ASUS Router Wifiup To Mbps For Streaming8 Quadcore Processor Gaming Port Whole Home Mesh System Earplug, 10 cm, Black

OK, first up I bought this from Hot Deals 4Less, what isn't clear when I purchased it from the seller was that they were based in the US. Shipping took longer than I'd have liked to the UK but the package did turn up duty paid at least.The issue from this seller if you're based in the UK is that the router is a US SKU and only comes with an American power supply. There are no UK or Euro adaptors included ( or indeed mentioned by the seller). The power supply itself is multi-voltage and I happened to have the necessary US to UK adaptor lying around so wasn't a major issue for me but others need to be aware if using this seller.I bought this router to work with my BT Infinity 2 package to replace a BT Homehub 4. Luckily it's just a case of plugging the OpenReach modem into the routers WAN port and looging in the the BT credentials. For me they were bthomehub@btbroadband.com with a password of BT.Range is much improved over the Homehub on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands I've been able to remove a second wireless ap that I was using to fill in some poor reception areas in the house.Throughput on 2.4ghz is a match for the homehub but slightly down on the 5ghz band tested using my Oneplus One in the same location. It's not clear to me why this would be the case but this router does utilise two 5ghz networks so I suspect it will be much better at sustaining any rate as the number of clients increases versus the homehub.It is rather large and somewhat imposing to look at, mine is in a study but I can imagine it looking somewhat out of place in a living room for example.The set up is very simple and the gui is probably the best I've ever used in a router. I've had some issues with disconnects but overcame these by not using the smartconnect option for wireless and removing wpa key recycling option. Others have reported the same elsewhere with the same fix, I'm sure a later firmware update may see this fixed but I'm happy seeing separate networks anyway.There are a complete myriad of options available from network attached storage to using 4g modem as a failover, it's all the router you'll ever need I'm sure.

Fast delivery, was worried when I found out it ships from USA(after I purchased) but it arrived within a few days via FedEx with no duty or VAT to pay (rightly so) set it up last night, excellent traffic monitoring and wifi range, using as my main router with 1 RT-AC68U & 1 RT-AC66U as access points upstairs and in garden, running gigabit switch with about 15 clients all DHCP ETC NAS working great. Asus are the best!Getting 156-160mbps internet download speeds across all devices as well as gigabit transfer speeds across whole home network (wired) 802.11AC link speed shows as 1300mbps but in reality it does not transfer at that speed.

far too expensive for a consumer product, toy for enterprise money
