
I know they switched from realtek based chips to qualcom atheros but it seems to be the same crap different chipsets. thier new stuff isn't doing too well and they've allready derped hard on them. the speed tests that small net builder published are lackluster and thier routers really don't stand out from the likes of netgear nighthawk, asus acxxxx routers, linksys, etc...anymore.
I still and stunned how they negelcted a huge supporter like me, ignored me, and didn't explain anything to me, or even try to change my mind. If one of their reps happens to see this please make it right with me and get it together and help me and others out with rta15 drama or aca1 issues. specially a supporter like me that was pretty gutted with the lackluster responses and being ignored. That was a dick move and I hope you apologize for it.
A better solution tends to be simple having more, smaller range wifi extenders/routers.
