On July 9, Belkin announced that as a new product of its brands "Linksys" and "Belkin", the game Wi-Fi router "MAX-STREAM AC3000MR9000X three-band Wi-Fi5 screen Game Router" (hereinafter referred to as "MR9000X") and the docking station "Thunderbolt3Dock Core" will be sold in China.
"MR9000X" is a game Wi-Fi router that supports a mesh network that appears from Linksys. The date of sale is July 22, and the estimated price is 20,1980 yen excluding tax.
Linksys has previously launched the "Velop" series of mesh Wi-Fi routers, and this release of MR9000X is a mode that focuses on comfortable playing online games, such as low ping values and wired connections.
It is a three-band Wi-Fi router that supports Wi-Fi 5 (AC3000) and can communicate at a speed of 5 GHz:1733 Mbps+867 Mbps and 2.4 GHz:400 Mbps (theoretical value). In order to improve the internal processing performance, a quad-core CPU is installed.
Through the priority connection setting of the game device, the communication in the game can be stabilized even in the environment of connecting multiple devices, and so is the unique function of the game model. There is also a 6-month free voucher for the software "WTFast", which can reduce the average ping value. WTFast also supports popular games such as "Fortnite" in Japan.
In addition, through MU-MIMO (multi-user multiple input / other outputs), stable communication can be provided even when multiple terminals are connected, and the radio wave intensity in a particular direction can be correspondingly increased by beamforming. 4 × 4 antennas can be effectively connected to more devices.

In addition, the Velop series Wi-Fi router deployed by Linksys is a full-product mesh network compatibility mode, and the mesh network can be built by combining the released MR9000X and the existing mode through "Intelligent Mesh" technology.
Communication occurs between the Wi-Fi router of the master unit and the slave unit, and only where the master unit cannot reach the radio waves, stable communication can be provided if the slave unit is close. For example, you can set up a master machine on the first floor of your home and a sub-machine on the second floor, so that people who own the previous Velop series can use them to build a mesh network.
Equipped with 4 LAN ports for wired connections. It is also equipped with a USB3.0 port, so it can also connect storage devices such as HDD and USB memory. Other specifications are as follows:
Due to the change in the specifications released by the manufacturer, some changes have been made to the content of the report. (15 July 2020)
"Thunderbolt 3 Dock Core", easy to carry without AC adapter
Belkin has announced the domestic release of "Thunderbolt3Dock Core", which can be added to various ports by connecting to the Thunderbolt3 terminal. It is expected to go on sale after August, but the price is uncertain.
Traditionally, the docking station "Thunderbolt3Dock Pro" sold by the company is powered by AC adapters, while the new product Thunderbolt3Dock Core can be powered from connected PC, etc., so it can be used without a connection to the AC adapter. It is said that it is more compact and more portable than traditional products. In addition, it also corresponds to the power supply using USB Power Delivery.
In addition to a variety of USB terminals, the port can also output video through DisplayPort and HDMI, up to 8K. Because Gigabit Ethernet support is also provided, a stable network connection can be achieved even in laptops such as laptops without wired LAN terminals.
In addition, various conversion adapters-products will be launched from July 22. Please see the following image online. Ethernet adapters will also be introduced, and wired LAN connections can be made through lightning terminals.
