Asus N66U Wireless Router goes GigaBit

Listen to article

Ang DSL/WiFi router ay isa sa mga kagamitang nasa bahay na talagang mahalaga ngunit bihirang mapansin. Ang ideya ay habang gumagana ang aparato, hindi na natin gaanong iniintindi kung maganda ang itsura o mahusay ang pagganap nito.

Sa kabilang banda, may mga tao talagang mapili pagdating sa mga router -- may Gigabit connectivity, WiFi-N, may USB ports at sumusuporta sa P2P downloads.

Ang N66u ay kabilang sa mga pinakabagong gigabit router mula sa Asus. Gigabit sa kahulugang ang kabuuang bandwidth na kaya nitong dalhin ay umabot hanggang 900Mbps (o 0.9 gigabit/s na halos katumbas ng kategoryang gigabit).

Bagaman ang bandwidth na iyon ay hindi talaga nagrerepresenta ng mas mabilis na koneksyon sa internet (dahil nakadepende pa rin ito sa iyong ISP), ipinapakita ng bilang na iyon kung gaano karaming bandwidth ang magagamit kapag ginagamit mo ang lokal na network para sa paglipat ng mga file at streaming – tulad ng paglilipat ng malalaking file sa network, pagpapatakbo ng malaking kapasidad na NAS, o streaming ng full HD na nilalaman sa iyong TV.

The dual-band router operates in two frequencies – the usual 2.4GHz used by most wireless routers and the higher 5.0GHz band.

Ang N66u ay may kakaibang disenyo – matibay, matatag na mga linya, matigas na polycarbonate na katawan at isang diamond-back na pattern sa itaas na bahagi.

Sa likod, may 4 na LAN ports, isang WAN port, at 2 USB ports (para sa pagkakabit ng mga printer at external storage). Mayroon din itong probisyon para sa tatlong (3) external na antena na magbibigay ng mas malawak na lakas ng signal.

The USB ports allow for file sharing, printing sharing and 3G sharing (you can plug a 3G router and use it as source of internet connection). It also supports P2P downloading (which stores to the attached USB HDD or NAS) via the Download Master.

Ang Asus N66u ay matagal nang nasa merkado at nagkakahalaga ng humigit-kumulang Php9k. Narinig ko na ito ay isang mainit na item at hindi nagtatagal ang suplay sa mga istante.

It’s overkill for me. But it is a nice router. I’m just not the right guy for it.

Can you connect Pocket WiFi devices such as Huawei E587 or the ZTE MF80 on this router? Or, are the USB ports just for those USB 3G Sticks (such as Globe’s Tattoo Stick)?

Technically yes, as long as you hook it up via the USB and use the pocket wifi as a modem.
