ASUS RT-AC5300 Review
Key features
The ASUS RT-AC5300 wireless router comes with support for both 2.4 and 5GHz wireless networks. While using the 5GHz network, you will have no issue in streaming a UHD movie. File sharing and gaming will pose no problems as well, being less demanding than a 4K stream. The Adaptive QoS feature of the router gives you the possibility of prioritizing whatever action you want to enjoy low latency, such as gaming or instant messaging. AiProtection is designed to free up your resources, by safely disabling services such as the antivirus.
Introduction
The ASUS RT-AC5300 is a high-end DSL router that provides support for the latest developments in terms of online gaming and content streaming. If you are interested in watching 4K movies using a wireless connection, there are not too many devices that can help you in the way this router is able to do it. Its design altogether is a futuristic one, and the performance lives up to the looks, so you can be sure that you are paying for a high-quality product that will not need a replacement too soon. WTFast provides access to the Gamers Private Network if you have the ASUS RT-AC5300 router, meaning that you can enjoy a better experience during online gaming. Your ping is drastically reduced, while lost packets are almost non-existent anymore, thanks to the improvements offered by the GPN. Due to the features of this modem router, you can one-up your gaming sessions. This feature is available regardless of the platform you decide to game on.
What is the performance ?
You might be wondering why the ASUS RT-AC5300 features eight Wi-Fi antennas. The answer is quite simple: four of them are designed to receive data, while the other four send it. AiRadar is a technology introduced in order to avoid signal loss in the household, even if you are far away from the Wi-Fi router and other devices require more resources at that given moment. Each 5Ghz band provides speeds of up to 2167MHz, and these two bands work in parallel with the 2.4GHz one, which reaches speeds of up to 1000Mbps. Your devices are automatically directed towards one of the bands, based on the content they need to work with. Your TV, which needs to stream a UHD movie, will gain access to a 5GHz band, while your smartphone will be directed o the 2.4GHz band.
Is it easy to set-up ?
Despite being an intimidating device for a newcomer, the ASUS RT-AC5300 can be set up with ease, especially if you follow the quick installation guide. Of course, tinkering with the advanced options will take a while to get perfectly, but if you know what you are doing, you will have quite an easy time in the long run. Firmware upgrades can be done in a blink of an eye, requiring just a few clicks from your side.
Conclusion: Should I buy it ?
The ASUS RT-AC5300 is a high-end wireless router which you will definitely enjoy having at home, as long as you are willing to pay a premium price for its features.
