ASRock Unveils Gaming G10 Router

[btarunr]

Remember that time when you had to perform a sort of sword dance ritual with your dysfunctional TV remote in order to make it work? To refresh your memory, it involved fanatical waving, twisting your arms into unfathomable yoga positions, and lots and lots of cursing. Those barbaric days of the dark past are almost over, pretty soon you can use ASRock Gaming's new router G10 to turn your smart phone into a universal remote controller.

ASRock Gaming's G10 is the combination of the internet of things and a powerful router. It learns the infrared signals of let's say your TV remote, and assigns it to your smart phone with the ASRock Router APP, which is soon arriving to both Google Play and App Store. Then you may use your smart phone to command your G10 router through WiFi or 3G/4G, and make it remotely control the TV through infrared signals. Power it up, flip through channels, crank up the volume without even bothering to point your phone towards the telly.



In addition, ASRock Gaming G10's sovereignty isn't limited to only televisions. As long as the device you wish to control is paired with an infrared signal remote control, such as game consoles, air conditioners, heaters or whatever, G10 will learn the signals in a snap and allow you to control them anywhere.

One of my friends owns a vegetable farm. I should tell him to sell "Gaming Broccoli," and drown in wealth.

1). Looks like Nvidia Sheild
2). Changed colour (the one shown in computex was red)
3). "Gaming" router
4). For Gaming only

2/10 Would not buy...

 

[GhostRyder]

Sounds interesting, looks pretty cool as well!

Is it just me, or does it look like someone took a hammer to a PS2 and then mounted the ASrock logo and a blue LED?

>Gaming Router press release
>no information about what makes it a "gaming" router

I predict next we will have a Gaming Blu-Ray/DVD drive and then we can have a Gaming Everything rig.

I really have no imagination for industrial design.....gaming router how it didn't occur to me, to expect it on the market. Should've known it after the pro-SLI-bridge, I guess.

This however, might have some sense to it. I will check it later.

Where's my Gaming Sata cables?

i use my samsung galaxy Tab 4 to do this...if You install the "watchon" application, it has You enter You ISP/TVSP , and Your TV brand/Model...and it works for channel /Volume REALLY well, plus it can just sit in the notification bar in minimized mode(with just VOL + Chan buttons)...so You dont need it onscreen always..

 

[ensabrenoir]

....you guys are silly. My Asrock couch over clocks my spine and gives me a 10% increase in my reflexes, resulting in faster response times and greater in game performance. Thank you asrock! Its a gamer's world!!!!

Seriously though......were gonna need a massive increase in common sense and wifi security with all this internet of things.

i wonder is Asrock knows

..seriously tho.. i hadn't realized it was a Router... I was like WTF is this thing??!! a glorafied remote? NOW it makes a LITTLE more sense. With the Word "Gaming" in the Title...Honestly I thought this was another Noob All in one PC for begginers

 

[Deleted member 138597]

Hey, I just installed my gaming OS today. Seems more like windows 7 btw...

 

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

Smart remote for your smartphone/tablet to control your tv and change channels and there is a fucking button on the xbox controller that turns it on and off. That feature set of the router is worthless and unnecessary. This product is a waste of money.

The CES coverage was wayyyyyy better than this PR. I generally avoid "gaming" anything, and most AsRock products, but this router looks awesome.

If I purchase this with a killer nic, would I be 10x better in League?

So, a gaming router is a device that can open or close a TV.
GOT THAT!
So, I guess that means that a remore control is a device where you play games.

 

[remixedcat]

I wanna review this.

Submitted an inquiry hope I hear back!

Actually if we see, we play games, we don't game games. Sooo, AWAY WITH G10!
