5G wireless signal is a little bit too weak on my iPhone 6S from the far end of the house. Switched to 2.4G and it’s fine. 5G still works great on my laptop and other devices with larger antennas.
Router won’t connect to Private Internet Access on OpenVPN but works fine with L2TP VPN. I suspect this is an issue with PIA rather than the router itself. Router is auto-reconnecting to the L2TP VPN after each ISP outage so that’s a good sign. I have yet to test for IP leakage during the transition when my ISP comes back online. However I can say for sure that the VPN is passing IP and DNS leak tests while it is connected. You will have to go to the router’s WAN settings and enter your VPN provider’s static DNS addresses in order to prevent DNS leaks. Overall, I’m satisfied with the router’s VPN capabilities and VERY happy with the consistent auto-reconnect keeping the VPN always on.
Original Review:
Been online for a few minutes and ran a speed test pulling a 2GB file from my network share.
Wireless speeds at 60Mb/s from about 35ft away through multiple walls.
Standing about 10ft away through 1 wall I was getting around 100-160Mb/s.
Standing right in front of the router I got 300Mb/s.
Test was conducted with a mid-2010 MacBook Pro on the 5G wireless only. It may be worth noting that this MacBook’s maximum wireless speed is 300Mbps. All other devices in the house were on the 2.4G network at the time, so this does not account for everything, but it’s a solid demonstration of the router’s capability for 300Mbps of actual throughput in optimal conditions.
Overall, an excellent wireless performance so far. As many other reviewers have stated, the bottom line here is that I’m getting viable whole-house coverage from this single device.
As for the web UI, it’s user friendly enough for anyone who has configured a router before. The only irritating feature is that any changes you want to make have to be applied immediately, and each change requires a reboot. This is fairly common practice for SOHO router web UIs, and for good reason, so ASUS loses a star on UI but not on the overall rating.
I haven’t tried to use it yet, but the router’s VPN setting offers PPTP, L2TP, and OpenVPN options. I will update this review after testing the OpenVPN and seeing how it handles ISP outages which are a daily occurrence here.
The Asus more than doubled our speeds in the weak areas and the software seems pretty easy to use.
The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that all of the quick start documentation is geared toward setting up the Asus for router operating mode.
I will go through how I set it up for AP after a call to Asus support.
1. Go to Asus support and download/install the Device Discovery software on the computer that you will use to set up the Asus.
2. Ignore all of the instructions to do anything to your existing router or modem/router.
3. Connect a cat5 cable from the Asus WAN port to your setup PC directly. No other cables connected to the Asus.
4. Connect the power cable to the Asus and use button on back to power up.
5. On PC browser, go to 192.168.1.1 and you will get to login page, so enter admin for both. You may get a chance to change these at this time.
6. You will go to main page and the software will expect you to go through the router setup sequence – don’t.
7. In the advanced settings panel, click on administration. Click the tab along the top for Operating Mode. Click Access Point Mode and click Apply.
8. After processing, you will get a screen to set wireless SSIDs, security and such. You can do this now or later. I chose to do it later and hit Apply.
9. The next screen is to set up the IP address,etc. I just left it all on auto and hit Apply. It will reset the Asus IP to 192.168.50.1
10. After processing, it tells you that you are set up.
11. Unplug the cat5 cable from both the PC and Asus. Plug a wired network cable into the WAN port on the Asus. This will result in your existing router assigning a new IP address to the Asus.
12. Run the Device Discovery software to get the new IP address.
13. Enter the new IP address in your browser and you should get back to the Asus software.
Update 11/28/2017: Upgraded to five stars due to rock solid performance and fantastic wireless coverage.I have now turned off the wireless on my modem/router completely and this covers the whole house - often with wireless speeds identical to wired.
