Review on Wi-Fi router ASUS RT-AC88U, black/red by Amit Kumar (Amit) ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but I expected a little more.

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 is confidently strong, then 5 GHz transmits a signal that is faint. % 40-50. Also, the receivers (smartphones and tablets) will automatically switch to the 2.4 frequency at regular intervals. It suggests that either the strength or stability of the signal is lacking. At the same time, the signal path does not contain any "four reinforced concrete walls." One-room apartment. The hallway houses the router. That is, based on the robustness of a single wall. In addition, there are no doors leading to the interior. In addition, the torrent client let me down a great deal. The web interface begins to uncontrollably sluggish down almost immediately after the download has been initiated. Login takes roughly 5 minutes. More than ten minutes are lost in the process of switching to the "usb application" section. In most cases, I keep my mouth shut concerning loading the Download Master page. Waiting is a hopeless endeavor. As this is going on, other parts of the process move forward really rapidly. These load quite quickly. Once one hour has passed since the beginning of the download, the online interface begins to reply significantly more quickly. It is easy to log in. 30–40 seconds will be spent transitioning from the main page to the section on USB applications. 20–30 seconds will pass as the Download Master page loads. The time it takes to get from the "General settings" area to the next part on the Download Master page is around ten seconds. Therefore, we will not discuss the download speed in this article. I uploaded a movie that was 16 GB in size. The first time, I did not wait until the download was completely finished. I believed the distribution was handled somewhat awkwardly. Downloading got underway using the Synology DS216play. Uploaded in under a quarter of an hour. After making the switch, I restarted downloading over the router and started using a different carrier. When I did it the first time, I plugged in a Seagate Barracuda disk; when I did it the second time, I used a USB flash drive. Also, both the disk and flash drive that come with a computer and a laptop perform incredibly quickly. The router indicated that there had been a progress of 5% after 1 hour and 25 minutes had passed since the beginning of the download. 28.7% of the goal has been accomplished after 2 hours and 45 minutes. The current version of the firmware is 3.0.0.4.380_3341, which is the most recent available. I went shopping with her but we didn't end up eating any of the food. I'm having a hard time finding support. I am completely disheartened.

Pros
  • Appearance, user-friendliness of the website interface
Cons
  • Due to the poor quality of the 5 GHz transmission, the torrent client moves at a glacial pace. warm without becoming overly heated.
