    • @jamesjohnson2737

      Fido, with this router, wtfast really isn't necessary because you can manually allocate a dedicated amount of bandwidth to your gaming and prioritize it over other connections or users of your wifi.

    • @TallyHoTech
      @TallyHoTech  6 лет назад +1

      Ok, what is important to know is this will not make your internet connection any better. You ping and connection speed when wired will be no different than when connects to a $10 switch. This will give you better wireless transfer speeds, wireless coverage ( client to client) and your t has all the gamer first features to prioritise your gaming but I t won’t make your internet connection any better. You net speed and ping is what it is and you might want to try another isp if it’s slow

    Is this normal or should I return it?

    @Western Gents United. i hope you see this comment im in QLD and we got NBN FTTN and we we have 100down and 40up so the top end modem we got from optus cant handle the 16 wifi devises that are conneted "not all of then all get used at the same time" but when every one is home there is so much random lag when people get on are modem literally locks up and drops all internet for about 2 mints and then works again and even on discord when my friends are talking it randomly cuts out and then comes back in. will this modem fix that over loaded problem? i think the one we have has a single core CPU but theirs literally nothing on the modem not even a PCB pic. hope you can let me know if this will help in are problem. ill be streaming on twitchTV so i hope that helps to since my stream is also having the internet loss.. BTW sorry about my spelling i have bad dyslexia

    • @TallyHoTech
      @TallyHoTech  6 лет назад

      Okay as long as your issue it not all the bandwidth being used. This will have no problem with 16 clients just split them over the different bands. In fact there are cheaper ones that will handle your needs but this is the king.

    • @bizarreentertainment7308
      @bizarreentertainment7308 6 лет назад

      wow you anserd me.. lol thats cool also you did it at 12am lmao. yea we have plenty of internet are line gets 94down and 38up. but yea i wanna get this becuase if im gonna spend more then $300 ill just get the best. also with streaming on twitch at 1080p 60fps at 6000bitrate i want a solid connection point at the home. so then if theres problems then i know its not gonna be here and it will be the shitting VDSL lines on the street. and then Optus or NBN can fix that them self and the techs cant say its are modem ill just say its $600 and they will usly go "oh ok then"

    My RT-AC5300 that I bought this last summer 2018 came with bad antenna connectors on the unit. It took till September to get to the point that it could go in on an RMA. I just got it back this past week and they replaced it with another RT-AC5300. It came out of the box brain dead and finally this morning I had to re-flash the unit using their restore tool to flash it. Then to get it to work on my internet service the ASUS tech on the phone had me plug it into my Netgear router as an Access Point cause he could not get it to see my ISPs Ethernet network cable. But I told him hey my Netgear routers see this Ethernet from my ISPs network switch. Not a good showing for ASUS sending me a brain dead unit and not a good thing having to use a Netgear to get it to work at all. Jimmy, WX9DX

    MU-MIMO has nothing to do with legacy devices not slowing things down, in fact your devices will need to support MU-MIMO to benefit from it. However having 2 seperate 5Ghz bands DOES mean you can have slower devices on one band, and faster/ newer devices on the other to avoid the slowdown.

    I purchased the asus GT ROG a/c5300 router because I wanted the fastest wifi I could get . I pay for 300mbps/20mbps from my ISP. First off, the router worked beautifully! DL speed was getting 245. I was cool with that. Then, I noticed the prompt for a firmware update. After I updated the firmware , the router took a complete dump! I could not get any speed greater than 12mbps DL. I was pissed! I took it back to Frys and got my $400 back. I then purchased the lesser RT5300 as featured in this video. I also paired it with the Asus PCE AC88 network card. OMG< my sh$t is fast! I had a party at my house and 30 connections to the 2.4ghz band. I tested the speed at speedtest.net. My DL on my desktop was consistently 84 to 91mbps DL, and 20 to 23 up. However, on both 5ghz bands, my DL speeds were consistently 295 to 351mbps DL! 24mbps upload. So then, I tried to push it. I opened 25 youtube videos simultaneously, in addition to the 30 guest connections, my son was also online gaming via ps4. I couldn't believe that I was still getting 350mbps on both 5ghz bands. Man, I love this freakin router! Btw..., I'm being prompted to update my firmware but f#ck that sh!t!

