Update 3/8/2023 9:50 am PT: TP-Link representatives responded to our queries, stating that this is not a TP-Link product. As such, it appears that the "TP-Link ASIC" router is a scam. We're investigating further. A company named "TP-Link ASIC" has announced an NX31 ASIC mining router that sports Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. According to the specs, this $1,440 router has a built-in ASIC that mines crypto faster than the RTX 4090 and pulls 1,200 Watts during full load. However, the well-known router maker TP-Link tells us that this is not their product and that they are working to get the press release removed. At best, "TP-Link ASIC" is an unaffiliated company, but it's more likely that this device is a scam — much like other crypto hardware scams we've seen in the past. We're working to dig up more information.The NX31 (NX31-B2MR) listing claims the device doubles as a Wi-Fi 7 router and ASIC miner. However, the product page lacks some technical details, and the image of the NX31 device corresponds to TP-Link's Archer BE900 Wi-Fi 7 router — even the filename confirms it. That doesn't make sense, though. Unless it was significantly larger, the company wouldn't be able to cram this much horsepower into a pirated design that mimics the router.According to the company's claims, the NX31 delivers a hash rate of up to 31.2 TH/s, much faster than a GeForce RTX 4090. Except that appears to be for an ASIC-friendly mining algorithm (Kadena / Blake2S), and no one in
