There has been a phenomenon that has been found in the Aunt's attention to the "network" content posts are very high, whether it is equipment purchase evaluation or build, etc., just recently got the EA95000-AH from the lead, NETGEAR R8500 and ASUS RT-AC5300 three AC5300 tri-band wireless router, just do a measurement comparison.
These three "Bee Ye" wireless routers are basically the flagship or former flagship models of the three companies. They support the second generation of 802.11ac and are also known as "the full version of the 802.11ac standard. The most important of these is the MU-MIMO multi-user system. Multi-entry and multi-output technology means that the client also supports MU-MIMO (basically supported by newer mobile phones at present). Even in the case of multiple clients, the maximum network speed in the LAN can be enjoyed simultaneously. Less-media measurements have also proved that both the server and the client support MU-MIMO, and the obtained network speed greatly exceeds, and this will also be a differentiating point between now and later used to distinguish between old and new network devices. With the R8500, everyone is familiar with the product, and the EA9500 as the strongest spoiler to enter the mainland market at the latest, before the foreign media saw the price is excellent, in the actual test of MU-MIMO or even leading other models, so this time specifically Borrowed with friends for the actual testing experience of these three products.
And during the 618 period, it is estimated that there will be various kinds of discounts, so it's just a matter of escalating the first few days.



From the parameter specifications, these three models are also basically the same level of products, so there will be a relatively intuitive reference. I have listed a table to compare some of the main parameters of these three models are also relatively intuitive. The actual test comparison of the appearance/accessories/disassembly/power consumption/network signal/data copy of the three will also be performed later.
Although these three may not be flagship models (such as R8500 updated R9000AD, etc.), but also at least once the flagship, so no matter what the packaging, accessories, appearance has spent a lot of thought. Take packaging, the basic single size is similar to many notebooks.
Leading position LINKSYS EA9500-AH (hereinafter abbreviated as EA9500), compared with the other two major other main standard power plug support.
Short-lived flagship NETGEAR R8500, it feels like it hasn't been released for a long time, and now R9000-AD is the flagship.
ASUS RT-AC5300, their family also updated the GT-AC5300 flagship model
The appearance of this generation of the EA9500 is still rather conservative. At first glance, it feels like a network device (even if there is no antenna). The external 8 antenna obviously knows its positioning, but the antenna is non-removable and the paddle type design. No matter if the top or the bottom of the case is covered with a hole-shaped heat sink, there is no need to worry about heat dissipation.
The design of the signal light at the top is quite interesting. In addition, you can turn off the light in the firmware settings. Basically, these three models can turn off the light.
What is more special is that the EA9500 has up to 8 LAN ports. It feels like it has saved a hub. It is suitable for users with multiple wiring requirements.
3 frequency wireless routing is basically "monster" layout
bottom
Netgear R8500, individuals still like the appearance of the R8500 this generation, there is a sense of architecture, but this design was canceled in the R9000 above. In addition, a typical R8500 is built-in / external 4 antenna design, so the appearance of the above than other AC5300 tri-band wireless router, a relatively traditional point.
The surface of the shell is full of textures
USB port on one side
Back IO port, more special is to have 2 wan port, and lan port is still 4
ASUS RT-AC5300 (hereinafter referred to as AC5300), Assisi famous "monster", the antenna does not use the money to see the money.
Appearance above AC5300 can be said to be the most ridiculed. . . It is this shape you don't know how to describe, like some sort of Stonehenge, like a cake with candles. . . However, the Assisi family seems to like this shape, so the recently updated ROG version of the GT-AC5300 still follows this design.
IO port is more traditional, still 1wan, 4lan, 2usb, but there are places where the design is more unreasonable is the USB port with wan and antenna location too close to meet some strange USB device is estimated to vomit blood.
There are several physical buttons that can turn off lights directly, above the network.
It feels like this is the normal placement of the AC5300. . .
Which of the three flagship appearances do you like?
The curiosity drove the original three-in-one machines to be dismantled and looked at the interior. However, after the EA9500 was demolished, he abandoned the other two machines because it was too complicated.
Take the EA9500 as an example. Although it is not complicated to dismantle on the whole, as long as the bottom 4 screws are removed, then the top cover can be removed to start removing the interior, but in the actual process, the top cover buckle is very Strict, with the ordinary disassemble card can not be removed, and finally I use the saber to get it, and it is inevitable that the appearance of a certain impact, so non-required circumstances recommend not to play without anything.
After the cover is removed, it is actually the beginning. The internal structure of the EA9500 is not very difficult, but it is actually very complicated. First there is a protection bracket that needs to be dismantled; after the bracket is disassembled, there is a radiator, a radiator is disassembled, and an antenna is removed. After the antenna and the shielding cover, so I dismantled the EA9500 and gave up the other two machines. This flagship-level routing model, the internal design and disassembly complexity is actually much more troublesome than the installation of a NUC computer, the entire disassembly process I can easily install a PC desktop machine is no joke. As a flagship model, the EA9500's work materials are indeed more exaggerated.
This level of flagship represented by the EA9500, workmanship is very good, and R8500 and AC5300 dismantling the Internet is also quite a lot, you can search contrast.
