Review on Wi-Fi adapter ASUS PCE-AC68, red by Bambang Hayudi ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It functions perfectly, nothing unusual.

Worked on Windows 7, now on Windows 10 I bought in 2022, in a 2022 box. The region should be normal, the channels should also be open. With the inherent software limitations, the piece of iron is not worth buying. The lower 5GHz channels are now occupied by all sorts of MGTSs, in the rest the device does not work. Conclusion: The price of the device is 1000, not 5000.

Pros
  • In the 2.4GHz band, it works well and is stable if it is clean. But where it is clean, there is no need to overpay for 5GHz.
Cons
  • At 5GHz, it only accepts in the lowest range, around channel 42. It does not take channels above, although in 2022 everything is allowed from 32 to 68 and from 132-165. The problem is firewood and software blocking due to the region. On the Internet, many people suffer with this device precisely because of regional restrictions. Mostly Europeans suffer, but they have much fewer allowed channels, and ASUS left them only the lower range. For what to suffer the 2022s do not understand. With the help of left unsigned drivers, people manage to make ASUS PCE-AC68 work in all ranges, but installing left unsigned drivers is a dubious decision.