    Got a couple of questions.
    1. Is this a sponsored video?
    2. Is this affiliate advertising?
    3. Was this unit provided by Asus? If not, where was it purchased?
    4. What was the firmware version number this was tested with.
    5. How long was this unit tested for? Did you run any particular games on it? If so, what was their latency , etc?
    6. Have you tried sending and receiving data using wired and wireless connections within the network between different devices?
    7. Have you tried playing games while the network was being used? Ie netflix, youtube, traffic within lan.
    I am interested to know about the unit you got, I have seen quite a bit of complaints for this router on amazon, youtube and other sites.

    • @TallyHoTech
      @TallyHoTech  7 лет назад +2

      All I say is ASUS sent my this review unit (not to keep and not sponsored). Its the same as retail and it has the latest firmware. A friend purchased this and I can confirm it has the same firmware OOTB. He had had no issues either.
      I tested gaming, streaming 4k and transferring files to a USB HDD and a NAS.
      Maybe people that complained had a old firmware or thought that if they get this router their 56k download will turn into fiber and stream 4k?

    Ive just bought this router as I'm completely fed up with my netgear orbi mesh system. That this totally sucks. Keeps dropping wifi on all my connected devices, so im constantly rebooting the system.. After much research, looks like theres a lot of people out there with the same problem. So ive decided to trash the orbi and go for this beast. I just hope my connections on all my devices are rock solid. If that happens I'll be a happy bunny, but as far as my opinion NETGEAR ORBI IS SHITE!!!!

    I also have this router. While it may look cool it is not up to the standards that ASUS is know for. My router is very unstable even with the latest firmware. As a gamer I would not buy this. All the fancy gaming stuff they loaded into this router makes the router even more unstable. I would save the pain and money for the time being. As of right now this is a no go in my book.

    • @TallyHoTech
      @TallyHoTech  7 лет назад

      Very interesting. Thanks for letting us know. Strange the variance in performances

    • @briank6894
      @briank6894 7 лет назад

      I think the reason for the variance in one having good luck or bad luck with this router is if one bought this router early on one is more then likely to have issues. I have a funny feeling if one purchases one that has recently been manufactured one has a better chance of having luck with it. I think somewhere in production they have corrected some of the issues that myself and others have had. Don't get me wrong it is a beast of a router but it does me no good in the condition it is operating at currently. This is very out of character for ASUS to launch a product with this type of issue. Worst part is when I called there support line they didn't even know they made this particular router. They had to look it up! I lost the warm fussy feeling quick!

    • @VinnyTuberino
      @VinnyTuberino 6 лет назад +1

      Brian K I sincerely doubt there's any variance in hardware. My money is on different configurations (eg. IPS or QoS), different firmware, and/or different user experience levels. For example, it's common to see "I returned it twice for the same issue [like LAN connection kept dropping]." Doubtful that sort of defect could be present in sufficient quantities that these dopes keep picking "defective" routers at the same local Best Buy. Also seems like more recent comments (and, presumably, updated firmware) no longer complain of LAN connection drops.

    • @zagan1
      @zagan1 6 лет назад

      Yeah I'd say it's people setting things and have no fucking clue what they are turning on or off.
      Like the disconnect problem you bring is probably people setting the router to drop not allowed MAC devices based around stopping hackers, but don't add their own devices MAC addresses.
      And then hit ok then all their own devices get dropped because the router sees them as non allowed devices, so it follows what they set but the people don't get it and think the router is fucked.
      Happens with all routers, the simple fix is to reset the router or turn off the drop not allowed MAC devices.

      If you disconnect the router ethernet cable from the modem/internet the Wifi will stop working, that will happen with every single router in the world that is connected via a physical LAN connection.