After the analysis of the appearance of the upper part of the dismantling is over, the lower part is the contrasting part of practical applications that people are more concerned about. At the beginning of the comparison, we first compared the power supply design of these three routers. I believe this is easily overlooked. However, in actual applications, it can easily cause headaches. Why? I believe you must have encountered a situation in which a specially designed power plug is too large (or strange) to be installed during actual use. The three routers, nets and ASUS are all integrated power supply design (similar to the macbook), the power supply itself is a plug, but the net is a side plug, so that the actual application is most likely to affect other plugs; Body type power supply, similar to the traditional notebook power supply, so the best compatibility does not affect the installation of other devices next to it.
Web-side interface: People are more likely to be surprised that this EA9500 actually has a Chinese interface at the factory, and the other two's interface and setting style are believed to be familiar to everyone. Functionally speaking, the difference between the three is not significant, such as the SmartConnect switch we all have, and other advanced settings are basically the same; the interface design is still the most worthy of being Tucao, especially that set to respond to a minute. . .
In addition to online search refresh firmware, EA9500 can automatically update the firmware, AC5300 can be updated online firmware, and R8500 I tried online update has been searching. . . Finally, you can only go to the official website under a good firmware, and then manually update, I do not know if it is my home network problem (Shenzhen / Tianwei broadband)
The mobile phone APP, the three routed mobile phone APPs can do most of the settings for the routers, but ASUS has some home or third party plug-ins that can be used.
The test part first tested the network speed, and the environmental conditions were: Shenzhen Tianwei Broadband (downstream 100Mbps upstream 3 Mbps), iPhone 7 Plus, SPEEDTEST). When each route is tested, the distance of the mobile phone will not exceed 2 meters, then 3 fixed positions, and each position will be tested once.
The whole city process is more or less weird probably is the R8500, the test has run many times dissatisfied with the network should have speed, do not know what the firmware or other problems, the router itself is basically the default + basic settings. Before using the R6900, this problem was not solved.
The other EA9500 and AC5300 do not have this problem, and all three locations can run full network bandwidth.
Signal test, the three routers are claimed to be for 150 square meters + area of ​​use of the households, so when the test signal went to a friend's company, a single-story more than 100 square, two nearly 300 square feet; but the test environment is not overhead The floor or the middle floor of the building is a complete two-story structure, so normally, the signal of the second floor will be relatively large. The entire test environment has six test points, and each point receives the highest degree of difficulty. In this case, two D/E points are each isolated by two or three load-bearing walls, and point F is on the floor directly below the router. A point in the test is the location of the router, but also the test point.
Test equipment is ThinkPad T570, there are also mobile phones, the actual test software is the same as the basic test data, so the final record with mobile phone terminal inSSIDer. During the test, all three routes are in the same location. During the test, only one route is opened to avoid interference.
The final result is not unexpected. Although various companies claim to have a variety of black technology blessings for signals, the difference in actual testing is not large, and basically they are all error levels. However, the EA9500's 5G signal performance is ideal, and the test values ​​at various points during the test are better.
File copy test, simulates the route to mount the storage device to create a simple network storage, and then the client copies the file speed. The network links are Gigabit wired links and 5G network links respectively. Test equipment CZ80 USB3.0 flash drive and T570 notebook. Test method, the client uses FastCopy to copy a single file with a size of about 2.5g from the network storage side, and measure the stable speed several times.
Throughout the testing process, the EA9500 and the R8500 are relatively stable, and the data measured on multiple occasions is basically the same (3x MB/sec in the case of 5G network and 90 MB/sec in the case of wired network), while the AC5300 from Asustek is more condescending and wireless. The network conditions are still relatively normal, but the speed of the wired network will drop to 3x MB/s, and the replacement of other devices by the test is basically the same (the firmware has also been updated to the latest).
The power consumption section records the power consumption of the router in normal use. The basic configuration difference between these three routes is not large, so the overall power consumption is basically the same.
The three routes all use the 1.4GHz dual-core BCM47094 processor from Broadcom and three BCM4366 wireless chips. The support for 4x4 5G WiFi MU-MIMO supports the consistency of these three routes in hardware specifications. The only difference is that At present, the EA9500 version is 256M storage, and then has the largest number of Lan ports; and as of today, EA9500 temporarily no third-party firmware, the other two have firmware such as Merlin can brush; warranty R8500 is a two-year replacement warranty, other Both are 3 year warranty and these are all options to consider.
Currently, these three flagship routers that have been or are currently supporting full 802.11ac Wave 2 functions are basically used to distinguish between past and future routing devices. The three are basically the same in terms of function and positioning. How to choose other than some of the above measured comparisons? Finally, it is estimated that the price is still falling. For example, the ASUS AC5300 is currently at a much higher price than the other two, and it is believed that during the 618 period, it was finally selected from the preferential prices. After linksys returned to the mainland market, in addition to speeding up product updates, the degree of localization of firmware and services finally caught up. Therefore, the three countries killed in the formation of high-end network equipment will believe that consumers will have more. select.
