The structure of the router went relatively quickly and easily by hand. After opening the package, I noticed first that the router was not as big as expected. Nevertheless, it must be said that he is extremely large fails mainly by its four beefy antennas, and yet definitely not as compact as models of competition.
After screwing the antenna and connecting to the network, you already could start configuring the router. Here, the configuration designed relatively simple and went so fast out of hand. One reason for this is certainly the excellent user interface of the Asus device for which Asus is known. So it is easy for beginners, Best possible to configure the router.
But what you should consider before buying that the router is not a built-in modem has. For me, however, this is not relevant because it is switched behind another device.
After you have now set up the router and a network connection has established, you can start already. Due to some negative Amazon reviews, I was skeptical at first whether he would deliver the promised performance. A detailed test with 2 smartphones, 4 laptops, two desktop PCs, a Chromecast stick and an Internet Radio, however, have shown that it is perfect for a household in which many, especially different devices to be connected to the network. In particular, the dual-band feature allows here that even old devices that do not support the 5 GHz band standard can be powered using a 2.4 GHz band. The Wi-Fi connection, always remained stable at the test with various devices and was as fast as never before. From disconnections or the like also I noticed nothing.
Even with 4 simultaneous video streams in full HD, it was still possible to surf to other devices in a very good performance. This created not our old router.
Through the IEEE 802.11ac standard, it is also possible to experience the full power of modern wireless devices. The USB port also allows that network drives and printers can be easily integrated into the network.
Conclusion:
Thanks to the fast data throughput, dual-band and all the comfort features surfing was with us and he WG never been better. The still relatively steep price has us definitely worth it.
