Finally ASUS RP AX with Swiss plug!
I use the RP AX 58 in my remote kitchen as a wired access point. Roaming works perfectly and speed is excellent. It employees perfectly in a network with a total of 8 nodes. An AX-58U is used as the main router.
Pro
- Swiss plug, no contactor like predecessor RP AX 56
- Small, handy and inconspicuous on the white wall
- AX3000, theoretically very high speed
- Gives LAN connection
- Full Internet speed connected via LAN! >880MBit
- As a mesh over long distances still > 500Mbit
- Power consumption under relax <4W, wired 3.8W
- Low price 71CHF
- Easy to integrate and manage via ASUS app
- Three-pin socket can be fully utilised with standard cable
Contra
- A second LAN port would be an improvement and would open up new possibilities
- No WLAN off button
Keeps losing reception
I have all network components from Asus. Nevertheless, the repeater keeps losing contact.
Pro
- Design
- Installation
Contra
- Loses contact with the router far too often
Gaming class brand product
Pro
- Quick and easy initial commissioning
- Good range in AP mode
Super product !!!
Would buy the product again
Pro
- Simple installation
- Good range (extender upstairs, router downstairs, reception also in the basement)
Contra
- Poor reception in the garden
Requires app for set-up
I did not expect this from ASUS. I wanted to replace my TP-Link (manufacturer from China) access point with the ASUS device (manufacturer from Taiwan). Normally quite simple: plug in the Ethernet cable, plug it into the socket, call up the IP address with a web browser and set it up.
However, this is different with this ASUS. First of all, you need a special app from ASUS, which is annoying for advanced users. The only annoying thing is that the app then refuses to carry out the configuration (see screenshot). After several attempts and restarts of both the router and the iPhone, I gave up. The device was routinised - my first case of this kind.
Internet via the access point worked straight away with the Ethernet cable plugged in, but without any settings (password, SSID name, etc.) this makes no sense. Although a web interface is documented on the ASUS website, there was no access option in my case.
Furthermore, "Made in China" is printed on the device, while Digitec states Taiwan as the country of origin. Although ASUS is a Taiwanese manufacturer, some devices are produced in China. Not entirely harmless when it comes to network technology.Pro
- Brand manufacturer from Taiwan
Contra
- Requires app for set-up
- App did not work
- No web access
- Made in China
Works - simple
