The Asus RT-N16 is a decent quality router and has some interesting features which help to set it apart from the competition. Its grown up appearance may not have the aesthetic appeal of the gloss plastic we see from the likes of Belkin but it won't be ruined by dust and scratches in a short period of time.
The ‘Download Master' function will appeal to users who use torrents as it can save them from leaving a computer on for an extended period of time when downloading. The print server function should also prove useful for a number of users.
Unfortunately there is one significant drawback to the RT-N16; the price. At a price of almost £100 at Scan, it is very pricey, especially consdidering it doesn't have a built in modem. So it will only be available to those who have a large budget and are willing to pay for its defining router.
KitGuru says: Another good quality product from Asus which is only let down by its price.
It looks like a very well made product, I like the styling. more business like than something for a kid. The pricing seems a little off as usual for asus however.
If they dropped the price by £25 it would be a better all round purchase. EVerything else looks spot on to me.
A high quality purchase, but sadly a little over the odds in todays market. I think asus need to work generally on their pricing structures. They can get away with it on a rampage motherboard, not so sure this market is as forgiving.
good review Henry, thanks.
Seems like a good enough product. I like the appearance, looks very ‘serious’. some of the routers in our local PC world look like tonka toys.
Asus make quality products, I dont mind paying extra as I know they will last. some people are very shortsighted. I bet that DLINK router you buy will be dead in a year.
Nice article… I would be happy if I see more of those articles because I would like to change my current wireless router (cheap stuff from local supermarket) and those types of hardware I don’t follow…
reading reviews like this can help a lot… 🙂
This is a great site. I think this router is easy to set up/
