For years I had chosen as my Linksys preferred network product manufacturers. Also because of it. For most products offered DD-WRT firmware Unfortunately, Linksys has become poor update policies and also the hardware is no longer on Cisco level.
I find the attitude really difficult when Asus, because I see it all a bit too playful. The startup settings are simple, but the detail settings are not quite so simple.
For a Network layman it may be useful when he sees a couple of graphics, however, need for someone of facts or data, which is nothing ...
While there is a kind of overview or a Systemprotokol, but that's pretty rudimentary.
Let's talk about the facts:
I have the network in WiFi (5GHz), which is a data throughput of about 12MB / s from NAS to notebook (Intel Advanced-N 6205) a little faster than my old Linksys WRT320N.
Alas, only a bit ...
I Per WiredLAN 25MB / s, which is very good and even 1-2MB / s more than the Linksys.
Let's talk about the built-in media server function ...
I would say well (well at a high level). In WLAN are 3-5MB / s and Wired are 10-12MB / s ...
I have "up to 300,000 data sessions" presented by these "Chip.de Place 1" seal and the gimmicks of due AI radar and more.
Sure, both routers play at a high level, and the Asus is n 'tick better, but an upgrade is not always useful.
In the network, the following devices are (to estimate the expense of Asus endures):
2x notebooks (2.4GHz - 5GHz)
1x Netbook (2.4 GHz)
1x WLAN MFC (2.4GHz)
3x smartphones (2.4GHz)
1x PC (Wired)
1x Xbox360 (wired)
1x KabelBW HDD recorder with VOD (wired)
1x DNS-320 NAS (wired)
And he do it well. As you notice probably the 500Mhz CPU and 128MB RAM
I have to conclude once again explicitly point out that I here although critically describe the router, but I will discourage anyone from buying, on the contrary, the Asus is worth the money and so far, the front-runner, and he is for or Heimanweder . someone who does not want to care much about his network, real-ideal, but for people who like to want to get out to get the most out of the router and therefore to adjust many parameters, which can here as I get into trouble.
Although I am not a professional what networks are concerned, but consider myself as an experienced user, but a bit more settings would be good.
Because I know so far not know if I have the network is set up and working on the performance limit, or if I have made mistakes.
The router gives me no Feedback. Incidentally, I use the latest FW 1.0.1.7c
If there is someone who reads this and think, I did something wrong, you want here please comment.
But people have the product-specific questions can comment like, maybe bring me one or the other on good ideas.
