Tutorial wireless router Asus RT-AC56U

Hi friends, today I will make you acquainted with the best router that I had so far, is Asus RT-AC56U or short AC56U.
It is a powerful wireless router has the same features and options that are found on or AC68U AC87U but at a lower price. Anyway you can do with 1900 or 2400 Mbps and you can not with 1200 Mbps.
Currently there are no NICs that can embarrass the router, meaning you can not give up pozibil band.
With dual core processor ARM Cortex A9, AC56U can result in back 300.000 theoretical connections simultaneously is virtually impossible to make him kneel.
Available bandwidth is enough for any current device with wifi, 300 Mbps in 2.4 Ghz and 900 5 Mbps baseband Ghz.
Fastest mine is Oneplus One device that is connected to the router and got a speed of 390 Mbps.
The desktop connection is top speed and 1 ping ms something I have not met any other router.

Everyone is talking about Asus routers that are heated excessively. To be honest, I have concluded that the router would overcook. Face temperature is around 35 degrees and back around 45 degrees. In the nuclei temperature is between 55 65 degrees Celsius and rarely reach 70 degrees, but for short periods (temperature taken from the terminal).
We have to be realistic, we are talking about a device with dual core ARM processor at 800 Mhz, passive cooling that comes with a lot of functions and that simultaneously powers two USB devices (USB 2.0 and UBS 3.0), a 3G modem and a hard disk 2.5 inch external. I don't think it's too hot, but I know for sure it's a very "hot" router.
Special features seldom found on other routers!

1. VPN Server
2. FTP Server
3. Server iTunes
4. Samba Server
5. Different configurations Dual Wan (Wan + Lan, Wan + USB)
6. Support 3G modems and 4G
7. Print server
8. Download manager (torrent, http, emule)
9. 2.4Ghz and simultaneously 5Ghz
10 broad support for custom firmware
11 6 guest wifi connections
12 support Time Machine backup (MacOS)
13 anti DoS Firewall
14 advanced traffic monitoring
15 Parental control with multiple filters

Asus RT-AC56U Worth?
Undoubtedly, it is a router that covers the needs of any user. Never since I have not seen this router Loader (loading sign) on youtube, even at maximum quality watch.
The only problems occurred when he fell provider network fortunately 3G modem connected automatically and we did not even 2 minutes without net.
Asus RT-AC56U can do almost any work environment (indoors), no matter how crowded it is, has hardware that help him to do that without sweat.
Where other routers have shown the limits of the Asus RT-AC56U shone, managing bandwidth and data packets like a champ.
Recommendations:
ASUS Dual-Band Wireless-AC1200 USB3.0 Gigabit Router, 802.11ac, 867Mbps (5GHz) 802.11n, 300 Mbps (2.4GHz) 2.4Ghz / 5Ghz con-current dualband, ASUS AiCloud / AiRadar / VPN Server / USB Printer Server / FTP server / Dual-core CPU
However if you have enough budget AC56U will recommend another router, as good, just give up advanced features. however most users do not use advanced features. (Good for Gigabit RDS)
ASUS Black Diamond RT-N15U 300 Wireless-N Multi-Media Home Gigabit cheaper - Router, Gigabit Ethernet, USB Printer sharing, 3-In-1 (Router / Range Extender / Access Point), 4 Guest SSID
If you have very large budget and you want (the best for the money), I recommend AC68U.
Asus RT-AC68U Dual-Band Gigabit Router Wireless-AC1900, 3.0 USB, IEEE 802.11 / b / g / n
Finally, if you last fitza in the field, will recommend the fastest router in the world (the best of the best), which has the largest coverage is AC87U

  • Cristi welcome
    yes sir who wants to learn will learn because we've shown that you're passionate about knowledge and the
    this (so do not see that make some grumpy malcontents)
    this tutorial I kinda let me inside out (admit beyond me)
    is for who is very technical and has a lot of patience so for advanced
    thank you

  • hello cristi, my question is if I can simultaneously use the internet from the "neighbor from 2" to whom I know the password and the usual chain connection, by cable. thank you

    • Options for dual wan are:
      1. Wan port + one of the Lan ports
      2. Wan + USB port (modem or 3G 4G)
      If you want to take the wireless net from the "neighbor" you have to put the router in Repeater mode.

  • I have a net from UPC and they gave me a router, a Hitron ... I'm still at home. How do I connect this router to have a net in the whole house?

    • If you replace the router from Asus UPC as well. If you can not, connect Asus wan to Lan's other router.

      • Yes, but this way I actually have two networks, one with their router (with Hitron) with 192.168.0.1 and another with my router with 192 168 1.1 .... I would try to turn Asus into AP, or, if I manage to switch Hitron to Bridge, cancel part of the router and stay only with the modem from Hitron and use Asus as a router ...

  • What are the differences between the computer and transfer the Zyxel NAS and the computer and hard drive connected to the router?

  • Hello.
    After the first tutorial about this router I tried to find out about how it coverage. With very few exceptions is said to have fairly low coverage due to lack of external antennas. How are the house and I have a TP Link WDR3600 (the one given in custody RDS), are not satisfied with its coverage so I want to replace it.
    The router got the promotion was an option but the problem I retain coverage. In this tutorial, the min. 30 says that might occur some problems between the router and TP Link.
    Get over it I want to ask if it is possible to use a Tp Link WR841ND (who sit around the cellar anyway) as signal extension (do not know if that means I use the repeater or acess point) but no cable connected the only wireless router.
    Thank you and thank you for tutorial.

    • AC56U has a very good coverage. Better than my old D-link DIR 655. Sure, maybe AC68U or AC87U (higher price) have better coverage, but know it's not always very high coverage is indicated. Rather than have an expensive router with great range, better a cheaper router with two acess point's, and believe me that's bigger coverage you have and extra strong signal everywhere.
      Routers with antennas too strong, gives a lot of radiation into the environment.
      As I said-n tutorial, AC56U is perfect for small and medium flats and houses. For large properties recommend using a network of good acess point varieties to cover extremities property.

  • Hi Cristi, thanks for the tutorial, my question was if you have a webcam connected to the USB port and you capture the HDD connected to the USB port on the router, and if you did can you do a tutorial.

  • I have a new Acer laptop and it a couple of days my boots normally until the 80% and after that "inebuneste" blow load it and hear the beep that by not charging and changes its brightness as it passes on the battery and after the load is inacrca a second after not and so ... Phases is that load so move 80% but why do that do not know please help me from your heart, it is innervated can not use it ...

    • See that they don't have an application like "Battery Health", these applications limit the maximum battery charge. It's a good thing, over time the battery will last longer. But let there be no defect ...
      It is possible that he did Bios exist such a setting.

      • I don't have a warranty, I don't have any battery application, until a few days ago I didn't have any problems with the battery, and I don't think it's because of the battery because it holds exactly as at the beginning, only it charges up to 80 % and then the charging stops for a few seconds, and then it starts again and so on "it stops and starts again" up to 97% but I noticed that the blue charging light is no longer done and it does not exceed 97% .. .. please help me ..

        • Hi Vladutz try to use the laptop without battery for a few days and if everything goes ok then discard that the charger has a problem (the problem may be the charger), if the problem persists it may be a windows error, reinstall windows, if and after reinstalling windows continues the problem then the battery has a problem and needs to be replaced.

  • Cristi can connect to wireless as did receive a laptop wirelessly to the internet and all you can give away? As did Netis, I had myself a bulit roter Netis and when I tried to do the last update, the 100% blocked and hallelujah never went, even though I was connected by wire.
