![]() ![]() To this day all of my ASUS routers still work and have proven themselves to me over the long haul. I have been a fan of ASUS routers for many years now, as they were some of the first to have a functional mouse driven GUI. Pros: ASUS RT-AC68U Wireless-AC1900 Dual Band Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/nĪiProtection with Trend Micro for Complete Network Security Pleased to say this router is going full time on my home network. Having the combination of quality parts, and a power supply that has ample headroom should help ensure that this router has the potential to last a long time. This ASUS RT-AC68U router seems to be the exception. This is foolish and possibly intentional. Yet most manufacturers are still using parts in their routers which age based on temperature. Routers should be designed to not be affected by heat. I do not know anybody who unplugs their router when they are done using it. unfortunately i have had to do just that. If you are like me, you don't like having to replace routers every few years when they become unstable. (the kind that wear out) instead it uses solid polymer capacitors, which far outlast their electrolytic equivalents. It does not use any cheap electrolytic capacitors. It has one large thick aluminum heatsink that runs the entire length of the router to keep everything cool. I took it apart for a bit of quality control and inspection. I have been using it for over a week now and have not had any problems. Overall this is a good looking router that is easy to use, and can serve as a decent NAS. speed and range are nearly identical to all my other routers. It is strong and fast through my entire home, and out into the street. The menu is nice, easy to navigate and find what i am looking for. ![]() It has a black anodized aluminum appearance to it, although it's made of plastic. I had to do a hard reset and try again using a different name and password combination. It would accept them as valid but weak passwords. I tried setting name and password both to admin just for testing purposes. Ran into a roadblock trying to log in using the same name/password combination. I had to format to NTFS before it would mount properly.Ĭons: Not meant to be hung on the wall, doesn't have the tabs for it. It could not mount my external SSD at first because it was in exFat format. It's far slower than usb 3.0 maximum speeds, But it is still fast enough to watch more than one full size 1080p movie at a time. This still leaves a lot of extra headroom for other usb powered devices.įile transfer speed over the usb3.0 port seems to max at about 29MB/s. (these measurement are total consumption taken at the outlet) and add 0.3 watts for each connected Ethernet Device. add about 1.5 Watts for mechanical drive. ![]() This power adapter is rated to provide 80watts, This router only draws 5 watts with wireless disabled, 9.5 watts with wireless enabled. it' is overkill for as little power as this router uses. Power adapter is ready for a much heavier load than i was able to get the router to draw. Power adapter looks well made, and will only block the next closest electrical plug on most power strips. Router with antennas weighs only 23.4 ounces. You can turn off the LED's if you like, but they are not very bright to begin with. It's designed to be put on a shelf or desk.ĭual usb ports, Including a usb 3.0 port. Pros: Very durable, It has rubber on the bottom to keep it from sliding around.
