ASUS routers are one of the most popular network devices. With their help, you can easily and simply organize a local area network, which will consist of wired and air segments. The products of this Taiwanese manufacturer are distinguished by a high level of service and excellent reliability. Any device with the ASUS logo symbolizes quality that has been tested by time. In each of the segments there is a product of this manufacturer. Each of them is a brilliant creation of ingenious engineering - they perfectly combine rich functionality and an affordable price.
In the initial segment, ASUS routers are represented by many models, but the most popular among them is the RT-N10 LX. Its functionality is enough to organize a home network. Also, it is quite enough for a small office, in the park of which there are 5-7 computers. There are 4 standard LAN ports for organizing a wired area in it. The maximum bandwidth is not bad 150 Mb / s. All possible standards for transmitting information over a wireless network are supported.
The mid-level decoration is ASUS WI-FI router model RT-N12LX. The difference between the previous device and this is the increased throughput of 2 times, and it is 300 Mbps. Also, due to the use of 2 antennas, the range is significantly increased. The scope of such network devices is already medium-sized offices and quite demanding home users. Improved functionality in this case has led to the fact that such a network device is much more expensive than the junior representative of this brand.
The flagship among network devices such as ASUS routers is the RT-N16. Its maximum bandwidth is the same as that of the RT-N12LX, and is 300 Mbps. But this router has an additional 2 USB ports, the ability to organize a print server. All this allows you to turn this router into the computing heart of your local area network. An additional third antenna increases the signal range. Most often, such network devices are used in small cafes and bars where there is a WI-FI icon.
Another important advantage of a device such as an ASUS router is its configuration, which is simple and can be done on its own. At the first stage, we assemble the circuit according to the instructions. We connect the network interface and power wires. Next, apply voltage to the router. After the download is completed, we turn on the browser on the PC or laptop and enter 192.168.1.1 (the network address of the device) in the address bar. In the window that appears, enter the username and password. They can be clarified in the instruction manual, which is always included with it (usually it is the username - admin and the password - admin). ASUS routers are not only equipped with instructions, but also with the necessary switching elements and a warranty card. Then in the settings we set the necessary parameters (addressing, protection, etc.). Then you need to reboot this network device. At the end of this procedure, the network is configured, ready for use.
