Ganda nmn nyn sir.. sana all
I might pull the trigger on this one. My Mikrotik 951g-2hnd is doing its job but the wifi speed/range is lacking.
Can you use it when its Not per cable to the Modem so in a Order room or something Like ghabt
Hi,
I am interested to know how fast can it switchover to the secondary Internet (LAN)? Is it instantaneous? As it is very important for me personally.
Thanks in advance :)
Hi, have tested on the other asus router as well, fastest would take around 10 seconds to kick in, and around 30 to 45 seconds the slowest one, the only issue i encountered and takes a while is to failback to main ISP..
@@JKChavez 10 second ia a big time!
Yes i think that is a little long, not really sure if it has to do with my secondary isp which is wireless broadband, while my primary is via fiber..
if the 10 seconds delay is long for you, you can try using in load balance mode with variable ratios.
Hi. Interesting. Never thought of getting a dedicated router additional to my old PLDT router, which has a terrible 5ghz range/strength. But, aside from some quality of life and security features - is there any benefit for gaming/streaming (streaming games - my wife is a streamer) when using an ethernet cable to the PC? (1gbit LAN - with around 600Mbitup/down speed from PLDT)
At the end it is 11k peso...not a cheap router after all.
Hi Duke, the wireless connection is becoming more stable with the 5ghz wifi frequency, and even more stable with wifi 6 technology. but for serious connectivity using lan(ethernet cable) is more reliable than wireless, because in wireless there can be a lot of things going on like interference etc.. the main benefits of using wireless are moving around, and having less hassle for unsightly lan cable across the room.
I totally agree that it is not cheap, but if you have a lot of wireless devices connected, you need a good router to manage those connections. ( that QOS for prioritizing streaming would be a great help as well)

how do you compare this with TUF AX 5400 after extensive use ?
the 4200 is using a quad core processor, while the 5400 is only using tri-core processor. but in term of handling connected devices (wifi/lan), they both works great, for my test i usually test it 24x7 for at least 1 week and at least 8 devices connected no issue during that time.
if your main concern is wifi data transfer with large files locally, go with the ax5400, but if you just have a ton of devices and the primary use is to access the internet just get the 4200 for it will be able to perform better.
@@JKChavez has the the 3x3 and 4x4 streams difference made a significant impact ?
Hello was planning to buy a new router but cant decide wether to get Asus Tuf ax4200 or Tenda Ac23. What would be the best one to pick for wifi coverage
Hi, if those two are your option, definitely the tuf ax4200, the tenda ac23 is the best budget router on its price category..
Hi, is your WAN light always blinking white? The manual says it's supposed to be solid blue, but mine is also blinking white all the time.
Did u solve this problem? Need help, same problem here mate :(
What website the that
I can't decide between ASUS TUF-AX5400 vs Tp-Link Archer AX73. The specification is very similar, but I'm interested in stability and WIFI coverage. Please which should I buy?
I honestly have not tried ax73, only ax23 from tplink, and it is quite good in terms of stability.
It is not fair to compare the tplinkax23 and tuf-ax5400, but i will choose the tuf-ax5400 for it is reliable and stable..
Hi which do you think is better overall the TUF AX5400 or the AX4200? Thank you!
both almost performed the same, but for me i would choose the ax4200 for it has quad core processor
@@JKChavez thank you so much
This or ax5400? Is there any sense in picking the "faster" model, since wifi is always so unreliable and I don't need much coverage
for my personal choice I would prefer this ax4200 for the processor, one major difference of the ax4200 to ax5400 is that the ax5400 offer more streams.
What does it mean by more streams? I have 3 floor houses, and night need 2 routers. Should i get 1 5400 and 1 4200 or 2x 4200 enough? Thanks. for gaming mainly.
I have a question do I need to pay every month or just setup the wifi with out paying any monthly?
this is just a wifi router, so no need to pay monthly, but to have internet access you still need to pay your internet service provider.
