    Out of order after 2 years

    Router that worked fine for 2 years. Was replaced after 5 weeks of treatment by a new model.
    This one is impossible to access, either by RJ45 or by Wifi.
    In short, it's cheap and we understand why. A product that should be stopped.
    Run away as much as possible.

    Excellent

    Very easy to use, very complete, efficient.
    There is a small switch to turn it on and off, useful when leaving home :)

    It can also be used as a switch with ethernet ports to connect other devices.

    Nothing to say!

    excellent

    Powerful and easy to use ASUS software!


    The advantages :
    - ASUS software easy to use.
    - Possible to fix the box on a wall! (hole for screw underneath)
    - Waits for your agreement to restart, even for an update !(so think to go and see it from time to time !)
    - ASUS software almost complete!
    - nice case!
    - easy to access reboot button!

    The minuses :
    - it is necessary to restart it from time to time. Not a big deal either, every 3 months is enough, and it lasts 15 seconds!
    - Real negative point, the antennas are not screwed, which prevents the exchange against wire antennas or offset.

    Perfect!

    Super router signed Asus, perfect packaging (as expected with Asus). The driver(s) are provided (CD or on the official Asus website) as well as a basic RJ45 cable. Works very well, no particular difficulty during the installation.

    POSITIVE POINTS :

    -Easy to use/install
    -AICloud and AIRadar ( For a cloud in your home thanks to an external USB support and the second one for a more advanced redirection of the waves towards the 5 Ghz devices only )
    -Quality price ratio !
    -Barely audible in complete silence!
    -Discreet LED(s)

    NEGATIVE POINTS :

    -Range of 5 Ghz waves a little weaker than those of the 2.4 Ghz frequency

    Yes BUT

    Good for sharing an internet connection, but connecting devices via WiFi is another matter that I have not mastered.
    I have temporarily reverted to a wired connection which is easier to use.

    A good router

    This Asus router works very well. The Wi-Fi quality is satisfactory. The positive point is the number of parameters available for network configuration, which is significantly better than on low-cost routers.
