This router looks like it’s invading earth

You could just paste this router somewhere in the Imperial Army’s space fleet in the latest Star Wars movie and no one would know the difference. It’s absolutely wicked looking and will probably scare malware away with its cold and calculating design. Named the King-kong Router (I’m not sure why), this concept has 8 antennas that fold underneath the router, making it look like an 8-legged alien creature that you just don’t want to mess with. Flip it over to take a look at the triangular vents through which this beast breathes, and look at its front to find six steely blue/red eyes looking at you as you browse the internet… searching for ways to defeat aliens that attack you in your sleep.
