Artistic Wi-Fi Routers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Kinetic Wi-Fi Router Encourages Prominent Placement

— November 9, 2018 — Tech
Wi-fi routers generally all feature similar boxy designs, but the Kinetic Wi-fi router by JeonHwan Sohn showcases how art and technology can beautifully collide. Equipped with multiple swiveling antennae, the Kinetic Wi-fi router manages to visually display itself working in a way that is captivating and entertaining. The swiveling arms will only move when the router receives a connection and will completely stop when connection or direct power is lost. This feature is partly what makes the router so unique, as it provides a visual aid to showcase the functionality of the device.

The design of the router also encourages owners to place the device in full visibility as it resembles an elegant structure more than a basic piece of tech. Placement in more visible areas also ensures the router provides a stronger wi-fi signal as it isn't obstructed by walls or large pieces of furniture.
