Correct. Its details and specifications are also still confidential, beyond what Asus announced back at CES 2014.

Asus ac2400/rt-ac87r First User Reports

Went to my local bestbuy and noticed this router on sale so I bought and let me say this it looks clean and now it's time to hook it up. It cost me 269.99 total around 300 dollars

Hm, did some overzealous manager put them on the shelf earlier than expected? The router hasn't even officially launched yet.

Got a photo of it?

after 5 hours up time router is still giving me 30 up 5 down. Web gui is acting slow sometimes un-responsive maybe due to the fact router hasn't been released yet

 

[IAAI]

When you get a chance to connect over telnet/ssh mind doing the following;

nvram get clkfreq

Should give us an indication of how they are clocking the CPU/RAM by default (Probably can view this in the tools page on the GUI if your unfamiliar with telnet/ssh)

He won't have any Tools page since Asus doesn't ship routers with my firmware, obviously

FW is newer than latest I have here - but then I suspect my contact is on vacation since he was supposed to send me some newer code last week.

That's what makes this release even more surprising, since only a week ago Asus were still working on finetuning the new QoS/Parental Control engine. And, as you noticed, the product page isn't even up on their website yet.

But those photos he posted are the real thing.

Router is fairly large, but doesn't feel excessively bulky (unlike the WRT1900AC, for example).
