ONE
OF
the
first
manufacturers
to

an
802.11ac
device
,
we
expect
quite
a
lot
from
Asus

Its
RT-AC56U
is
certainly
off
to
a
good
start
on
paper
.
With
a
four-port
Gigabit
Ethernet
hub
,
Ethernet
WAN
port
,
USB
and
USB3
ports ,
it'
s
got
everything
we'
d
want.
The
USB
ports
mean
you
can connect
a
printer
or
external
hard
disk
to
share
over
a
network .
More
impressively
,
you
can connect
a
3G
dongle
,
so
you
can
share
a
mobile
broadband
connection
,
which
could
be
useful
if
your
regular
internet connection
goes
down.
The
RT-AC56U
is
rather
stylish
,
standing
upright
with
no
external
antennas
to
spoil
its
appearance .
On
the
front
is
a
bank
of
lights
that
keep
you
informed
on
the
status
of
your
connection
and
Wi-Fi .
On
the right-hand
side
are
buttons
for
WPS
(
if
you
want
to
join
a
device
with
push-button
security
)
and
for
Wi-Fi

so
you
can
quickly
turn
off

VERDICT
This
high-end
router' s
price
is
justified
by
its
astonishingly
fast
wireless
performance
ASUS
MEANS BUSINESS
with
its
802.11ac
router
range
.
The
RT-AC68U
uses
TurboQAM
to
take
its
2.4GHz
Wi-Fi
connection
up
to
a
theoretical maximum
speed
of
600Mbit
s
while
its
5GHz
wireless
has
a
theoretical
throughput
of
1
,300Mbit
s .
The
router
has
a
Gigabit WAN
port
so
you
can connect
it to
a
cable
or
fibre
modem
supplied
by
your
ISP.
For
connecting
other devices
,
the
RT-AC68U
has
four
Gigabit
LAN
ports
,
a
USB
port
and
a
USB3
port
,
that
latter
two
of
which
you
can
use to
connect
an
external
hard
disk
,
plug
in
a
mobile
broadband
dongle
to
provide
an
in-case-of-emergency '
net
connection
,
or
share
a
USB
printer
over
your
network.
The
router' s
wireless
networks
are
enabled
but
unsecured
by
default
,
so
your
first
step
should
be
to
connect
to
the
router'
s
web
interface
and
run
through
the
configuration
wizard
.
This
also establishes
your
internet
connection
and
prompts
you
to
secure
your
router
with
a
password
.
The
web
interface
isn' t particularly
attractive
,
but it'
s
easy
helps
you
secure
the
open-by-default
wireless
networks .
There
are
plenty
of
features
,
but
some are
hidden
under
non-standard
names.
For
example
,
to
enable
QoS
you
to
have
to
click
on
a
tab
marked
Traffic
Manager.
The
router
isn'
t
happy
in
2.4GHz
mode
,
particularly
in
areas with
lots of
other
signals
using
the
same band
.
The worst results came
using
our
laptop'
s
integrated
wireless
adaptor :
38.2Mbit
/
s at
1m
and
36.6Mbit
/
s at
10m
,
both
of
which
are
acceptable
,
but
we
couldn'
t
do
the
test
at
20m
.
This
is
disappointing
,
as
most
people
still
use
integrated
2.4GHz
laptop
or
mobile
chipsets
with
their
wireless
routers.
Asus'
s
£60
USB-AC53
USB
wireless
dongle
improved
things
quite
a
bit
.
We
managed
a
connection at
20m
,
although
the
5.3Mbit
/
s
throughput
was
poor
;
however
,
performance
at
10m
improved
to
56.7Mbit
/
s
and
throughput
at
1m
was
a
blistering
90.1Mbit
s.
Something
we couldn'
t
complain
about
was the
router'
s
5GHz
performance
.
Getting
it
to
work
with
our
laptop'
s
802.11
Centrino
2
to
navigate
around
and
includes
some
extremely
useful
features.
These
include
up
to
six
wireless
guest
networks
:
three
on
each
band
.
These
are
ideal
if
you
want
to
give
visitors access
to
the
internet
,
but
not
your
local
network
,
and
you
can even
set a
time
at which
they'
ll
expire
,
which
is
particularly
useful
if
you
want
to
leave
them
open
rather
than
protecting
them
with
a
password .
There
are
also
basic
parental
controls : a
time-management
screen lets
you
determine
when
specific
devices
are
allowed
on
the
network.
We
tested
the
AC68U'
s
wireless
capabilities
with
our
Centrino 2
laptop'
s
integrated
Wi-Fi adaptor
,
but
this
is
relatively
old
hardware
now and can'
t
match
the
full
speed
of
an
802.11ac
router
at
5GHz
,
nor
does
it support
2.4GHz
TurboQAM .
At
2.4GHz
,
we
saw
transfer
speeds
of
32.8Mbit
/
s at
10m
and
9.7Mbit
/
s at
20m when
using
our
laptop'
s
wireless
chipset
required
no
tweaking
or
adjustment
at
all
,
and
produced
speeds
of
74.1Mbit s at
1m
,
60.2Mbit
/
s
at
10m
and
25.6Mbit
/
s at
20m
.
Performance was
even
more
impressive )
with
Asus'
s
USB
adaptor
: a
consistent
158.5Mbit
/
s at
both
1m
and
10m
,
dropping
to
66.2Mbit
/
s at
20m
.
We
got
the best
performance
at
20m
by
using
the
£70
Asus
PCE-AC68
PCI-E
wireless
adaptor
installed
in
a
desktop
PC
.
With
a
transfer
speed
of
81.6
,
this
was
one
of
the
fastest
throughputs
we'
ve
ever seen
at
that
distance.
Although
the
RT-AC56U'
s
performance
at
5GHz
is
excellent
,
we were
disappointed
by
its
2.4GHz
performance
in
an
area
cluttered
with
rival
2.4GHz
signals
.
The
BT
Home
Hub 5
is
only
a
little more
expensive
and
has
a similar
range
of
features
,
making
it
a better buy.
Wi-Fi .
The
next
step
was
testing
with
Asus'
s
£60
USB-AC53
Wi-Fi
adaptor
,
which
achieved
speeds
of
64.8Mbit
/
s at
10m
and
23.6Mbit
/
s at
20m.
In
our
5GHz
test
,
even
our
laptop'
s
integrated
wireless
chipset
worked
well
with
the
router
to
produce
speeds
of
63Mbit
/
s at
10m
and
25.5Mbit
s at
20m
.
Using
an
802.11ac
wireless
dongle
again
more
than
doubled
performance
,
producing
speeds
of
158.5 at
10m
,
which
slipped
to a
still
fantastic
70.7Mbit
/
s at
20m
. Even
better was
the
router'
s
performance
in
conjunction
with
the
£70
PCE-AC68
PCI-E
wireless
adaptor
,
which
saw
it
maintain
a
transfer
speed
of
149.9Mbit
/
s at a
distance
of
20m.
This
is one of the
most
expensive
routers
around
,
and few
people
will
be
able
to
justify
the
price
of
both
this
and
the
PCI-E
adaptor
required
to
achieve
its
optimal
transfer
speeds .
However
,
if
you
need
the
fastest
Wi-Fi
,
the
RT-AC68U
is the
ultimate
router.
