Wow talka bout easy to connect.

Just plugged in, logged in via my tablet, and set the SSIDs and passwords. The DSi caused a minor problem, but pressing the WPS button and they connected.

All devices started with a lowish power level then they all went to max levels.

I have plugged a USB HDD into it and I can stream HD to all my devices.

hows range and speeds? and have you tested in placed where connectivity could cause problems (far away etc.)

Range is good I can go to the top of my hill and still get a good signal some 50+ foot away.

The only problem I have at the moment is that my HTC Desire S & Asus Transformer Tf101 tablet cannot see the 5Ghz part.

5Ghz is set up and broadcasting.

The SSIDs are different.

Is "N" 5Ghz?

Re: New Router help
 
those two don't support 5GHz

Hom3r 15-07-2012 21:30

Re: New Router help
 
That explains it, I thought N was 5ghz only, because my lappy doesn't support N but sees the 5ghz

Hom3r have you or are you going to test running Tomato on it?

I don't see the need ATM.

I tested the speed test on my wifi, with my old one I hit around 15meg, on the new router I hit 19.5 meg, not bad on a 20meg connection :D

Re: New Router help
 
20megs :shocked: i thought you was on one of the higher tiers.

Asus should be working on a firmware upgrade right now. Theres bugs and the 2.4GHz band needs to be worked on. This after they stabilized the router with the current firmware. in other words the router isnt functioning as good as it should be.
