A:Also keep in mind that your speed is only as fast as your slowest link. While the wireless connection may be faster than 1Gbps, if your internet connection is 50Mbps, you are not going to notice a difference over 802.11N speeds. So in surfing the internet you won't see a benefit. However if you are transferring large f… see more Also keep in mind that your speed is only as fast as your slowest link. While the wireless connection may be faster than 1Gbps, if your internet connection is 50Mbps, you are not going to notice a difference over 802.11N speeds. So in surfing the internet you won't see a benefit. However if you are transferring large files between machines in your home or a lot of files you would see transfer rates would be faster. While N devices can support 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequencies, with AC it is in 5GHz range. While I don't have any AC devices yet on my network, I do see better range on the devices that support 5GHz vs the ones that are only 2.4GHz on the N band. Also keep in mind how AC gets these speeds, they use a much larger frequency range to transmit the signal. The bad part of this is if you live in a high population density area (think apartment/condo/townhome) you may get lots of bleed over and interference. The AC signal will travel a lot further so you will be fighting with your neighbors more. I happen to live on several acres in more of a rural environment so this isn't an issue for me. I like cranking up the power because I get much better coverage. see less

A:The Phaser aspect didn't pass safety standards. the Stun mode and Kill mode would switch randomly. Several dolphins and dogs lost their lives during testing. It was finally decided to disable that feature until further testing would prove successful.

A:Its a pretty big force field, also I have noticed a rosy glow to my cheeks. Not saying its AC Band burn but hey, I look much better!

A:I had this exact same question and called ASUS. They said the product themselves are exactly the same on the inside. The "U" stands for universal (e.g. can be sold by Amazon). While the "R" stands for re-seller. (e.g. meaning it can be sold though stores like Best Buy)

A:There are 3 Primary channels, 1 for 2.4GHz and 2 for 5GHz. Each has its' own SSID out of the box.If you turn on the Smart Connect feature, this drops to a single SSID used across all 3 channels, and the router then decides which channel to put which device on.

I have not tested to see if Smart Connect works for the Guest channels as well, but I doubt it.So, to answer your question, if you're trying to annoy your neighbors......this CAN broadcast up to 12 total SSID's. see less

A:Best home router I have ever used. I am a network administrator by trade, and Asus could teach Cisco some things on ease of configuration. Easy to setup, yet very powerful. Does everything I need it to do, very well: VPN, file sharing, printer sharing, and guest network. Great device.

If you've listened to the tech news lately you know that home routers firmware tend to be full of bugs that aren't always fixed and home routers are becoming a major attack vector. It isn't worth it for most manufacturers to continue to update their older routers firmware b/c they want you to purchase new one. So yes, it is supported and, yes it is important. :) see less

A:There are only two "models" R and U; however, they are exactly the same. as per asus.com, "The AC87U and the AC87R routers are identical when it comes to their hardware and design, the difference in their naming comes in where they can be purchased ( the 87R being a BestBuy specific sku ) and the 87U being available a… see more There are only two "models" R and U; however, they are exactly the same. as per asus.com, "The AC87U and the AC87R routers are identical when it comes to their hardware and design, the difference in their naming comes in where they can be purchased ( the 87R being a BestBuy specific sku ) and the 87U being available at all other retailers an etailers." see less

A:Don't try to scare it, it responds better if you take it for walks on a leash and give it a name talking to it like a puppy

A:Contrary to the other users comment it is infact not wall mountable. If you read the cnet review they note this as well and show the back so you can verify it's not wall mountable.

A:this is NOT a Modem. this piece of equipment is a Router. you (or your ISP) will need to provide a separate modem to connect to their particular network system for internet access. this is the piece of equipment which will tie in your peripherals and clients and allow them access to each other and then the internet (th… see more this is NOT a Modem. this piece of equipment is a Router. you (or your ISP) will need to provide a separate modem to connect to their particular network system for internet access. this is the piece of equipment which will tie in your peripherals and clients and allow them access to each other and then the internet (through the connection to the modem) there are combination Modem/Routers out there... this is not one of them. and I personally prefer to separate the modem/router functionality out to individual devices so ISP's can be changed if desired without redesigning the LAN (wired or wireless) if you need additional information please search on keywords such as "modem vs router" or "home network setup". but the bottom line is there is benefit to have the clients and peripherals (computers, tv's, NAS, printers, media servers, game platforms etc) attached (wirelessly or wired) to a separate ROUTER such as this one, and then the router attached to the MODEM (either you or your ISP provides) which is the portal from your LAN to the Internet. got it? two separate devices... ROUTER and MODEM. internal router connecting to the external world through a modem. There is a separate (or two in this case for purposes of redundancy of service) port on the back that connects the router to the modem. The other ports are for LAN and peripherals. Hope this helps... I still highly recommend further research to be done on your part to more fully understand the topography and functionality of small business/home networks so to be best prepared to allow full functionality, security, and to keep from spending money on what may be the wrong product for the purpose. Best of luck! see less

A:Yes you can. There are 2 holes on the bottom with rubber plugs in them that, when removed, will allow the router to be hung on two screw heads.

