Review on Wireless Router ASUS WL-520GU by Chasmum Kumar ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The quality is fine, it's fine to use.

Mediocre router for Internet channels of below-average speed. Lots of fiddling with settings. The product does not meet the declared characteristics and advertising, technical support removes itself from resolving problems. If there is an extra couple of thousand, it’s better to get a smarter router. Its pros: Relatively low price. The router works out the money spent on it with a stretch. The year worked more or less flawlessly, although I had to fiddle with the settings from time to time. I endured until I switched to a faster Internet, which prompted me to purchase a faster router. Wi-fi in a three-room apartment pierced the walls without any problems, worked steadily. Everything else is really bad. Cons below: 1. Disgusting support service, when contacted they behave arrogantly and do not actually help on serious issues. And I had to go often. 2. Lack of normal firmware, incl. on third party resources. The consequences of flashing usually require advanced knowledge of configuring the router. 3. The built-in print server does not work properly, printing is possible only from the computer that is the first connected to the network in the current session, although printing from all computers on the network is declared. 4. Attention! If the Internet speed is more than 30-40 Mbps, then using this router is completely inappropriate and financially unprofitable, because. in fact, it can only use 20-25 Mbps (despite the declared 54!), and the channel will get no more than 2-3 Mbps. 5. There is no power off button. 6. After a year of use, there were problems with the stability of the work.
