All the antennas are on the inside.
RazerFor its first router, Razer's Sila goes all out with the latest technologies: tri-band (2x5GHz, 1x2.4GHz), dynamic dynamic channel hopping for the best throughput and into the DFS range (those empty channels you wonder why you can't get to), multiuser MIMO, support for meshing with a another Sila and customizable network prioritization. All with nine antennas snuggled up inside the lifestyle gaming company's trademark matte-black box. It's available now for $250 (£280, AU$440).
It includes a mobile app for setup and management, which is a real convenience.
Only one of the two USB ports supports USB 3, kind of a bummer if you want to attach multiple storage devices.
RazerRazer partnered with Ignition Design Labs for the Sila; many manufacturers partner with companies with strengths in delivering fast networking, usually for software and optimizations in gaming routers. For instance, Netgear has NetDuma, Linksys has Killer and Asus works with WTFast.
The router's also mesh-ready. Put it together with more Silas and it creates a mesh network with a range of up to 6,000 square feet (about 557 square meters).
