Review on Wireless Router ASUS WL-520GU by Anson Chen ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

I must say right away that the provider Corbin (Beeline) and the connection was L2TP. Can be on PPTP and severely limited the speed, although I think I worked fine on PPTP. The router is not fully used. But I can say that at the rate of 12Mbps I downloaded from the net without any problems. By cable, the maximum was somewhere in the region of 7-8MB. By wifi - 2.5MB. This is when you just had to download something, an image of a thread, an antivirus. Although I also used disi and had no problems. In principle, I also used torrents, but also for one-time jumps. After I installed the firmware from Oleg, I generally forgot about the router. Worked without interruption. IPTV pulled over the cable without problems. True, WiFi often fell off at the same time. It was generally unrealistic to watch IPTV over WiFi (or maybe I didn’t set it up that way), but it wasn’t really necessary. So in general, it seems to me a good router for the home if you do not have high traffic requirements. Cuts the speed of course but did not bother me. But it worked steadily. There was such an impression of a small faithful friend.

Pros
  • Cute, fairly easy to set up, the presence of good third-party firmware
Cons
  • Cuts speed - although what is there to be surprised, the router is simple in a good way
