Updated - Amped Wireless has announced its first AC1750 router and is soft-launching an AC1200.

The RTA1750 High Power AC1750 Wi-Fi Router is Amped Wireless' first 3x3 AC router. Like all Amped products, it has a plethora of receive and transmit amplifiers (12 in this case) and is said to deliver 800mW of transmit power.

Gigabit WAN (1) and switched LAN (4) ports provide network connection and a single USB 2.0 port supports storage sharing.

The RTA1750 can be pre-ordered from Amped now for $179.99, with shipments starting 12/19.

Although the RTA1750 is a welcome addition, Amped fanbois may be wondering where the RTA30 High Power AC1900 Wi-Fi router announced at January's CES has gone to. Amped says they are still in the product roadmap, but have no firm ship date.

While looking for the AC1900 products, we stumbled across the RTA1200 High Power AC1200 Wi-Fi Router.

The RTA1200 joins, or possibly replaces, Amped's other AC1200 router, the RTA15, which was launched mid-2013. It has two upgradable external dual-band antennas, Gigabit WAN (1) and switched LAN (4) ports and USB 2.0 port for storage sharing and, of course, eight amplifiers.

The RTA1200 has a $159.99 MSRP and it looks like the RTA15's previous $179.99 price has been lowered to match. The RTA1200 can be pre-ordered now, with shipments starting January 2, 2015.
