Setting up a home wi-fi system can take about 15 minutes but Huawei's says that it's new router will planquate you're whole home in wi-fi and as few as two minutes.
We check out the proto type at CES 2018 in Las Vegas.
And while we didn't get a chance to test the claim in person, we can tell you that the system consists of a base unit, about the size of an Amazon Echo, plus these smaller satellite units that you plug into just a regular wall outlet.
These smaller units are basically repeaters that help link up wi-fi in areas that are too far from the base unit to reach.
WiFi will default to the faster 5 gigahertz network speed.
Not the slower 2.4 gigahertz speed that you sometimes see.
The system will also support up to 16 hotspots.
[UNKNOWN] Says that a single base unit and satellite will handle wi-fi for about three to four rooms.
One base and two satellites will cover four to five rooms and a three pack of just that base router and no satellites will sort out a five to seven room house.
The routers will make their debut in homes globally this coming April with the US as one of the first launch markets.
