Asus RT-AC56U router that has it all at a good price

Hello friends, I am pleased to present one of the best wireless routers in the world at the moment, the fact is incorrect to call it router because the router function is marginal besides loads of extremely helpful with this beast comes.
Do not get me wrong, this router does not recommend it because it is cheap and good, if you are looking for a cheap and good router, I recommend Netis WT2412 or TP-LINK TL-WR740NI recommend wireless router I recommend Asus RT-AC56Ubecause it is a great device and affordable enough for a camera this caliber.
Let's start with wireless standards.
We have dual band concurrent, meaning 5 2.4 GHz GHz and at the same time, plus some guest networks (for guests), we have a total 8 wireless networks simultaneously on this router, four-GHz networks and 2,4 4 5 GHz networks.
We have all the wireless standards under the sun, from B, G, N and the much praised AC. Note that the router does not work a "fall over legacy" module, ie it does not reduce the speed of all customers to the weakest speed, AC56U sends everyone as much as possible and customers (smartphone, laptop, etc.) use as much as they can their boards wireless network.
Now let's talk about USB.
We have two door ports, USB and USB 2.0 3.0, which can be used in so many ways. We can connect them to printers, USB sticks, external hard drives, modems or 3G 4G.
We VPN server, Samba server (network file share), FTP server, iTunes server, personal cloud applications for all mobile platforms and beyond. If you do not know what a VPN server, I invite you to watch tutorial okay freedom, Also if you do not know what an FTP server. you can watch Tutorial FileZilla.
In terms of hardware the router comes with a dual core ARM processor A9, 256 128 MB MB RAM and flash firmware. Applications can be installed on the hard disk or usb stick. Um, do I have said, those from Asus lets us install applications on this router. An example is the download manager (Download Master) who can even download torrents directly in the hard drive connected to the router via USB.
The default setting is super easy and super intelligent, easy because you can do on a phone and intelligence that can detect conflicts and can solve alone IP (change class assignment).
The reports on this router is very well done, you can even find invalid logins and IPs that have been initiated.
The firewall is another strong point, DDoS protection is fbine Vent, especially as it makes the hardware level. A function that recommend this router for small and medium enterprises.
More will speak next tutorial which will show you how working with the router and knows how to make you live.

Until next time I recommend you watch the rest dedication the networking tutorialsThere are many information that can help you arrange the system to remove the maximum bandwidth of it.

  • Hi, I want to ask you if it can support the 1000 mb speed of RDS. Because there are many routers that boast gigabit and can't handle it. What is the maximum download speed and if you tested it with rds 1000 mb?

    • Adi this secure router can support 1000mb because it has WAN port = RJ-45 - Ethernet transfer rate (Mbps): 10/100/1000, if you noticed it's blue ... and definitely the LAN port on your laptop it must be gigabit, it must be blue, so if your laptop doesn't have a gigabit LAN port, then you won't have speeds up to 1000 mb ...

      • I had 2 ask routers which were said to be gigabit acceleration and lacked NAT and I went 300 Mb .. Few routers, at affordable prices, that support real 1000 mb .. So therefore ask that more or better on paper but in reality ..

        • You must understand that WiFi will not get any nohow to 1000 Mb router even if you have a really gigabyte for what to see? Standards antennas on most laptops (especially if you are older generation) are B, G, N. The speed limit for N is only 600 Mb but you will never touch!
          You'll probably reach the wireless router and laptop and if they gigabyte ports

          • Short correction, it is not gigabit gigabyte. Autocorrect keyboard smartphone is guilty for mistakes!

    • I have net from RDS, however I guarantee that it is a router top, if not the first, certainly in top 10 routers right now.
      The hardware is exceptional.
      I don't think there are many routers with nat hardware support, jumbo frames and dual wan.
      If you have one of you routers from Asus (AC66U, AC68U, AC56U), please tell us the RDS Gigabit performance.

  • Hello, Cristi. Where you bought this router?
    You as much as your phone battery or G3 Cristi LG Nexus?

    • Cristi but I can not answer because I know the answer to both questions
      Link to the store where you bought the router Cristi above tutorial, written in red
      4 Nexus battery to keep depending on how and how you use it. For this reason it can keep myself less you more or vice versa.
      Because recently I had long discussions with my colleague Cristi on batteries for smartphones keeps telling me that 1 day. But I repeat, it is not relevant given that you and Cristi same way you do not use!

      • Yes, Adrian, you are absolutely right. It still boasts some to sit all day on the internet and facebook and keep them about 2 days. Good word of mouth is free, can lie. Sitting battery assembly not to go is impossible. Maybe mAh battery 4000 or 5000 mAh would be ideal to play his button and keep you long battery.

