WiFi routers are one of those things that you know you need to have in your house (well, if you want to be connected of course) but don’t really think about. As long as it’s working and providing me with connectivity for work or for leisure, then I don’t really care about the other functionalities or even the design. Once it stops working though, that’s when I start paying attention to it.

This concept for a WiFi router ensures that you will pay attention to it, whether or not it’s working properly. TRACK WiFi Router, aside from giving you a connection to the internet, ensures that you stay connected wherever you are in the room. It is designed to give you the most stable network signal possible (of course still depending on the strength or weakness of your ISP).
The way it works is that there’s an antenna on top of your device that will automatically adjust its direction and help you gain more function. This means that it will “follow” you around the space, or rather the device that is connected to the router. Think of it like those satellite dishes whose head moves around. The look of the device is a bit similar except that the antenna is elongated rather than round.
Of course this is still a concept so for now we don’t have a way of seeing if it actually works. I wonder though how the antenna will react if there are multiple devices all over the room, which is something a lot of us have now.
