because I wolllte definitely try the 5GHz mode times. The following conditions are present.
1. the Asus RT-N56U Dual-Band N600 Black Diamond serves as a router (EU Version)
2. A current PC with Windows 7 in 64bit.
3. The USB-N53 Dual-Band Wireless-N
4. A 56qm2 normal large apartment
So quite perfect conditions I would want to argue :-)
The router from Asus has 1.0.1.8e following the time of testing firmware version. The driver for the Asus N53 USB WLAN stick I have drawn directly from the Asus site to prevent outdated drivers from the supplied CD.
The drivers must be installed before the Asus Stick infects, otherwise the Asus stick of Windows does not recognize, or even remain off first.
In order to successfully perform the test, it is absolutely essential in the router's SSID name (that's the name of your intuitive router) to assign different. The meaning of the name should not be the same as in 5GHz mode in 2.4GHz mode.
Brief digression for laymen. Usually it has been so that all Wlanrouter always had only one name or designation. If you have searched for its routers via wifi, only one name was always displayed. With dual-band Wlanroutern there are two names, although one has only one device. Why is that? The explanation is pretty simple. All dual Wlangeräte always have two antennas, but cover different frequencies. In this case, once the 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Are you now two frequencies have the same name one does not know whether one is logged in the 2.4GHz or 5GHz mode. Therefore absolutely different names for both modes awarded ;-)
In addition, I would suggest to let in 5GHz mode only Wlangeräte with N. That is because. All devices that support the 5GHz mode dominate 300Mbit or more. No 5GHz WLAN stick will support slower Geschindigkeiten such as b or g. Therefore, the router equal to best instruct only current N standard in 5GHz mode to accept.
Installation:
As I said once the drivers are installed, Windows will automatically detect the Asus N53 USB and can start right now.
For all lay an important clue. When you insert the CD and press on the first point to install the driver, you are asked in English if you want to install Driver and Utilities or ONLY DRIVERS. For laymen I absolutely recommend to select the option ONLY DRIVERS. That is because. In Utilities additional software is installed, which should help you set up its WLAN router. That would be okay if the thing would require no expert knowledge. After all, unlike on Windows itself, where you just click only on the router and typing the password and is already connected, you will be asked for the software from Asus also equal to the carrier wave, the bit rate, the encryption etc.. Once you because what chooses wrong, to get even not more in its routers. For technology Inspire provides this as not an obstacle, but for all who like it simple, you do yourselves a favor to let the utility software right away
WLAN operation:
2.4GHz mode:
Here was the same on the first enthusiasm. So the 2.4GHz runs flawlessly. Full signal quality and full support 300Mbit.
5GHz mode:
Good to befriedingende transmission power. Schwangt between 216, 243 or even 300Mbit times. This is very strange. How can it be that at the same distance as the 2.4GHz mode provides full power while the 5GHz this can not bewerktstelligen. Since both the router and the Wlanstick of Asus and the Wlanstick even advertises an ideal support for the Asus RT-N56U Router N600, I have to find an amazing way that the conditions are far from ideal.
To rescue the 5GHz mode I must concede, however, that the connection is very stable despite only befriedingender transmit power or no discontinuations has. Nevertheless, this is very surprising, because it has introduced the 5GHz mode. On the grounds, first, that he is less susceptible to interference and secondly by also less gets in the way with other routers, as they do not occupy the same channel Throughout the house, I am even the first to use the 5GHz mode, so no other router might bother!
Conclusion:
So I forgive 4 stars and justifying this as follows:
Positives:
+ Easy installation (if you omit the Utility Software, see above)
+ Excellent support 2.4GHz
+ Stablie transmit power and no crashes
+ Asus are inherently 3-year warranty for this Wlanstick
Negatives:
- 5GHz only befriedingende transmission power, even if it is stable
- Too high a price (35,89 time of purchase)
- With supplied software can only be understood of Technology Inspire
Since the 2.4 GHz mode so has good values, I had mercy to 4 stars. Although my old Wlanstick of TP the TL-WN821N is cheaper and still has a longer range. The only thing that is still outstanding is the long-term test!
I hope I could help with my description next :-)
