Potential router, but not stable!
on May 11, 2015
Posted by: Jacobs
from CA
I have been using ASUS RT-AC68U for a long time before I upgraded to this router in September 2014. It has been over 8 months with AC87R and I am not really happy as I was with AC68U.
This router will drop 2.4Ghz connection frequently and only a power recycle will restore it properly. Wired connection is working fine. Having more number of antennas did not make any difference in range compared to my previous router.
I truly regret giving away my AC68U as it was one solid router that required nearly no attention for very long time other than checking for new firmware once in a while.
I have tried few other high end AC routers from competitors, so far sticking with AC87R - something is better than nothing.
If you are looking for a solid router, not a fancy one then get an AC68R or AC68U, not AC87R. Despite of having numerous firmware updates in the last 8 months, this router is not performing as compared to how expensive it is.

Not worth for the price

I use it in...:Large home
I bought this router to replace my perfectly working Asus RT-66R model. I wanted to change my router just to get bit more range in my new 2200sqft home. Prior to getting this router I have tried one of the best range extender Ampedwireless AE-20. It’s range was excellent, but connection was very much degraded and struggled to get connected at times though it was set up to clone settings from original router.
So, after reading few positive reviews on BBY and mixed reviews on amazon, I decided to give new Nighthawk R8000 a try. I am happy with its slightly improved range than Asus and very much disappointed with its 2.4Ghz performance. I have more than 15 years of network experience and I really don’t bother tech support unless until it is really out of my hand and hardware specific.
Here I am trying to do a fair comparison with two routers I have (Asus & Netgear) + sign means “better” and – signs means “poor”
Wired Connection:
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
- R8000 has fair wired connection with slight consistency issues.
Wireless 5.0 Ghz:

- RT-66R Not applicable (does not come with this feature)

Wireless 2.4 Ghz:

+RT-66R has excellent connection with 80~Mbps out of my actual 120~Mbps ISP feed at channel 6 with 450 Mbps capability.
- R8000 is a complete failure in terms of 2.4Gh network
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
At this point I called customer service and it sounded like they kind of aware of the issue. With minimal trouble shooting and changing the channels to their recommended channels (01, 06, 09 & 11), there was no improvement. So they asked me to degrade from 600Mpbs to 289Mbps and it started working.
So technically now their claim of 3200Mbps became 2911Mbps.
Access Control:
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
- R8000 access control only let you allow or deny connecting a particular device. You cannot decide what time it should be able to connect. – Major drawback for me.
Parental Control:
- RT-66R has poor parental control settings, but with an option to point DNS to OpenDNS we can achieve better parental control settings with their FREE offerings.
+R8000 – also use OpenDNS but with dedicated service assigned to netgear so that you can add bypass account also which can’t be done with OpenDNS free account. This is the only additional benefit I found with this router so far compared to RT-66R.
VPN:
+ RT-66R is also able to use OpenVPN with mobile access with their free App. I was abe to access local network using iOS and Android devices with no issues.

+R8000 – very useful feature if you have your router in bedroom or other place you don’t like lot of flashing lights. Can be accessed via web GUI and with a dedicated hard button at the rear of the router.
USB Storage and Cloud access:

- R8000 – could not find any documentation about cloud access. Only information I found is about ReadyCloud and it is dedicated to Netgear NAS only. Another major setback for an expensive router.
Web GUI:
Though Netgear has a simple interface and easy to follow GUI, it lack modern look and feeling. I like Asus GUI better.

- Netgear – Though I received prompt customer service when I called, it was shocking to learn that the phone support is only available for 90 days of purchase, then you have to pay PREMIUM subscription to get phone support.
CONCLUSION:
I have thoroughly tested all important feature that I need. Rest of the features are generic to me and I am not bothered much about them.
I am sure this router with Dual 5.0Ghz network will be very useful for those who have new wireless devices. For me I have a lot of devices that depends on 2.4Ghz frequency such as smoke detectors, thermostat, laptop that connects to NAS for backup etc. and degraded and unreliable 2.4Ghz network make it absolutely worthless considering the amount I spent on this router.
I am seriously thinking to take this back to the store. I don’t see any point in spending almost double amount of money to get a couple of benefits and a lot of drawbacks and pay for a premium to get their phone support if needed to an overpriced product.
I would not recommend this router at its current price and it is unable to meet its original claims and comes with a premium phone support after 90 days.

Great Hard Drive for great price*
on December 27, 2013

from CA
I originally brought this HDD with an intention to change my recently failed TimeMachine drive for my Mac. Eventually I ended up changing the HDD of Mac Mini with this Samsung EVO 1TB drive and replaced the TimeMachine drive with the mechanical Hitachi HDD pulled out from Mac.
Mac users, make sure you enable TRIM on this HDD to take the full advantage of SSD on your Mac. If you not sure how to enable TRIM or what does it do with mac, google is your best buddy :)
With intense benchmark test I was able to get writing speed between 390Mbps ~ 505Mbps and read speed between 495Mbps~521Mbps. I am glad I replaced the Mac Mini HDD instead of the TimeMachine HDD. Planning to get another one for TimeMachine.
Noticed another user with the least rating on this device was complaining here about BBY price. I got it from BBY for the lowest available price from a competitor after BBY matched its price. I am very happy with this purchase and I would highly recommend this hard drive and BBY.

