Konklusion
Nu har vi efterhånden været igennem en del routere fra ASUS, og fælles for dem alle er, at de hver gang har leveret på ydelsen. ASUS har også denne gang forstået at lave en router som kan yde så den ligger i den absolutte verdens klasse. Designet læner sig op af ASUS nyeste skud fra stammen, hvilket jeg personligt synes er ganske frisk. Dog gør de 6 antenner at den ikke er let at skjule.
Ydelsen på routeren er ganske udmærket, og det er ved denne router forfriskende at se, at ASUS har tænkt over produktet, og valgt at køre den lidt ned i den teoretiske hastighed, men derimod lavet de "grupperinger", så man nu faktisk kan få et kort som næsten kan udnytte det trådløse potentiale i produktet.
Det eneste negative jeg har at sige om ASUS RT-AC3200 er at GUI'en desværre var lidt haltende, den virkede sløv og ikke særlig responsiv, men da jeg aldrig har oplevet dette på en ASUS router før, er mit bedste bud at der må være en fejl i den software version som er ude lige nu, og at dette bliver løst i en senere patch.
Innovation / Teknologi - 5
Den er lidt svær at give points for, for hvor meget kan man udvikle på et produkt uden standarderne følger med? Her har ASUS dog valgt at gå andre veje, og tilføjet muligheden for 2 SSID'er i 5 GHz båndet, hvilket giver mulighed for at udnytte en hastighed på 2600 Mpbs hvis man har 2 enheder som understøtter AC1300. Rigtig godt tænkt, og et skridt i den rigtige retning.
Jeg var lidt skeptisk da jeg først læste om denne router, for allerede ved AC-1734 er der ikke længere nogen netkort som kan følge med, så kunne ikke rigtig se hvorfor man ville lave en der kunne køre på 3200 Mbps, men jeg blev rigtig positivt overrasket.
Bundle/Tilbehør- 3
Tja, der er det med der skal være, ikke for meget, og ikke for lidt. Det er svært at give den andet end 3.
Design/Layout - 4
Designet er lidt en smagssag, men jeg er egentlig personlig tilhænger af designet. Dog er de nu blevet så store at nogle kan mene den er blevet for stor. Under testen kom der mere end en kommentar fra konen om at den ikke nødvendigvis pyntede i stuen, fordi den er så svær at skjule. Synes dog alligevel den fortjener et 4 tal.
Software - 4
Softwaren er som altid i top, normalt vil jeg give den et flot 5 tal for alle funktionerne, det der her trækker ned er den sløve brugerflade som jeg her blev skuffet over. Jeg håber og tror at det er en fejl i denne version, men fejlen er der imens denne test bliver lavet. Derfor trækkes der ét point ned.
Ydelse - 5
Super Ydelse. Der er slet ingen tvivl om den skal have et flot 5 tal. Routeren leverer det den lover, og så er der egentlig ikke så meget mere at sige til det.
Pris - 3
Her rammer vi så et ømt punkt, for kr. 2.149,- i skrivende stund. Det gør den næsten kr. 600,- dyrere end ASUS RT-AC87U, som leverer bedre men som så mangler muligheden for gruppering af de to 5 GHz net. Er de antenner virkeligt 600 værd? Jeg synes det ikke, så medmindre man virkelig har et behov for det ekstra 5 GHz netværk, ville jeg nok hellere spare de kr. 600,- og gå efter lillebror, ASUS RT-AC87U.
UK summary
Now we have gradually been through some routers from ASUS, and common to them all is that they each once again delivered on performance. ASUS has also this time been able to make a router that can provide as it is in the absolute world class. The design leans on ASUS latest shots from the trunk, which I personally think is quite fresh. However, due to the 6 antennas, it is not easy to hide.
The performance of the router is quite excellent, and it is by this router refreshing to see that ASUS has thought about the product and decided to run it down a little in the theoretical speed, but made the "clusters", which now actually get a card that almost use the wireless potential of the product.
The only negative I have to say about ASUS RT-AC3200 is the GUI unfortunately was a little lame, it seemed lethargic and not very responsive, but since I have never experienced this in a ASUS router before, my best guess is that there must be a bug in the software version that is out right now, and that this will be resolved in a future patch.
Innovation/Technology - 5
It is a little difficult to give points in, for how much can you develop a product without standards in the box? Here ASUS has chosen to go other ways, and added the ability for two SSIDs in the 5 GHz band, which allows you to use a speed of 2600 Mbps if you have two devices that support AC1300. Very well thought out, and a step in the right direction.
I was a little skeptical when I first read about this router, already at AC-1734 there is no longer any network adapters that can keep up with, so could not really see why anyone would make a could run at 3200 Mbps, but I was really positively surprised.
Bundle/Accessories - 3
Well, there are what is needed, not too much and not too little. It is difficult to give more than 3.
Design/Layout - 4
The design is somewhat a matter of taste, but personally I really like the design. However, they have now become so large that some may think that they has become too big. During the test period, it resulted in more than one comment from the wife that it does not fit properly anywhere in the living room, because it is so hard to hide. Seems Nevertheless, it deserves 4.
Software/BIOS - 4
The software is as always at the top, usually I will give it a nice 5 for all functions, but it is here the sluggish interface pulls down which made me disappointed. I hope and believe that this is a bug in this version, but the error exists while this test is made. Therefore getting a point less.
Performance - 5
Super Performance. There is no doubt about the need to recieve a nice 5. The router delivers what has been promised, and then there's really not much more to say about it.
Price - 3
Here we hit a sore point for DKK 2149,- at the time of writing. This makes it almost DKK 600,- more expensive than ASUS RT-AC87U that delivers better but it lacks the possibility of grouping of the two 5 GHz network. Are the antennas really worth the extra DKK 600,- ? I think not, so unless you really have a need for the additional 5 GHz network, I'd probably rather save the DKK 600,- and go after younger brother, ASUS RT-AC87U.