A:Use the web page from the AC66U. On the left you will see USB.

A:Network Drive. Keep in mind that you'll need to have the drive set to ext3 (fastest in my experience), ntfs, or fat for the router to be able to see it.

A:They are both lumped under the same listing .... in turn reviews will be for both the 66 and 68.Just look for the BOLDER Black review that says "this review is from" above each review. Sucks to have kinda skim through but no biggie.

A:Can be programed directly into it. Was quite simple.

A:A number of them will work. I purchased the following Net Gear: http://www.amazon.com/Netgear-802-11AC-Gigabit-Extender-EX6100/dp/B00HHRP11C . I was able to make it work pretty easily. I was able to push the signal farther out of the house (to the backyard) and increase the speed in the family room.

A:2 usb ports==one in back and one behind a little door. up front--left.

A:Never had a issue, range outstanding.

A:If you do not use the 5Ghz, you should be fine leaving it on. However, if you wish to disable 5Ghz, this can be done through the router's UI under Wireless > Professional (5Ghz).

A:Universal multi voltage ,110-240 AC Adapter.

A:Yes, you can keep 2.4 and 5ghz clients separated... You can name your 5ghz something like mySSID_5 and mySSID_2.4 and then have different passwords for them.. . you can also create guest networks that sit on 2.4 AND 5ghz and use different passwords for those as well...

A:Yes, I use mine with another router just cascade the two and three will be fine.

Contacted ASUS support (which is worse than pulling teeth and was told that I'd have to send it in, and that I wouldn't get it back for some time. And clearly can't be without a router since everything in the house runs off of it including working from home for a living on it. I told them simply send me a replacement working router, and they can have my credit card on file so that if they don't get the other router back from me, they can charge me the full price of router. They said they can't do that. And offered no solution, so the only solution then is to go out and buy another router (from a different company with better support). So in that sense it doesn't have a warranty you'd be able to actual use, unless you can live without internet for a week or two. see less

A:Answer this question

A:Yes, the router has built-in parental controls that allow you to restrict specific devices for specific times as well as block specific URLs. In addition, you can set time limits on each guest network (there are 6 total, 3 2.4ghz and 3 5ghz).

In addition, you can set time limits on each guest network (there are 6 total, 3 2.4ghz and 3 5ghz). The biggest problem with the parental controls is the URL filtering is "dumb" in that you have to enter each restricted URL and there is a limit of 128. You'll find that you can easily find more than 128 anonymous proxy servers on the internet and if you can find them, so can your teens. You cannot whitelist and while you can keyword filter, it's a chainsaw approach. see less

I would guess that Asus will eventually add support for this USB Modem, but my experience so far is that they usually do not get added until there is a large install base (typically around the time that the carriers stop offering that model). This means that the Asus Supported modem list (http://www.asus.com/event/networks_3G4G_support/) usually only ever has older, out of production units listed on it.Sorry for the bad news. But, if you can wait... You can do what I'm doing. I am keeping my AT&T Beam, but pulling the SIM out and placing it in a used AirCard 313U I bought on Amazon. the 313U still gives me LTE speeds, and once Asus gets around to adding support for the 340U, I'll switch it over. see less

An example would be the 14" hi-gain (-9 dbi) wifi antennas offered at monoprice for about $4 per. They boast a wifi range of about 1600 feet (under ideal conditions). Keep in mind however that the wifi mandates a transmit function and receive function at both ends of the connection so if you are thinking about replacing the stock ASUS antennas with hi-gain ones, that's only half of the equation. Hope this answers your question. see less

A:I have had mine for about 4 months. I didn't upgrade the firmware and have never had to reboot it due to a lost connection. Very happy with my purchase.

A:Yes, several

A:Yes, it does. No issues so far.

There are minuscule feature differences that are more gimmick then anything else which should not factor in to a purchase decision.For me personally, the ac5300 worked better. It had longer range and more thruput at range. It has also been more stable. But to each their own, each person will have their mileage vary. see less

You can see each of the guest network computers as well as each wired and wireless computer that is logged on. This is viewed under the Network Map tab then clients button. Each client is identified by name as well as the address being used. You can monitor all traffic, but cannot separate just the guest traffic alone from the other traffic, as far as I can see. Under the Traffic Monitor tab there is a large active chart that displays traffic in any of four different ways. You can choose to view Internet, Wired, Wireless 2.4G, or Wireless 5G. Of course if all my personal computers were set up to use 5G I could then set up a guest network so that it could only use 2.4G. Then all traffic being displayed on the Wireless 2.4G chart would reflect the guests usage. Of course this may not be practical.With this router you can set up 3 different 2.4G networks and 3 different 5G networks all at the same time. You can choose to password protect each individually or leave it open to all. You can also set a timer on each separately so that access to the particular guest network expires after a certain time. Once set up the way you want it, which is easy, you can activate or deactivate any or all of the guest networks with a click of a button. So you might choose to have several Guest Networks configured for various situations and then activate the appropriate one. Hope this helps. John P see less

If you're using an older device then you're not going have the speed or reliability. I think the router handles the volume very well considering the four users at my house. see less

A:Out of the box I hooked it up to my crappy twc modem and it updated itself. Had to do nothing more on firmware and it works great still!

