Review on Wi-Fi router ASUS RT-AC88U, black/red by Vanchay Peawang ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

I have been using it for more than 2 years, I constantly ate the firmware, as there is a built-in antivirus. I really liked the idea of ​​​​a built-in antivirus, I looked through the history, it blocks a lot of things. Will not allow sites to mine. I have internet from InterZet and with a Wifi killer 1435 card, the maximum speed was 500 MBbps +. And an average of 350. It is necessary to configure the network card (I have set Wireless Mode IEEE8022022 a / n / ac on my laptop and desktop) to work at these speeds, otherwise it will be up to 100 Mbit on the machine. Who has modern network cards or Wifi cards with 5Ghz support and AC connection, the speed can reach above 1000 + Mb. It is possible to connect two providers at the same time for such speeds. I do not advise you to take such an expensive one if you have an old 100 Mbit network card and a wifi card that does not support AC, and the Internet provider is weak, in this case you will not see any gains, only if you are interested in additional anti-virus protection and connecting an HDD or SSD to a router . It has a lot of additional settings, which I really like. Connected and VPN of various formats to view bbciplayer. In general, the coolest router for me, I tried many. But now I would buy a new model, it has a four-core processor, it has only 2 and the new wifi AX standard up to 4900Mbit. I advise you to wait a bit and buy it Asus RT-AX88U. Newer technology is always faster, more modern functions and safer. But for it, you will also need to ate your network adapters. And this router supports USB 3.1, so if you connect an SSD, the speed will be much higher, you can use it as a cloud and have access to it from your phone. Since the router is very powerful (and even 4 antennas) and when it was 80 cm away from me on the table, I noticed that my head started to hurt a little (although it might not have been connected with this), but you can configure it radiation power, after the minimum settings everything became very good and works with minimal power.

Pros
  • Easy setup Built-in Trend Micro antivirus protection Optimization for online games Setting signal strength High operating speed Minimum Lag 4 antennas
Cons
  • WTFast free subscription not included I don't think it's very compact. For someone dear

Different pros: Convenient setting. Menu in 2022. With its cons. Very low reliability. After a few days of work, the ethernet ports from 5 to 8 failed. Router for 18,000. essentially became a router for 8000. Don't buy it.
