Review on Wireless Router ASUS WL-520GU by Hwang Jiya ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The item was good, I'll recommend it to my friends.

In general, the purchase is satisfied. In general, an ordinary household router for housewives, no more, no less. But I think this miracle could cost less, around 800. Yes, and USB ports could do 2 and not 1. Of course, time will tell and reveal shortcomings, but so far everything is pleasant and satisfied. But it's so nitpicking. As I said during the setup, I didn’t immediately understand, but if you configure it through the WEB interface, then it’s better through Internet Explorer, tk. in the case of Opera, there were more than noticeable freezes and pauses in the display and application of settings.

Pros
  • 1) The price / quality / functionality ratio is optimal. Bought yesterday for 1050. 2) Simplicity and convenience in setup. Setup took no more than 8 minutes. 3) 2022 interface, everything is simply intuitive, there is an assistant and quick setup utilities. True, I did not use them, but I registered all the settings through the WEB interface. 4) Fairly fast with good throughput. Through my provider "flies".
Cons
  • 1) Total 1 USB port. 2) There is no On / Off button. Not critical, but removing the PSU from the network is not always convenient. 3) No VPN server, i. E. only as a client, and then I didn’t dig. my ISP assigns an IP and releases it to the Internet by MAC address. 4) There are problems when working with the WEB-interface through alternative browsers, so to speak. Those. if this is not Internet Explorer, but let's say Opera 12.02, then the pages are loaded for a very long time and the settings are not always saved. With IE, in my case 6.0 everything worked fine.
