Source: Digitec GalaxusIn comparison with Netgear Orbi and Linksys Velop, which also rely on three frequency bands, Asus Lyra has to admit defeat: The WLAN performance is also high, but the Asus is weaker in terms of range. The app is clearly laid out, but some functions are complicated to explain.
Asus also offers its Lyra system as a "mini" version without a separate WLAN module for the backbone. However, because this only saves around 60 euros, the full-grown version is usually the cleverer choice. In terms of throughput, Lyra is roughly on a par with the similarly equipped Velop system, but the energy consumption could be lower...
As a tri-band set, Lyra should perform somewhat better. A firmware update could possibly contribute to this.
With Lyra, we hope for an update that eliminates teething problems.