  • @Ristogod

    Terrible router. I have it and it's nothing but issues. Barely works at all.

    • @TallyHoTech
      @TallyHoTech  7 лет назад

      Latest firmware and all?

    • @Ristogod
      @Ristogod 7 лет назад

      Yes, as of this writing, it's version 3.0.0.4.382_12184.
      GameBoost (QoS) is incompatible with any other setting turned on. Which includes Traffic Anaylzer, Web History, Apps Analysis and Game IPS. Essentially if I turn on any of those, I can no longer access anything from the internet from any device connected to it.
      Worse yet is simply disabling the conflicting settings doesn't restore the router to working order. It remains unable to connect to anything unless I'm willing to give up QoS all together.
      Restarting the router does not fix the issue either. My only option to restore the router to working order is to default to factory settings and re-setup the router from the beginning. I've gotten a little smarter though in my many attempts where if I save the settings to a file, I can restore those settings and it makes the process a little bit quicker.
      So most of the features on the router that I paid for I can't use.
      Additionally, any time I restart the router, all the WiFi access simply dissappears. The router shows it working and enabled, but no wireless device sees the SSID or can it connect to the router. To restore again it requires a factory reset.
      I tried using earlier firmware versions also. The previous version before this only allowed about 5 minutes of working activity upon which it would crash and go through about a 3-5 minute re-startup process. Most times it never requires however and I have to power off/on the device, then restore factory defaults and start over.
      Even when I have it up and working with the only one feature turned on, which is GameBoost (QoS) and arguably it's more important and sought after feature, after about 10 minutes of gameplay, my ping will jump from a reasonable 30-50ms to 700-800ms, making most of my online play not possible.
      I've been in contact with Asus support over the device for 3+ weeks now also and they've been litte to no help whatsoever. Within Asus, there must be the world's largest disconnect of communication and process that it seems no one there has a clue about anything.
      In 20 years of different networking equipment, I've never encountered such a broken device. I'm not alone in this either. Read the comments from the online retail stores selling it, it's nearly unanimously spoken negatively about. Go find on the tech forums discussion from owners of the router. Again you will find a very large consensus that the router is terrible.
      It's why I take such issue with the numerous youtube videos proclaiming it to be the best. I feel like they are doing nothing more than going through the unboxing process and immediatly making a video about it to claim it as king.

    • @briank6894
      @briank6894 7 лет назад

      Everything you have stated is exactly what issues I have. This router on idle with no QoS turned on has an added latency of almost 30ms across the board. That's on idle with the router not doing anything. Under load that number goes up! And I mean a very minor load it reaches close to 40ms. That's 40ms on top of whatever your regular latency is. That alone is crazy. Anymore load the router just crashes. And using any of the QoS just causes the router to crash almost immediately. As a gamer this would never do. Not even close! This is more then a minor glich. And I don't think a firmware out there would fix it. There has to be something more severe because ASUS wants me to send it in for repair. Will not exchange it. Only repair! Honestly for being a new router this should be an exchange not a repair. I'm sure the reasoning for this is because of the vast amount of people that have purchased this are calling for the same thing. This is by far no king! lol.. And being disappointed is an understatement.. More shocked then anything..

    • @Ristogod
      @Ristogod 7 лет назад

      I've been working with Asus and they provided me with a beta firmware. I tried it and it does seem to have fixed quite a lot. I recommend trying it yourself.

      @samasyeo 6 лет назад +1

      Western Gents United The 5Ghz signal coverage is very poor, only cover your room if you place your router in your room.

    • @zagan1
      @zagan1 6 лет назад

      Did you set the signal strength?

    • @samasyeo
      @samasyeo 6 лет назад

      No matter how you set the signal strength, the 5GHz band is very poor in coverage. if you set for better coverage on 5Ghz network, the speed will become very slow.
      So what is the point? if I want further coverage, I can only connect to 2.4GHz band.
      I can get one to try for yourself. :D
