Hello everybody Dane asked me to forward this on to the group, so here goes.
Begin forwarded message: From: Dane Trethowan <[email protected]> Subject: Asus RTAC3200 Router Date: 15 January 2016 at 16:32:40 GMT To: Gordon Smith <[email protected]> Late last year I upgraded my Asus RTN56U router to an Asus RTAC3200 monster! I had been using the RTN56U for over 2 years and had been extremely happy with the connectivity and performance the RTN56u offered though it soon became clear to me given I keep up with all the latest trends in Routers as a hobby and interest that my RTN56U - whilst very good - wasn’t outstanding. Given that my life on my Network pretty much removes around streaming and devices being in all sorts of places it seemed that I should get a Router that performed well in as many regards as possible and had a good feature set, the RTAC3200 has all this though the price tag made my pocket ouch! The RTAC3200 Router in Australia isn’t the easiest Router to come by and cost $349 Australian. So wo do you get? Well a whole treasure box of stuff to be going on with, 4 Gigabit LAN ports and a Gigabit WAN port, 1 2.4GHZ and 2 5.0GHZ Wi-Fi bands that can be configured completely independently of each other or you can use the Smart Wi-Fi features provided by the Router - the idea of this being that the Router guides connected devices to the strongest broadcast signal available -. To top this off the RTAC3200 boasts some pretty powerful hardware in that box such as a Duo-Cor 1.0GHZ processor with 256MB DDR RAM and 128MB for Flash Storage, in other words you’re dealing with the power of a small server setup. In the Specifications for the Router Asus claim it capable of handling 500,000 data operations per second, that doesn’t mean much to most people I guess but for those of us who study this sort of thing it means that there are far less likely chances of data bottlenecks being created when multiple devices are connected to a network thus translating into a smoother Network traffic stream and a better performing network for all to notice. Features abound with the RTAC3200 including support for VPN servers and clients, USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, Universal Plug and Play/DLNA compatibility, Asus aIcloud storage for sharing files remotely from the Router and even an IOS App to put icing on the cake. Its always a problem for me writing about a device like the Asus RTAC3200, what do I write about and where do I start writing?
