a shame sense linksys routers used to be verry blind friendly

great view to have, linksys routers are horrible for accessibility. i
had one of there new ac routers and forget about accessibility. maybe
2% out of 100% is accessible, so you basically cant do anything with
it. i never used asus before, i'm sure there very good as well.

If you’re happy with what you’re using then fine and if it works for
you then all well and good.
All I’m saying is that - if you have the choice and you’re looking for
something new or to upgrade to something good - then the Airport
Extreme - as a new Router - is not worth considering given what else
is available and I stick by that view.
Yes, the setup is easy but just because the Airport Extreme has an
easy setup doesn’t mean its performance is the best.
Actually let the truth be told, all the Asus Wi-Fi Routers I’ve ever
used also have a very easy setup wizard which will have you up and
running in around 2 minutes so if Asus has an easy setup wizard then
I’m willing to bet that other brands do too.
With the Asus Routers you don’t need to download any special utility
for windows, the minute your computer is connected to your Router the
wizard will show up if the Router hasn’t already been configured.

i have 2 apple airport extreme's and i'd never change to anything
else. the great thing is they just work, no issues, they work
perfectly with the iphone, 100% totally accessible, there is not one
thing that isnt accessible on the airport extreme. setup is the
easiest ever.

I did some further research on the Apple AirPort Extreme and
unfortunately I was absolutely right regarding the price of the thing.
In Australia it can be purchased for $299 and the Asus RTAC3200 in
Australia is $349 so I need not say any more on the subject <smile>,
the Asus obviously being a far better piece of equipment and I’d
gladly pay the $50 extra.

Hi!
I’d thought it would support it because my newer airport extreme
does support this protocol.
However you mentioned that it was a bottle neck for data.
Do you have a very big appartment?
I have not so i wonder if this makes any difference?
I also wonder how it can be a bottle neck for data but maybe this is
ot for this list?
I have had problems with my broadband connection which is 8 gb dsl
so i am changing to a 100 mbit cable modem and another carrier next
month.
We’ll see how this works because i have had problems with the
swedish radio streaming but not other streams.

Okay, just checekd the Apple Airport Express on the Apple web site
and unfortunately the unit doesn't seem to support the AAC Wireless
Protocol, a shame but N is certainly better than B or G and the
fact that the Express supports both 2.$ and 5G radio bands is
helpful, use the 5G band if possible because its far less crowded.

Do you still use Macs? I have an airport extreme router that I've had
for several years. It is behind the times, in that it doesn't have
the
AC protocol. Then again, I'm using an xp box to type this note, so
there you go. Anyway, one of the things I have appreciated about that
Apple router is that the airport utility is so easy to use from the
Mac. That has not always been true of all routers I've seen over the
years. And it, the router that is, works well with Windoes,
android and
Apple devices of various flavors. But as stated earlier, it is
long in
the tooth and could undoubtedly stand to be updated to something more
robust that has the newer protocol for higher speed and better
distance
etc. I have a couple of older airport expresses connected to sound
systems in various parts of the house for airplay streaming from
Apple
devices. There again, having that airport extreme as the head router,
so to speak, has worked wonderfully.
