Pros
- fast set-up
Cons
- poor 5G service!
Pros
- The cost, the availability of the 5 GHz spectrum and the 8022022ac standard, the simplicity of the first setup, the variety of smartphone applications, and the USB port all factor into the decision.
Cons
- does not support 3G/4G modems
Pros
- Gains in technology (as perceived by a layman using a 55 Mbps "teapot"). My PC's page loads were substantially quicker when I upgraded my router from an older ZyXEL GIGA II to a new ASUS RT-AC1200 and kept it permanently connected to the router via an Ethernet wire. It has been a week since I started using the router (with the most recent factory firmware, version 3.0.0.4.380_10574), and I haven't had any freezing. First of all, it starts up promptly after being turned on (I do turn it off occasionally to sleep). In 2022, the router's WEB-interface is both efficient and easy to use (some users were concerned that they would need to get acclimated to the interface). As soon as I received the RT-AC1200, I dove into setting up the MAC address filtering that I use frequently. Compared to its predecessor, the RT-AC1200's setup process is much more streamlined and fits on a single page. Help for families. After lost an antenna during a previous relocation, I can attest to the usefulness of permanently attaching the antennae. Both the device and its power supply unit (PSU) remain cool throughout use. The lack of elaborate ribbed embellishments on the cover allows me to clean it with the same napkin I use to wipe the screen clean of dust.
Cons
- Issues: (1) I would like to be able to adjust the signal strength in the "2" range, but I cannot do so through the router's control interface. If my family's cellphones and tablets can operate reliably and at 25% power in the "2" range (as they were set up in my previous Zukhel), I see no need to siphon on the entire city of Hong Kong. Two drywall walls, one or two antennas, and my Huawei smartphone still maintain a connection for much longer in the "5" range. Third, on Zukhel, the WiFi on/off button is conveniently situated on the top of the casing, so my hand naturally went there at first, but that feeling has since worn off. The WPS button is positioned on the rear of ASUS routers and is quite small (part of the company's "you can't find it itching" series). Fourth, this model's USB port might have the more modern number of 3.
Pros
- Speed👍🏻 The aesthetics of Asus products have always been years ahead of those of many other manufacturers.
Cons
- not located just yet
Pros
- both ranges. 5–10 connections active at once are not a stress for him. Padavan firmware can be updated
Cons
- Market pricing, although it might be less expensive
Pros
- Works sometimes
Cons
- Completely unreliable, and the restart takes a long time. It is possible that only a hard reboot would resolve the issue. An "invalid account" error despite the account having been validated for a long time.
Pros
- Asus ensures a constant online experience.
Cons
- WiFi.
Pros
- Consistent functionality, a five-year guarantee, an AC power plug, and a frequency of five gigahertz.
Cons
- lack of depth or distance
Pros
- There is none of that.
Cons
- It automatically restarts a number of times throughout the day.
Pros
- The range is both short and far. He can handle anywhere from five to ten connections at once with ease. The padavan firmware update is available.
Cons
- Price in the market; could be lower
Pros
- There are a number of "sticks" sticking out of the light bulbs, and they flicker.
Cons
- 1) Often reboots itself 2) The speed of the internet is not as described 3) The box in the title can only display 5Hz. 4) The distance that the Wi-Fi antenna can cover
Pros
- 1. Nice interface. 2. There is a straightforward and understandable configuration of the most crucial tasks (Setup Wizard). 3. There is both a firewall and functionality to protect against DDoS attacks. 4. You can choose an icon to put on devices that are connected to the network, and the options that are presented to you are solid choices. 5. There is a Quality of Service function available (for skilled users). 6. The addition of parental controls and URL/keyword filtering will be beneficial to families.
Cons
- 1. The Internet or wireless network connections may become temporarily unavailable for a few seconds at random intervals. Rare, but not to anyone's liking. 2. Although the router does not always make an accurate determination of the type of connection, this is something that may be changed manually. 3. Despite the fact that there are two antennas for each band, the signal strength for the 2.4 GHz band is even somewhat lower than it was with my previous router, which only had one antenna and one band. 4. The administrative panel does not allow the configuration of numerous users for permission purposes. You are unable to permit simultaneous authentication from several devices. You can block access to the device from which the blocking happens, for instance. After doing so, it will be unable to go into the settings until the authority to do so is obtained or until the router is restarted (which cannot be done remotely). The technical support team will not admit that there is an issue or attempt to remedy it. 5. A hardwired Internet connection is the only way to connect to the internet; you cannot utilize another wireless network to do so. 6. The configuration of the router takes a very lengthy time. 7. The rules of filters, forwarding, and other lists cannot be edited; the only options are to delete the list and establish a new one. 8. The SMB server can only operate on the outdated protocol, making it open to attack from potentially harmful viruses. Tech support has nevertheless stated that they are working on implementing compatibility for newer versions of SMB.
Pros
- Two different price points are offered. check out the device's model in great detail. It's important to note that the 1200 and the 1200g are two separate models.
Cons
- When using the Internet, devices with native firmware experience a noticeable lag. There have been some firmware issues (original, latest) Don't accept the evaluations from users who claim to have loaded the Padawan's modified firmware on the RT-AC1200; instead, do your research and learn that the RT-AC1200 and the AC1200G are two entirely separate models, just like the MB C180 and the AMG45. Unfortunately, AC1200 does not support it. It is not compatible with service providers offering speeds greater than 100 MB per second because all of its ports are only 10/100 Mb.