      • Sorry, of. Adrian, I couldn't find any linK where dL.Cristi bought the product from. I would be interested in a better price (cheap), at emag it is now 589, at about 300 I would put ... thanks in advance for understanding

        • When I did the tutorial were 3 pieces broached at the price of 319 lei. It seems that flew quickly.

  • Looking forward detailed settings of the router, I AC68U top model, the menu is asemanator.Pe I guess I'm interested in settings for VPN especially but not only.
    I Fiberlink 500 from RCS-RDS, but the speed we managed it was around 45MB / s wired and wireless approx 40MB (in standard AC), which is still pretty far up.
    Apart from the situation when the speed test from RCS I show speeds below 300Mb / s situation that clearly can not exceed speeds above I would like to understand why when the tester their speed Sietse the RCS it shows 460Mb / s reusescsa I still do not exceed 40MB / s (about 320 Mb / s) and the average speed is somewhere in 25-30MB / s (200-240Mb / s) ?!

    • The tests we have done downloading large files (minimum 3Gb) from torrents (uTorrent) and 38-speed 40MB was rarely achieved in no way constant.Setarile to utorrent are those made by older tutorial on this site !

    • You'll never get maximum speed from one interface.
      Besides we transferred files and overhead, that some data points that help to communicate with each transfer.
      If you want to minimize overhead can enable Jumbo Fames, but feel it an advantage if the other point has Jumbo Frames.
      We'll talk in more detail in the next tutorial about speed and what should matter in the end.

  • As far as I know, the largest bard width in the country is 150MB / s at UPC. Otherwise, the one of 100MB / s rented from Romtelecom predominates. These bandwidths are divided by 8 and that will be the effective width of which benefits. So the maximum download speeds will be 18,75MB / s and 12,5Mb / s respectively. Personally I have a line of 100 but 11MB / s was the maximum speed I downloaded. In conclusion a router of 300Mb / s is sufficient. I do not say that the one presented is not good but I can say that it is really great. By the way, Cristi you gave up the D-Link 655? Personally, I consider that the wifi speed is also lost if we use an encrypted connection. I don't see the point as long as there are no platforms in the area that would know how to use a Backtrack. You can use a hidden wifi network whose name (SID) can actually function as a password.

  • I have a router Asus RT-66R AC (U) very good, we had no problems with it. But for better performance, more features, ASUS firmware version recommend Merlin. It is an upgraded version of the original, the same interface, but with more options as SSH, Telnet, etc. Instead of integrated download manager, I recommend installing the firmware Transmission Merlin. Find video tutorials on YouTube. I have a seedbox several months, works non-stop with no problems.

  • Perhaps only if you have been out of the country, not knowing that RCS-RDS already launched several months subscriptions FiberLink 1000 (theoretical speed up to 1000Mb / s = 125MB / s) and FiberLink 500 (maximum 500Mb / s = 62,5MB / s) !

      • May children 2 years you google search and I'm speeds and 500 not only has RDS and UPC and Romtelecom but has 200 speed (the cities) fiber until now. DATIVE an update to the brain and information before you post something

        • I look a picture with your download speed of torrent.Dacă Update and you're a little map that I present you please seek speeds that pomeneşti.Rămân yet the idea that advertising is the soul of commerce.http://www.netindex.com/download/2,9/Romania/ How to put it I think you're 2 years experience and I could do (concrete).

    • My dear, I have seen the global statistics where our country is at the forefront. Analyzing these results provided by those from OOKLA and personally performing a test found without any surprise that the truth is different and does not coincide with the ads.Who has a download speed on a torrent client greater than 18000KB / s to put a capture of screen (without being edited). I can put with 11 Mb / s but also with my speed now: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/775x830q90/r/743/XezEma.png Below ... you can see the real speed.

      • axelluny, I just stated above as a download from torrents constantly 25-30MB / s = 25 000-30 000 KB / s, subscription Fiberlink 500 (500MB / s) .Asta means about 200-250 Mb / s who it is far below the maximum limit.
        But to say that no one surpasses the speeds they reach you (or maximum 18MB / s) is an aberration how high you! I will add later and some printscren sites to convince yourself!

  • It is interesting and worth the money for this router, I saw that without promises it is around 540 550 but for promises and 400 350 lei I mean unsealed. It seems to me that I will buy a good one next month, it is worth the money and if you stop to think about what the price can do, it's ok. than to get a bad router at 70 80 lei better a better one and which has many functions. but I have a question if I have a router from romtelecom and I count on it via cable, won't the wierles get into conflict or something?

  • Suggestion, cleaning screens of different kinds including matte, window solution, brandy, windshield solution or brake fluid :)))), with napkins, pieces of carpet .... :)))
