I purchased this switch to supplant an ASUS RT-N66U Dark Knight switch. This new switch obviously beats my old switch. Nitty gritty audit:
My home system depends on various wired and remote gadgets. Wired gadgets incorporate a system laser printer, home server, and three PC’s. Remote gadgets incorporate a media streamer, remote brilliant TV, TIVO DVR, chromebook, three Kindles, and up to three advanced cells.
Basically, I can have a congested system now and again. My old ASUS RT-N66U performed enough, however did not convey the solid results I was anticipating. I even went so far as to uproot the OEM recieving wires, and supplant them with 3x ASUS 9dBi High Gain Wireless Antennas to enhance signal scope and quality. However even after the update I was not getting the scope I had trusted.
Preceding setting up this new switch, I circumvented the house with a phone running the Amped Wireless WiFi Analytics application to quantify remote sign quality at 3 separate areas - media server, savvy TV, back room(famous dead space). I took a normal perusing from 10 tests at every area. I then continued to evacuate my old switch, and supplant it with the new ASUS RT-AC87U in precisely the same, swapping out the system links in precisely the same and design. Setup was super quick, and I ran the firmware overhaul, and afterward rebooted the switch.
I utilized the same system watchword as some time recently so my gadgets were in a split second ready to utilize the new system. There were no association glitches. In every one of the three areas, signal quality was higher with the new switch out of the case, than my old switch utilizing overhauled recieving wires. The greatest distinction was in the back room(where the past switch attempted to convey a sign), where I saw scope bounce from 65% to 95%. Alternate areas had 100% sign scope with quantifiably higher sign quality than some time recently. I have not measured throughput logically, but rather can say that I tried gushing lossless sound on my media streamer, and HD feature on my TV, without issue.
I am exceptionally satisfied with the router.
