No dead zones anywhere... upstairs downstairs.. I don’t care... full signal..Kids are ecstatic. They can stat in their rooms 24 Hrs... Just kidding... With my Netgear N we constantly had low signal even 10ft directly above the router. Downstairs worked pretty good. This AC1200 from Wavlink provides my family with the WIFI that they always wanted.. Five cell phones and three smart TV’s.. coupled with PS4... all work smooth and uninterrupted. The kids can now move around the house and not stay in the “good” spots.. cause its all good now...Installation was fairly easy.. I could see some customers having trouble. Wavlink could expand its customer base just by providing a manual thats not in microprint🤐. .. and something as simple as the manuals instruction to install the latest firmware... had me searching for it for about 30 min... it wasn’t there... It should have said “If an update is available you can access it here.. If its not there then you have the latest update., A cheat sheet for optimal wifi settings (screen shot) should be available for general family use... I shouldn’t have to go to you tube.. Clear Guidance Wav-link and you have a winner.. This doubled my speed on 5ghz and 2.4 Ghz... Love it...Read full review

I don’t know why they want these reviews because part of testing is durability, very important, this takes a few years at least. The immediate response on this unit is that it works, the price is low of course it’s Chinese made, power output is low, if you have a small size apartment it’s probably ok, bigger house or if you would like it to reach outside forget it. To me the next biggest thing is years of service. So check back.

I bought this router with full intention of putting DD-WRT on it instead of using the official firmware. After unpacking the router, I immediately plugged it into my laptop with no network and flashed it to the latest DD-WRT, which I then configured for 3 vwaps (Virtual Wireless Access Points, the wireless form of virtual networking), mixed modes. First vwap is of course the "real" one, and it's configured for maximum security, full network access. Second and third vwaps are direct internet only, each with slightly differing, but lesser security - these are for game consoles which don't support Enterprise level security. DD-WRT runs on this router like a champ. There's enough processing and memory left for me to set up a small server of some sort on it, which I intend to do when I can afford a nice external solid state drive. It's currently serving 2 draft n clients, and 4 g clients, and handling the authentication. My only gripe about this router is signal strength - it's kind of weak compared to the g-only router it replaced. I don't know if this is a result of running in mixed mode, or what, but I did fiddle with the tx power and 18 seems to be the optimum between signal strength and keeping the error count and dropped packets low. This is the first draft n router I have purchased, and did so after doing a lot of research about what I intended on doing, and what router ought to be able to supply me what I need for cheap. This router is very easy to flash to custom firmware, and there's a lot of choice out there, it also has one of the more powerful processors and more memory compared to most of the competition. This makes it ideal for a router firewall that can also serve up content. At the price, you get a router nearly as good as enterprise level gear, for less than a quarter of the typical cost. Not bad at all.Read full review
For the price of this router it performs as if it was a router that cost several times more! The features are excellent. Make sure you update the firmware in order for this to be a 5 star router. The main reason I bought it was to be able to use dd-wrt firmware which this router supports really nicely. This is my second one of this exact model. I am using 2 in my house on separate ends of the house. I also upgraded my antennas to 11dbi antennas that made a huge difference. I can now use WiFi out in my shop that is behind my house. This has been an excellent router and has plenty of features. As I said though make sure you at least update the ASUS firmware for best performance. (I did have issues with it using the old firmware, as it kept dropping connection.) Once I upgraded it's worked perfectly and once I upgraded to dd-wrt it's worked even better allowing me to use Open-dns and to buy pass TWC hijacking my server settings. Using Open-dns I get to put parental controls and their servers are faster than TWC. It's also free to use Open-dns too!Read full review
Very good router. Tested on Traffic generator with 4gig load + flow control on - almost no packet loss and full wire speed. The factory firmware is for home users, for advanced users Tomato Firmware with USB support. I suggest that router for people who have more then 2 PC in LAN network and want to share external USB storage. Wireless is a bit low of signal and the penetration via walls is not so good, but for home use in radius 5-15 meters its ok. Have lot of RAM and with QoS never get close to the 50% of memory usage.
