I didn’t ate the firmware, as they say: it works - don’t touch)) everything works fine for me and on the standard 3341, I turned on 2 guest networks in different ranges (you can make 6 guest networks in total, 3 for each range) without protection and distribute wifi neighbors :) but in general I really liked the structure of building the settings, everything is logical and consistent, there are even links to the necessary settings in the right places, you don’t need to poke through the menus…

Before that, there was Apple Airport Extreme, which, after 6 years of operation, refused to let the ipTV provider pass, and a month later it died completely. Then I took the Buffalo AC1750, which was faster than Apple, but much weaker in range and constantly losing wifi. And finally, I took ASUS RT-AC88U. It seems that he moved from the Zhiguli to the Bugatti. Even the torrent client downloads faster than on Synology DS414j through the same router.

The only purpose of this review is to warn future owners of this router - do not ate the firmware (microcode) in any case ! Mine came with version 3.0.0.4_380_858, everything worked right away (including 2.4 and 5G). Followed the recommendations from the user manual and ated the microcode to version 380_2345. After the ate, 5G disappeared . At first I decided that something had burned out . but a long search in the ASUS forums helped - I found in a discussion of a completely different router…

I decided to purchase it after reading the reviews that were posted on this market. A previous model, the Asus RT-N12, came before it. On the other hand, I required a dual band. In addition to that, in order to operate the RT-N12, I was required to make use of a signal booster made by TP-Link. What can I say . TP-Link was the first thing I got rid of. The strength of the signal is now sufficient to "rookery" (this is about 9 meters to the router). Therefore, if 2.4 GHz transmits a signal that…

Its pros: Before that, there was AC66U, it did not cover the whole house of 3 floors. This one "shines" on 3 floors easily in the range of 2.4, at 5 it is certainly not so long-range. Its cons: There is a problem with channels, setting a free channel by hand is solved (if there is a lot of WiFi around, it's still better to do it).

We have loved ASUS for a long time and judging by our routers, this love is mutual! They didn’t come to her right away, they tried different routers over the past 10 years. And now, following the results of trials / errors / repairs, ASUS RT-AC68U came to our house. For the entire period of its use, only one advantage. But due to some of our personal "cockroaches" and "wants of a true blonde" (read: my wife - "I want the same, but with mother-of-pearl buttons"), we set out to find a router for…

Did not live up to expectations, so I decided to get another one. It is too late to turn back, and I require a minimum of eight ports. It was a waste of my money. Not really familiar with how the Asus works with completed firmware, but everything seems to be quite disappointing thus far. You will first need to download it to your computer, after which you will need to move it to your hard drive via the network. After that, you will be able to watch it from any device. Has pros: The USB 3.0 port

Did not live up to expectations, I buy a repeater. It's too late to return, and I need at least 8 ports. Not worth my money. Not very aware of how the asus with finished firmware, but so far everything is rather sad. Now you have to download to your computer, and then transfer it over the network to your hard drive, and then you can already watch from any device. Has pros: Lots of ports, easy to set up, the ability to work as an entry-level network storage through the usb 3.0 port. Fast work in

Another product that ASUS considers to be part of their flagship lineup. What can I say? Three out of four routers were brought back to the shop where they were purchased. The work on step 4 has not been finished yet. The RT-AC5300 model was the one that kicked everything off. The excellence of the router itself completely overpowered the excitement of making the purchase. The frequencies of the network stopped working. Flashing is not helpful in any way, and it is apparent that this mental…

It's been working for a year and a half now. It is heated, of course, but there are no problems from this. More than two years have passed. Works stably.

Pros below: beautiful. powerful. You can set traffic priorities for connected devices. With its cons. very big I ated the firmware myself and now the dhcp wan error

I bought myself 2 of these routers for the aimesh technology. The first and main router worked for half a year and is still working today. The second router after 2 weeks fell off 5ghz wifi. The diode on the router is off, there is no network. after setting up aimesh. it is impossible to go to the slave router. You can't see or configure anything in it. all attempts are automatically redirected to the main router. Below they wrote about the versions of the assemblies, I did not check, I handed…

I purchased this router due to the presence of 8 ports, simple setup and speed that suits me. At the same time, I doubted for a long time, because. I already had the experience of communicating with an Asus router, which periodically fell off the wifi network (if there were no devices on the network for more than a day). As a result, I still purchased it, but literally a couple of months after the purchase, wifi networks (2 and 5 Ghz) turned off, the settings page works with wild brakes, the…

For that kind of money, you can buy a full-fledged mesh, or four mikrotik ac2, and not this underrouter! A year later, 5GHz fell off. Judging by the messages on the forums, this is their , chip , such.

Firmware ate does not kill 5GHz. It turned out that the old firmware set channel 140 by default (132, 136, 140 - they work quite well, but with width restrictions), the new ones use channel 100 by default - all my devices (phone, xbox one - so same as all channels in the range 100-116). Manual installation - helps until Smart Connect is turned on (there is only Auto - channel 100: D). In the new firmware, there are no channels 116 and higher at all. I had to calculate myself, the support is…

I really liked this purchase. Setting up the router is very simple, everyone can figure it out. Excellent transfer speed and stable ping in the game thanks to the Game Acceletator, I did not observe drawdowns during the games. A beautiful design reminiscent of a spacecraft, the size is impressive compared to what was before Zyxel Keenetik. The indoor coverage area is amazing, I live in a country house of 400 sq. M. The wi-fi network is distributed throughout the house. Various devices are…

It so happened that I am the owner of two copies of this device. There were no special problems with the first, except for dancing with a tambourine when activating the "AC" wireless data transfer mode - the notorious problem with channel selection. But after I set everything up, there were no more complaints - everything flies and 40MB / s when transferring data from a NAS over the air is not the limit. But with the second one, the situation is already worse - an hour after the purchase, the…

Firmware ate does not destroy 5GHz. It turns out that the older version of the firmware had channel 140 set as the default (132, 136, and 140 all operate pretty well, but have width constraints), while the newer versions use channel 100 as the default for all of my devices (phone, xbox one - so same as all channels in the range 100-116). Installation by hand is helpful up until the point where Smart Connect is activated (there is only Auto - channel 100: D). The most recent firmware does not…

Very strange, the engineers approached this router, the memory is constantly leaking, there is no reserve, the percentage is fully loaded. And this is just when copying files from one machine . What will happen to it if you give it a load from several computers is not clear. Due to jambs with the disk, long replacements await me . I would advise you to take the previous, time-tested model.

I have an Asus RT-AC88U hardware revision A5 that works for half a year without any complaints. Yesterday I bought another one but with a hardware revision of A3, worked for one hour, after which wifi 5 gigahertz disappeared and problems began with the web interface in terms of setting up wifi. ps when buying, pay attention to the hardware version do not take A3, there are no complaints about other versions of such a shaft. The hardware version is indicated on the nameplate of the box in the…