A:I'm trying to figure this out myself, but haven't gotten warm fuzzies.

There are some odd circumstances that will make the setup of a new router a painful process. Before the installation of a new router all the clients should be turned off. I am sure than may user will bring the just purchased router for return to the store just because of this. They may be other reasons like high interference with the neighbor, too many conflicting clients, old router still on, although disconnected from the modem. But this item is great. I have it for over 45 days, it's the best of any router of any brand that I have ever used see less

A:Zero way to give range on WiFi ... all depends on your home, walls, age of home, wiring, interference, etc. etc etc.Its has the best range of any router I have ever owned is all I know.

A:If connecting by WAN, yes.

A:Yes the router should work with the modem. The only gotcha could be that the router and the modem use 192.168.1.xxx network adress space so when you get your router, change your lan network to 192.168.5.xxx to avoid potential conflict. Reboot the router and should be all set.

A:I'm sure it can. It is able to process speeds of up to 1.75Gbps using the wireless 5Hhz AC band. However if your Xbox does not connect via wifi, or have an AC capable LAN/WAN card it wont get the speeds advertised. Your internet connection speeds also has alot to do with it. I would recommend a 20Mbps connection.

A:I don't know the maximum number because I have not reached it yet. However, I recently had a gathering at my home where a Mac, three tablets, two drop cams and 8 smart phones were connected on both 5 ghz band and a 2.4 ghz guest network all at the same time. And no one reported any slow connections.

A:Probably so if you disengage the wireless capability on the modem. You will get much better coverage and performance with this router.

A:The question is regarding the CPUs and RAM, not signal strength or ease of installation. This unit has 512MB of DDR3 RAM and 128MB of flash memory.The unit's processor (1) is a Broadcom BCM4707 (1.4 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex). There are 3 Broadcom BCM4366 network processors (1 for 2.4 GHz and 2 for 5 GHz).

A:Classed networking died ages ago. Are you trying to ask if the router can handle a 10.x private subnet with a network larger than a /24? If so, the answer is yes, you can change the subnet mask and IP for the LAN yourself.

A:12 inches

A:Yes, the unit does appear to have dual radios for the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies.

A:Yes, with an external hard drive

A:RT-AC5300 is the master of entertaining, able to support as many devices as people you invite over and can even maintain multiple simultaneous Full HD 1080P streams. Beyond content consumption, the RT-AC5300 enables a smarter home, supporting IP cameras, thermostats and a variety of devices you don't even own yet.

If you feel the need to do this, my advise would be to use locktite on the threads as that will keep them from loosening but don't use any type of cement.......you could void your warranty by using these type of compounds on your router, so wait until after warranty is over. see less

A:I have Synology Diskstation connected to the ASUS RT-AC5300 via link aggregation (2x 1Gbps connection) and to copy 1.25GB file over 5GHz WiFi takes about 15 seconds.

A:You should be able to. It has a lot of VPN options, like PPTP, L2TP, and Open VPN. Also you can upload a ".ovpn" file. I'm not very familiar with VPN's but if you look in the manual it may shed some more light.

Like I said though, never messed around with the VPN aspect though. Hope this helps! see less

A:Answer this question

A:As long as you have the correct adapter for the electricity, it'll work just fine. You may need to change the broadcast channel since I'm not sure what is allowed in europe.

A:Yes standard sma connector

A:Biggest difference is that it has 8 Gigabit Ports plus USB 2.0 & 3.0 ports. It also has improved coverage up to 5400 sg ft. There are other improvements, but I got it mainly for the 8 Gigabit ports as it saves using a switch as most other WiFi Routers only have 4 ports.

A:It does have Parental Controls where you can set up time limits for a device on your network such as a laptop etc. But be warned. Kids are pretty sharp and have ways to bypass your network parental control limits. They can try and log on to another network in the area (home or business) or even use their cell phone … see more It does have Parental Controls where you can set up time limits for a device on your network such as a laptop etc. But be warned.

A:MAC address filtering is available on all three wifi signals. I'm currently using the filter on all three of them. No issues at all.

A:If by backup drive you mean a USB attached storage available to the network, then yes. I have a 1tb usb 2 drive attached to the USB 2.0 port and a 64gig USB3 thumb drive attached to the USB 3 port which I map as a network drive.

A:Yes, its available for apple IOS and Android

I have the RT-AC5300 as my main router and use the Linksys 1900ACS as a router behind router because the ASUS doesn't play nice with TiVo. Hopefully in the next firmware they will find a fix. see less