Type of Listener:Casual listener
Most Important to Purchase:Sound quality
How Often Used:3-5 times a week
I was able to compare the sound quality between this and the Bose Sound Link II. I was going to get Bose, but then the day of my purchase I noticed the price has went down to around 160 and thought to get Sony instead of expensive Bose. Well, you get what you paid for!
I noticed the sound quality difference when compared in the store itself, but I thought that is OK for the price. But, when I brought home and tried to increase the volume, I found it is really disappointing that the distortion start just around 50% of the volume. If you like decent amount of bass with your music, this is not for you. It has a poor range as the sound will start cutting off around 15' and at around 20' it will completely loose the connection to the phone.
It is also heavy and bulky to carry around. I might return this and get Bose instead.

Best replacement for Airport Extreme
on June 12, 2013
Posted by: Jacobs
from CA
I use it in...:Small home
After being a satisfied user of Apple Airport Extreme for years, I have replaced my router with this Asus RT-AC66R. I had to replace my router for only one reason - Parental Control.
Obviously, if you ask apple about parental control, they will ask you to replace your PC with Mac. But even if you do that, you cannot control tablets or smart phones.
My son is 12+ and I wanted to control his internet usage. I have tried top rated WD ant Netgear etc. None of them were reliable and effective. Finally thought about trying Asus and it changed the game completely.
- Setup is fair and easy.
- It is very reliable and I never had to restart the router for any reason in the last two months since it is installed.
- Effective parental control based on device MAC address
- Personal cloud (you can access anything stored in your home network storage or attached hard-drive to the router itself on the go - thanks to T-Mobile's unlimited data, now I can stream movies, music etc from home on the go via AiCloud)
- Pretty decent range and dual band transmitter and 3 external antennas.

I am very happy with this product and I highly recommend this router to anyone especially those who are looking to have effective parental control with their home network.

Beware of buying Auto Remote Installation
on April 6, 2013
Posted by: Jacobs
from CA
I purchased Geek Squad remote installation service along with a Arctic Remote start kit. I called local BB Store to setup an appointment for installation and I was informed that they do not have auto tech installer at that store and referred me to another store close buy. Called the second store and talked to auto tech, but he said he is being transferred to the first store I called by the following week and he is fully scheduled before his transfer from second store. He also told me that he is on one week vacation before joining the first store. So technically I lost two weeks. Then again, he is not sure when would the first store would be able to give me an installation date after he join them.
So I waited for two weeks and start calling the first store for installation appointment. 3 calls and 1 personal visit, could not find get hold to the auto tech, but was promised call backs all 4 times. Now more than a month passed, no one called back and I returned the remote starter and got a refund for the hardware. Now, I need to go back to the store and talk to the manager for getting refund for the un-used Remote start installation service that I paid over a month ago.
Lesson: Make sure your local store has a auto tech available and check his earliest available date. In the event you decided not to use the service, getting a refund is a pain in the neck...

I purchased it online with store pickup on 01/12/13. It was on sale and the reviews were outstanding. There was no reason to think twice before purchasing it online with the good reviews and the sale price. Wrong! If I had seen this before I purchased it probably I would not have gone for this model.
As soon as I opened the item I found the spring that release the mount from the tripod is pushed all the way out. (See images below). At first I thought it may just came out and I can put it back in place. But again I was wrong. It won't stay back as there was nothing there to support the spring behind the bracket. One press the sprint will pop out again. On inspecting the unit further I found many plastic parts on this tripod are made with poor quality material and can be broken easily.
I could not even use it for once, I had to return the unit next day. After returning I checked in the tripod section and found all the sunpack tripods has same design and it can come off easily.
I ended up buying a bit more expensive Manfrotto model which seems to be better than the sunpack one.
What's great about it: Strong looking, Easy to use, Great maneuver
What's not so great: Flimsy parts, poor quality materials, easy to break
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been using Apple Keyboard for a while even before I owned a Mac :) Keyboard layout on Apple Keyboard is outstanding and easy to use. Copycats have however started to copy the Apple Keyboard structure lately, but nothing comes close to the original.
I would have given the Apple Wireless Keyboard 5 Stars if it has included the Numeric Keypad as in the wired version. I still prefer using wired keyboard with my mac mini and Macbook Pro occasionally.

This is a great replacement for a traditional mouse. I have Apple Magic Mouse as well, but I prefer to use Magic Trackpad. I found it little difficult to drag and select a large amount of text compared to a traditional mouse. It may be my personal experience. Other than that I found it is very nice and actually works far better than other solutions. I like the multi touch gestures and pinch to zoom options.

