Asus
has a reputation for making the right consumer products and the Taiwanese
company - known for its laptops and motherboards - has tested its wireless
products. The BRT-AC828 is its only corporate router and the unit is attached
to many boxes, even for small businesses looking for more than 10 connections
at a time.
Granted,
it is very expensive, but it packs in the kind of functionality you would never
expect from a router such as an M.2 slot to install an SSD to make it a small
NAS. Much more here includes support for RADIUS, the ability to integrate four
1 Gb Ethernet ports into a substantial 4 Gb (all with eight powerful Gigabit
Ethernet ports) and support for LTE as a back-end connection. supported to
improve stability: the router already has two 1 Gbps WAN ports that can be used
together or independently.
As
one would expect from the top of the Range Router, it offers 4x4 MU-MIMO and
theoretically accelerates up to 2.6 Gbps with open space coverage up to 100 m
(although it is on the 2.4 GHz band). Asus has also partnered with Trend Micro
to provide an integrated security package with protection.
