Review: AiMesh very easy to set up - I purchased this to expand my network in the bedroom. The current Asus RT-AC88U is working fine however it clearly needed support in the bedroom. Initially i thought that an Asus Repeater would suffice - RP-55U but boy was i mistaken. it was a frustrating experience with the AiMesh and I was about to give up. The RP-55U investment of AED 200 was a clear waste. Found the RT-AX55 and bought it with the intention of returning it in case if the RP-55U worked. however once I set up the AiMesh on the RT-AX55, I fell in love with the ease of configuration. It truly took less than 5 mins to set up the AiMesh and get a good wifi coverage in the bedroom. Including in the attached bathroom too. The features of the Asus in general are very satisfactory. Now to figure out how to disable the lights in both routers once we turn in.
Review: Lo adquirí a principios del pasado mes de Julio y, a 6 meses de estarlo utilizando, puedo emitir los siguientes comentarios: A FAVOR: + Fácil instalación, aunque para sacar todo el provecho (el 100%) a este equipo y sus características, es necesario tener conocimiento de redes y su seguridad, puedes configurarlo desde tu celular descargando la aplicación correspondiente. + Soporta un buen número de dispositivos conectados, he conectado hasta 15 dispositivos, todos conectados y funcionando al mismo tiempo y, la velocidad de conexión tanto de carga como descarga NO "se baja". + La cobertura inalámbrica, tanto en la banda de 2.4 como de 5 Ghz. es muy buena, alcanzando en mi caso en la de 5 Ghz. hasta los 12 metros a la redonda (con una pared de por medio). + Cuenta con herramientas de seguridad (Trend-Micro para malware y AiProtection Pro para los equipos de la red) que monitorean los dispositivos que se conectan a la LAN creada con este router, así como supervisan todo el tráfico de datos que vienen desde y salen hacia Internet, además de poder establecer políticas para control parental. + Se puede actualizar su firmware con regularidad, para contar con mayor protección a los equipos y estabilidad a la red de área local (LAN). + En mi caso me permitió configurar y dar seguimiento a los puertos de Internet, para poder colocar detrás de este router un servidor casero (dispositivo NAS) con servicios web (http y https) y web-dav. + Lo he tenido funcionando las 24 horas los 7 días de la semana y la velocidad de conexión se ha mantenido estable en todo momento, lo que me ha permitido prácticamente no tener que reiniciar mi conexión a Internet hasta en un mes. EN CONTRA: + Después de no reiniciarlo por casi dos meses, detecté que no me reconocía uno de los puertos ethernet, pero al reiniciar este router volvió el puerto correspondiente a funcionar con normalidad. + Su precio me parece un poco alto, pero por las características con que cuenta, bien vale la pena la inversión. CONCLUSIÓN: Puedo recomendar este equipo para usarlo como gestor de una red LAN casera y su conexión a Internet, en lugar del equipo que proporciona el ISP (proveedor de acceso a Internet), el cual en muchas ocasiones no es actualizado de forma automática y su seguridad es muy básica (en mi caso tengo un ONT de fibra óptica), por lo que todos los dispositivos de casa en lugar de conectarlos al equipo ONT, los tengo conectados a este router Asus, que espero y siga funcionando como hasta la fecha. ¡Gracias por su atención!
