Western Digital reveals additions to the My Net router family-- the My Net AC1300 HD Dual-Band Router and the companion AC Bridge, both with 802.11ac wireless technology.

WD AC 1300The company claims the two devices are ideal for high-bandwidth entertainment services, thanks to FasTrack technology prioritising streaming performance.

The AC1300 uses 802.11n wireless on the 2.4GHz and 802.11ac on the 5GHz band. Both bands work simultaneously, with a "unique" horizontal 3x3 antenna array supposedly boosting throughput and signal quality.

Meanwhile the AC Bridge allows customers to convert up to 4 devices (such as TVs, consoles or Blu-ray players) from wired-ethernet to wireless, reducing the amount of cabling needed to connect devices to the internet.