Can I replace the router that my telephone company provided me for this one?
Thank you very much for the video.
Hi, unfortunately no, the one provided by the telephone company or internet service provider (ISP), is a modem wifi router, the modem part is the one responsible to give us internet access. and this third party wifi router like asus is just a wifi router, and doest not modem capability..
Hi just a question what is the diffrence between ax 3000 ans tuf gaming ax 3000 v2
1.5ghz Tri core vs 1.7ghz Quad core.
why did you switch to 2.4GHz when you went upstairs? the testing methodology becomes inconsistent because you changed the WiFi band.
Hi sir, thanks for the feedback, for that one even though there is a signal i did not push it through since 5ghz on the roof deck is not that reliable given that there is a low signal that is why i switched to the 2.4ghz. But i think i should have shown it as well on the video for it is still important to show the performance of the 5ghz band.. Really appreciate this, and will take note of this and include it on future videos..
Hi, between the asus gt ac 2900 and asus ax4200, which will be better. Thanks
i have not tested gt ac2900, but per spec sheet the ax4200 have a quad core processor while the gt ac2900 has dual core.
and ax4200 is is already wifi 6 while the other one is wifi 5..
for me i will go with the ax4200..
@@JKChavez Thanks
Please verify whether this router has the option for VPN Fusion client
Hi, i dont the unit anymore, but as I can remember, it has VPN fusion.
Question sir, pwede ko na ba etong asus tuf ipalit sa router na default ng isp ko?
Hi sir, unfortunately hindi po, yung mga third party na available sa market is wifi router lang, walang modem capability kaya hindi mo pede i replace ung bigay ng internet service provider mo po..
Dear sir, can you compare the wifi coverage of 5G signal between the ax4200 and the asus ax3000 (ax58u)?
Hi, unfortunately, i dont have an ax58u to compare it with.
Unfortunately Asus did let us down. Provided great hardware choices but no ability to easily flash OpenWrt on this without a serial connection. This could have really been something.
This is no longer the case. Easy flash now if you look at the openwrt forum for this device
Could u show me a link to this? Trying to find this @@chowchilla9501
pleasevtell me on my question. login is "admin" and what's is first factoty password?
Hi, it might vary on your region, usually the initial password is located at the bottom of the router. and another is there is no initial password, during configuration that is the only time you will create a password.
I updated the firmware on ax4200, the router is dead. It’s a new router and used only for 10 days. I tried all troubleshooting but of no success.
that is sad to hear, is it auto-update? or you manually download the file, the best option is to bring it to service center for warranty..
@@JKChavez I checked for firmware updates, through asus phone app and it found the new update, since it was a new router
Hello badly need help. Na disable ko po yong wifi kagab e, tapos hindi ko na makita sa wifi networks ang name nang wifi namin.
Best option po is lan cable connect laptop or desktop to manage ung wifi router, kung third party wifi router naman po factory reset
Sir pwde po bang gawin yang access point?
yes po pwedeng pwede po..
ou je peut trouve le mot de passe et le nom utilisateur s il vous plait
sous l'appareil, essayez de vérifier sur l'autocollant sous l'appareil
Whats the website you went to
The routers IP address, type/paste it into your browser and login to your router.
pano po pla connection nyan sa modem?
connect a lan cable lang po from any active port sa modem nyo to the WAN port po sa asus router..
Hello po boss pwed po mag tanong yong converge kc nmin is 1500 plan which 100mbps dpt pero naka single band lmg siya bali nasasagap is 50 mbps lng paano po maging 100mbps bibili bako ng dual band na router nalilito kc ako kc may nababasa ako na gigabit na router ata yon dko kc alm yon nalilito ako sana po mapansin
Hi, bago ka mag check ng dual band router po, check mo muna kung anu nakukuha mong speed via lan cable directly connected sa modem router mo po using laptop or desktop, check kung na hihit mo yung 100mbps po, pag okay naman sya pwede kang mag add ng third party wifi router for better wifi network performance..
