Firmware

The attachment is stitched to improve efficiency. We recommend that you first turn the router over and remove the sticker on the back panel. Here you will find the version and revision number, for which you will need to update the remaining firmware. New updates are regularly posted on the official ASUS website.

Unpack the firmware on your PC, then go to the “Firmware Update” item in the “Administration” section in the interface. It was impossible to register the path to the *.bin file and type “Onovity”. The process takes 2–3 minutes, do not interrupt the ASUS RT-N15U and computer until the firmware is completed.

This time we'll let you know about the mid-class droneless router ASUS RT-N15U equipped with a USB connector, gigabit Ethernet ports and a Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n module with maximum data exchange speed of up to 300 Mbps in a single 2.4 GHz band.

Equipment

Router ASUS RT-N15U The packaging is in a large black cardboard box, with its traditional design you can learn about all the main characteristics of this model. The delivery set includes a boundary housing unit, a short Ethernet cable, a plastic stand, a CD with operating instructions in electronic form and a set of supporting documentation.

It is important that the router is insured for wall mounting or vertical installation with the help of an additional complete stand due to the presence of humic feet. The stand is too tightly locked to the router case, removing it without damage is problematic, so think about the most suitable installation method before attaching the stand, and not after.

Housing, roses

Similar to most current routers from this manufacturer, model ASUS RT-N15U decorated by the stylist "Black Diamond". The black plastic body of the device is structured with cut lines without any tension on the rounded and glossy front panel with a diagonal texture, through which X-like activity indicators shine through. In this case, there are five blue LEDs with the following icons: “Harvest”, “Wi-Fi”, “Internet”, “LAN”, “USB”.

The front edge of the router is protected from functional elements. The seals in the lower and upper parts of the housing ensure natural ventilation of the components. On the basis of the matte plastic case, you can find all the necessary service information, including standard security settings, MAC address and PIN code for access to the router. Immediately after finishing the heating elements, the adhesive sticker that covers the openings for mounting on the wall was adjusted to the factory settings.

All available connectors and controls are located on the back of the router. At the very bottom there is a power button with a lock, a little more - a connector for the living unit, then there is a row of five gigabit Ethernet ports (one WAN and a LAN) and at the very top you can find a miniature WPS button and we rose USB 2.0.

It is significant that in comparison with models of the highest level, ASUS RT-N15U is not equipped with skin activity indicators for Ethernet ports. If you do not use the WPS mode, then in the additional web interface the corresponding button can be reassigned to the Wi-Fi module on the device.

Functionality

Similar to the current situation in the router segment, model ASUS RT-N15U up to middle-class devices with receiving additional features such as gigabit Ethernet ports and a USB connector. Droneless Wi-Fi standards 802.11 b/g/n are supported in a single 2.4 GHz band. Maximum data transmission speed of up to 300 Mbit/s is provided by two installed antennas in MIMO 2T2R mode.

From the hardware point of view, the router is based on a Broadcom BCM47186 processor (otherwise Broadcom BCM5357) with an operating frequency of 500 MHz and is equipped with 8 MB flash memory and 64 MB RAM. To organize a gigabit wireless network, a Broadcom BCM53125 switch is used. Please note that in addition to the standard mode of a wireless router, devices can also be used in repeating and access point modes.

The USB 2.0 connector is used for organizing a personal AiDisk and FTP drive, as well as for connecting a border printer and a backup 3G modem. However, for the available model ASUS RT-N14U, there is no support for the Download Master and Media Server utilities in the current version of the firmware.

Interface

Adjusting router parameters ASUS RT-N15U And control of your current parameters is provided using an additional proprietary “black” web interface.

After initial setup of the WAN connection type, you will see the “Metering Map” window in the header, where you can quickly evaluate the Internet connection status, the current level of security, the number of active clients and the characteristics of the USB device connected to the router. In fact, the skin with the icon is active, so by pressing on it, you will receive additional information on a specific section.

At the top of the interface ASUS RT-N15U There is a service panel, with which you can “on the fly” change the interface, restart the router, select the desired operating mode (router/repeater/access point), update the firmware version and change the wireless network.

The advanced section “Guest Network” allows you to install up to three guest networks with your own security settings, time management, access to local network resources and MAC address filtering. Next, we will go to the “Traffic Manager” section with integrated graphic monitoring, “Batkovsky Control” with detailed adjustments of the hourly schedule of global resources for each device and the “USB add-on” section with reliable utilities.

Additional setup of the router ASUS RT-N15U If you are in the local hub, here you can find out: fine adjustments of dartless and local borders; Internet connection; IPv6 mode; VPN servers and firewalls, as well as service points for the best preparation of clients: “Administration”, “System Log” and “Merezhevy Utilities”.

The test mode of the devices showed the progressive nature of the decrease in the level of the signal at three control points: direct visibility of the router to the client (1), data transmission through one capital 3D wall (2), data transmission through two 3D walls (3).
