Review on Wireless Router ASUS WL-520GU by Minoru Taguchi ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

Installed in Zhulebino, Hong Kong. 17-storey building. Provider AKADO, tariff - "AKADO - 8000" Speed ​​of direct/reverse channels, kbps - 8000/1000. Before buying, it did not work with networks, only general vague information that it should work. A couple of days of poking and it works. WAN - "Measured uplink speed: 10080 Kb/s" if that really means anything to anyone. Firmware - 3.1.0.9 (ASUS) reflashed, the router hung up via the WEB-interface, after flashing with the native software utility, everything became fine. On the second desktop computer, I installed the ASUS WL-167G adapter. After 10-12m and 2 concrete walls, the signal level is 60-80%, the quality is 60-100% (excellent), the HP-5943 inkjet printer installed without problems, both computers print. 1.5GB file was rewritten from one to another in ~15 min. or a little less. The Internet does not slow down, torrent works at the same time - input and / or output traffic up to 630 kb / s, well, at a maximum speed of ~ 1 sec, there is a pause. WiFi speed 56-48 (rarely 36) kb / s. DELL-530 service laptop shows 10-20% less signal level and quality. I played a little with the location of the router and adapter. Skype (video and audio) on the second computer via WiFi works fine. for 3 weeks never hung up. At the moment it works stably. "Everything that the Bolsheviks have been saying for so long has happened." and "the ruins of the Reichstag - satisfied" (quotes). What he wanted, he got. Satisfied.

Pros
  • Assembled neatly, pleasing to the eye. Doesn't heat up. Without understanding anything, I set it up. Paired with ASUS WL-167G 10-12m + 2 concrete walls for about a month of work - no problem.
Cons
  • There was and is nothing else.
