Asus has recently launched their latest wireless router in India, the Asus RT-AC1200 HP which comes with Dual-band Wireless 802.11ac and Dual WAN ports. This feature supports two ISPs or Internet connections on one router, making the service uninterrupted with the help of load balance and failover mode for added stability. This router comes after ASUS had recently announced the world’s fastest working Wi-Fi router named ASUS RT-AC5300 in IFA 2015 event.
It comes with USB port for printer networking, file sharing and 3G/4G network sharing. It also acts as an online sharing device with the help of AiCloud app on your iOS or Android devices which enables you to access, sync, share and stream your files stored on the cloud server from anywhere.
The Dual-band connectivity feature delivers 2.4GHz and 5GHz concurrent bands which give speeds up to 300Mbps and 867 Mbps. In case of basic tasks like Web browsing, messaging etc the 2.4GHz band comes in use and when doing some heavy duty work like gaming, streaming Full HD videos etc the 5GHz band takes over to give required speeds.
For Load Balance to work you need to have two connections either from DSL, cable or 3G/4G wireless adapter connected via the provided USB port. This will increase the bandwidth being used and also help in distributing the speed to multiple devices which are connected. With another feature called Fail Over, the router provides uninterrupted internet connectivity in case your primary internet connections fails, the second connection will automatically be used to control the network it is particularly useful for Gamers and other users who depend on Online work.
With the help of the single USB port, you can connect external storage and share the content throughout the network on other devices at once. It also helps in connecting printers and 3G/4G wireless adapters. With the help of AiCloud mobile app and the online storage service, you can access any files stored on the server from anywhere like photos, videos etc and share them directly on Facebook, Flickr or Dropbox. To increase the cloud storage space you can connect it to compatible routers which further expands the space.
