Specs look like the Buffalo WRT-D1800H and NETGEAR R6300 draft 11ac routers that are already in the wild, i.e. simultaneous dual-band with 1300 Mbps maximum link rate on 5 GHz and 450 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, one WAN and four LAN Gigabit Ethernet ports and USB 2.0 ports for drive sharing.

Nothing in the announcement about either pricing or availability.