Powerful machine with bad firmware/HDMI Port

Posted by: Jacobs
from CA
This is a wonderful machine. I would have give this a 5 star rating if one problem was not existing.
BAD: HDMI Output - ISSUE: Snowy / Blackout screens, blurry text display This is very crucial for mac mini. Most users trying to use their existing display with the new Mac Mini. Well there is a bad news; this new mac mini has a bad HDMI port which practically make it impossible to use your existing HDMI/DVI compatible monitors. This is a widely reported issue to Apple, but my first attempt to report the issue was downplayed by Apple. However, on following up the issue they acknowledged that more users reporting the issue. Upon checking on their support forums it has found Apple replaced the mac mini /HDMI port on a large quantity but the problem still exists.
If you are not looking forward to upgrade your display to a thunderbolt display, stay away from this version of mac mini until Apple issue a fix.
What's great about it: Powerful machine, quite, energy efficient, easy to use
What's not so great: Bad HDMI Port/firmware

I bought this printer 3+ years ago from HP directly. Changed Black toner with 2X size almost an year ago. Replaced all three color toners recently. I set this up for home/office use. Everyone in the family happy with this printer. Kids can print directly from their PC/MAC/Tablets/Phones. No need to run around for printing homework or other projects looking for help.
This printer at its current price is a no brainer deal. Far better than spending money on desk jet ink cartridges. This will long last for regular printing / project works.

Hello Laura78
November 17, 2015
I printed a total of 3200+ all together, which includes 1100+ color pages. I changed my OEM black cartridge more than a year go and at that time I had almost 1700 pages done. New 2X black cartridge give you more than 2100 monochrome pages. All depends on your usage. Since my son got into HS our usage has increased. I believe with a typical daily usage your OEM cartridges might last about 1500 pages easy. About the price comment on my original review: the day I reviewed it was on sale and was dirt cheap. Right now it is on its regular price, still cheaper than what I paid. Hope that helps.

No issues with product but BB Service has issues, so I am going to return it and purchase it somewhere else. They will not adjust the price on phone and want me to come to the store for Price Match for their own weekly sale. The manager told me that it is worth $50+ to make the trip to Best Buy. What an argument to a customer who bought a $400 product. Wish they had a little more customer savvy team!!

December 14, 2015
You can go back to the store to return it, but can't go to the store to adjust price? Sorry, could not understand your logic. First they need to cancel the transaction and re-run the purchase at the register to adjust the price. So there is no way they can do it over the phone. I am sure store manager explained this to you already.

Replaced 5400rpm (lame) with 500GB SSD
November 17, 2016
I have replaced OEM HDD with 500GB SSD and it made a huge difference in the performance of the system. I strongly believe Acer should have used at least a bootup SSD in the empty M2 slot available in the computer. You can add additional m2 SSD if you provide some padding and right size screws (most m2 SSDs comes with screw).
Please do not attempt to replace the stock HDD by yourself, as it may void the system warranty. I am an experienced technician with right knowledge and tools. Top of that the product was provided by Acer in exchange of an honest review.
If you have laptop repair experience and willing to take the risk to void system warranty, you can easily replace stock HDD with SSD of your choice. Just remove 12 screws from the back of the case to access HDD. Carefully remove stock HDD (sole lame part of this laptop) and replace with SSD. Make sure you create a system restore disk using a 16GB USB Drive using the stock HDD and OS. You can restore system from the USB to newly installed SSD and this system will work like a monster truck!

does this printer have automatic 2 sided printing
does the laserjet 400 pro print on both sides automatically or only manually? cant find automatic double sided print settings
It is automatic, it depends on OS where you can find exactly how to enable auto duplex printing from print dialog box.

Enjoy wireless Internet access throughout your home with this Asus Extreme RT-AC87R router that features 802.11ac AiRadar universal beamforming technology and 4 detachable dual-band antennas to provide reliable coverage up to 5,000 sq. ft.
when being used as a media server will the second AC-2400 still act as a range extender?
Hello,
I'm contemplating getting a second one to use as a media server to consolodate the music and digital movies i've bought over the years so i can watch them throughout the house. But there are some points on one side of the house where the signal gets weak and unreliable weather i'm using the 2.4 or the 5ghz frequency so i was wondering if having the 2nd AC-2400 in media server mode would still allow it to act as a range extender or if it would have to remain close to to first router to act as the media server.

RT-AC87R can be configured in Media Bridge mode.The Media Bridge mode provides the fastest 802.11ac Wi-Fi connection for multiple media devices simultaneously.To set up the Media Bridge mode, you need two RT-AC87R: one configured as the Media station and the other as a router.Configure one RT-AC87R as a router and another RT-AC87R as an 802.11ac Media Bridge to provide a simultaneous 802.11ac Wi-Fi connection for your media devices such as computer, Smart TV, game console, DVR, or media player via Ethernet cable.Change to Media Bridge mode to provide a simultaneous 802.11ac Wi-Fi connection for your media devices.
In Media Bridge mode, only wireless devices connect to the P-AP. Client devices need to be connected to the Media Bridge with a network cable.
In Media Bridge mode, the DHCP-assigned IP address changes. Install and use the Device Discovery Utility to get the wireless router's new IP address.
