If you fancy a router that doesn’t look like it, Huawei may have the perfect gadget for you. The company is introducing the Huawei Router X3 Pro in China this November, and at first glance, you might mistake it for home decor instead of networking hardware.
The X3 Pro abandons the familiar slab-or-square design we’re used to seeing on traditional routers. Instead, it features a cylindrical body with a transparent upper section, housing a mountain-like structure that glows softly from within.
The asthetic gives it a feel of sunset-lit mountain, or snow covered peak. Either way, it looks more like a modern décor piece you’d place in a minimalist living room than something built to beam Wi-Fi across your home.
Huawei’s promo images show the internal light in both red and white, but we are not sure whether it has customizable lighting or the router will be sold in separate color variants.
Also you can see in the images, Huawei is pairing the main unit with a smaller companion device with same asthetics. It’s a range extender, which means the Router X3 Pro will support wireless mesh networking, allowing users to extend their Wi-Fi coverage without additional cabling.
While Huawei hasn’t released the full technical specifications yet, it’s safe toe expect that the Router X3 Pro will support the Wi-Fi 7 protocol and integrate a NearLink gateway.
The device could also work as a central hub for Huawei’s smart home ecosystem to control connected devices throughout the house and enable seamless multi-device collaboration.
