Awards
ASUS had recently introduced a new entry level dual-band wireless router that uses the latest wireless standard protocol, 802.11ac Wave 2. The RT-AC59U is a new AC1500 router that comes with a better processor compared to its predecessor, the RT-AC58U. ASUS claims, the AC59U has a better wireless signal strength compared to AC58U and serves to eliminate dead spots in your residence via its four external powerful antennas.
The ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC works fine as a secondary monitor that you can bring around but lacks the versatility that the touchscreen variant offers.
"The Asus RT-AX88U is the best choice for a higher end router. It features next generation Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology, and an impressive eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, which even supports link aggregation. Backing this up is the usual excellent AsusWRT interface, which allows granular control of every imaginable setting. "
"One of the fastest routers we've tested, the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 offers lots of gamer-friendly features, copious I/O ports, and a slick management console that lets you optimize your network for lag-free gaming."
"The Asus RT-AC86U is a fast AC2900 dual band router that's equipped with the latest networking technology and is loaded with gamer optimization and network protection features."
The ExpertWiFi may look like a conventional mesh Wi-Fi system. But its business-class app provides versatile networking features ideal for many small-to-medium businesses and public venues such as restaurants and hotels.
