Pros: 802.11ac technology will later allow for quicker speeds once devices are more readily available. AiCloud enables you to access your network from anywhere, and from any device! Whether it is just an attached USB device, shared printer, or going as far as an attached NAS or PCs, you can access it! The functionality in terms of what this router can do is just jaw dropping. No more do you need a 3rd party program for WOL!

Cons: If there was a con for this router, it would be listed here...

Overall Review: Where to begin!?!?!? In a nutshell, I would consider this router for businesses! Simply because of the onsite/offsite functionality it has to offer. I have had this for more than a month, and I am just now able to submit a review due to the endless settings. And yet, it is sooooo easy to setup!!! First off, the range for this thing is incredible! My phone connects to it when I turn the street corner...a city block away!!! If you have a data cap on your cell phone, but you want to download some stuff, well, connect it to your VPN built into the router and your phone is now blind to the cellular company, minus calls and messages. You can allow your buddies to access the VPN by setting up an account on the router for them. But, if he wants to connect to it, or you for that matter, make sure your ISP gives you a static IP. If you suspect someone is on your VPN, and you want to see them, there is a VPN status tab to show you who is connected. Want to get to your NAS but it is sleeping? Well, use the WOL feature to turn on any device on your network, either from your website, the AiCloud App, or by remoting into it directly. Then, use the AiCloud app to access those files from your phone. No phone? By enabling the DDNS feature, you can access your network via https, courtesy of setting up your free account with ASUS. Speaking of which, say you attached a USB device to your router, and you have the app up, and your buddy wants the songs you are playing, or the video you are watching, using the built in media player (from the router). Just select it and you can have a 24 hour link to give to him to download it. After 24 hours...BOOM!...the link is no longer valid. When you set up the DDNS, you can name it anything you want, so long as someone else has not used it. Just make sure you assign static IPs to those devices that have unique WOL features (my NAS), which is a snap! And don't forget to enable it in the BIOS of those PCs and enable it in Windows, if not already done. For those with access to WANs, just turn it on! There are numerous toggles to turn on all these feature. It is so user friendly that a baby could use it! Are you using this in an advanced corporate network with high-end security configurations? Well, you can easily lock this down, or set up those settings under the professional tab to configure the router with fine tuned times of days where the radio is turned on/off. And I am not joking, you can really lock this down! I mean, not only can you set it to turn off during the lunch hour, but you can adjust the power settings for the transmissions! Say you are using a RADIUS Server...what's the IP? Plug it in and watch it go! If your network seems slow, just pull up the traffic monitor and block that guy via his MAC. Then make your packets the boss under the QoS. Or maybe you want to use the built-in NetStat or Ping to troubleshoot connectivity across your network. FEATURES UNTESTED DUE TO COMPONENTS: Printer 802.11a

Pros: The router interface is very easy to use. As with most routers, it does allow for Static IP Reservations, MAC Address Filtering & Cloning, comes with its own firewall, and allows for channel changing. It offers DDNS through two suppliers and IPv6 Support, as well as Static Routing, which was very easy to test. Coming with a guest band, and the standard 2.4GHz band, it does offer wireless MAC Address filtering. The VPN Passthrough is kind of cool, if you have that service running. It offers lots of selections for port forwarding/triggering and even remote access. However, I don't think the remote access would be very good for you network, even with the VPN Passthrough, but you need to see the cons section for that.

Cons: The physical design of this router is ultimately flawed. It is heavy on one end and has a lip on the side with the ports. It offers no option for wall mounting. Put the nasty lip and lack of wall mounts together, and that pretty much eliminates its selection from corporate integration, who like to mount it near ceilings, as the lip prevents you access, except from one side. Speaking of the ports, this device would not be suited for corporate environments as the maximum Ethernet speed is 100Mbps. It hindered by Gigabit Ethernet computing environment. Speaking of speeds, I was able to max out the 802.11n at about 250Mbps on average. And I selected the best channel, which was 11. However, the device did not allow for a 11u or 11l selection. Going into the thoughts of signal, the only time it was lower than -50dBm was when I was in the same room. As soon as I stepped out, it shot up to -75 or worse. I went two rooms out, and then it went to -85! And I have a studio apartment (very small)! Streaming media across the network was a failed effort from the start.