@@JKChavez wala po kc ako desktop e pati wifi
@@JKChavez pero naka plan 1500 po kmi dpt 100mpbs yon kaso yomg modem po luma na kaya d umaabot sa 100mbps 2.4gchs lmg siya
@@jhonkenethlopez9080 dapat umabot ng 100mbps ung modem router via wifi, issue po kasi pedeng crowded yung area ng wifi network kaya 50mbps lang nakukuha mo, or may problem wifi capability nung modem-router mo po.. or worse is nakukuha mo lang talga kay converge is 50mbps directly.. kaya pag nag add ka ng wifi router pedeng not 100 percent sure na mag increase ung wifi speed mo po..
2.4ghz wifi network can achieve upto 200mbps++ po if in a good environment..
@@JKChavez kc don po kc sa ksma ko naka plan dn sila ng kagaya sakin kaso yong modem nila is updated may 5g na modem sakin luma na umaabot saknila 100+ , tanong klng po kng goods bumili ng router na dual band kc wifi nmin umaabot nmn siya hnggng 70 to 80 mbps gusto klbg sana mag 100
This router does not have any VLAN configuration options in the GUI, which I was quite disappointed by, since I've had cheaper, older, weaker wireless routers that provide this feature. The vconfig command is available via the SSH interface, so why not officially support this?
It also bugs me that HTTPS will only listen on 8443, and the option to change this is read-only. As I understand it, 443 is reserved for AiCloud 2.0, which I have no interest in using anyway, but this router doesn't seem to care to give me the setup that I want.
The security also leaves a lot to be desired. I was shocked that WiFi was open out of the box for anyone to connect to! I had connected my Ethernet cable, assuming I would configure it via Ethernet before connections could be established. This decision will temporarily put networks at risk! All in the name of convenience? It should be an option (eg. hold a button in for X seconds to enable it), definitely not open by default if Asus would take security seriously.
The AX4200 also doesn't care much for keeping your WiFi password secret, opting to show it at every opportunity. eg. Just clicking on the Wireless tab will show the WPA Pre-Shared Key in the clear, without so much as a button to unhide it. Other times during the setup process (eg. after changing the SSID name), it asks the user to reconnect to wifi and prints the password in big letters on the screen.
Honestly, I was quite disappointed with all of this. The hardware itself seems fine, but the software leaves me wondering what the heck Asus was thinking. At least, people in the free software community have successfully modded it to install OpenWRT, which will probably provide a better experience for those who dare to void their warranty.
Does the above things happen to the software of the rt-ax/ax series (eg ax3000, rt-ax55...)? Or just with the tuf series?
@@binhang7611 No idea.
Pwedi ba Yan sa any phone?
pwedeng pwede po..
How many SSIDs you can use on this router?
i dont have the unit anymore, but as i can remember 3 addition ssid's for guests
@@JKChavez thanks. Can you also put the link of your video about the Web & app filtering? I can only browse the time scheduling
@@relaxingnature6721 i wont be able to paste the link, you can check on youtube
"jk chavez asus url filter" you will be able to see the video..
@@JKChavezdo you still recommend this? What router did you change to?
@@unforsaken552 I still recommend this, for this is a good router.
the one that im currently using is still asus blue cave, still saving for the asus rt-ax11000 for upgrade.. :)
Hi. What’s the default password for it?
I have same question. login is "admin" and whats is first factoty pass?
this asus tuf ax4200 or asus ax57?
asus tuf ax4200 or asus ax53u
tuf ax4200.
@@JKChavez why?
@@flywithkurt ax4200 have better ram and cpu clock speed, which helps a lot if you have a lot of devices to connect.
@@JKChavez the ax57 has the same cpu with the ax4200 but lesser ram. Is the TUF better quality?