Overall Review: If you have devices that support Gigabit Ethernet, this device will hinder your network. If you have walls in your house, like mine, then this device will be weak. If you host your media on a network attached device (NAS), don't bother watching until you have downloaded it to your PC, as opposed to streaming. If you have one room for your entire home, and only like to browse the internet and not watch YouTube or anything fancy, then yes, this router is for you, but kind of overpriced at that.

Pros: Unable to test.

Cons: Damaged due to how they were packaged. I will be returning them. The damage is seen on the headset due to rubbing inside the manufacturers box. Not the sellers fault, but Corsairs fault. Going to contact Corsair first to see if they will send a replacement. Otherwise I will submit RMA for Refund. Stinks for the seller, but it is what it is.

Overall Review: Unable to Test

Pros: Don't get me wrong, it is fast. It is also pretty darn consistent. Installed in Gen4 PCIe slot (make sure you do because not all slots are created equal). Mine has a heat sink to keep it cool, and never really saw it get too hot under gaming load. Performed all read/write tests immediately after NTFS Format as a storage drive (no Windows), hence you see the CT model in disk management as "Storage1 (D)".

Cons: -No Hardware...packaging even has a slot for it! -The Crucial sticker was stuck to the SSD stick like it was gouged by something...Had to take it off before installation. -Not a single test in CrystalDiskMark ever hit the spec (Up to 7400Mbps). Actually didn't ever pass 7k.

Overall Review: If you can get your hands on spare screws for installation, no problem (I had some so didn't ding the egg). But I did ding the egg for two reasons, poor packaging (hardware and damaged sticker...not that it matters, just the principle of it), and honestly I would have expected to see 7k on the testing board.

Pros: Robust and stable, fast and ALMOST meets advertised 7k Mbps rating. Performed about 50 tests with CrystalDiskMark and it consistently came close to the 7k, but never quite hit it. Attached screenshot of the best run. Came with hardware screws, but didn't use them due to my setup.

Cons: No cons, really. Not going to ding Samsung because technically, says it runs UP TO 7k mbps.

Overall Review: Would I buy it again, probably...especially for the OS drive. Maybe only 1TB but, the deal I got was for a 2TB so why not.

Pros: -Easily connected to all of my bluetooth devices. Tested on Google Pixel, Samsung, and iPhones and they are a great alternative to the fancily overpriced Apple Airpods.-The controls make sense and are a little wonky, but okay.-The distance, in my opinion, is also pretty good with the first drop out of 25 meters before the audio started to get choppy.-They have a nice durable weight to them and the smooth surfaces are easily cleaned, but pose a con later on. However, they are basically two little war tanks because these took a beating at the gym from falling out so much.-The intensity of the audio is quite loud and also poses a con for the delay in processing

Cons: 1 Egg: Delay in Processing - The controls have a pretty large delay time from the moment you touch them. They don't always register either. I am in the gym daily, and the sweat tends to not always allow a complete sensor touch. When I receive a phone call, there is a sudden and temporary increase in volume that pierces the ears. In the military, you are around a lot of loud things you aren't around in daily life, and this reminded me of those loud things.1 Egg: Smooth Hard Surfaces - These ear buds are all metal. There is no rubber or flexibility to them of any sorts. They move around and fall out ALL THE TIME! As a gym rat, this means I am constantly having to move them around and that means sometimes I touch the controls. Also, the hard surface, after a couple hours of working out, tend to hurt the ears a little.1 Egg: NO BASS - I am a little bit of an audiophile. I like surround sound, base, good treble and mid-range. These headphones have no bass. I don't get that "pop" on the bass drum or the "drone" of a bass guitar. And don't even try to run one of those bass testing songs, as you will be really disappointed.

Overall Review: -In my opinion, these are not for active individuals or audiophiles.-I would imagine that these are for those people who sit in an office all day and are constantly on the phone.-If you really listen to music and want to hear all the instruments and wave ranges, take a hard pass on these.-If you go to the gym and don't want your earbuds to fall out, take a hard pass on these.-If all you do is talk on the phone, hit these up, but be prepared to go deaf when the phone ring-tone blasts in your ear.-And oh, if you want earphones that can survive being stepped on while squatting double your body weight....yeah, they survived that.
