Introduction



When it comes to network security a good networking device such as router plays an important role in protecting your personal files in the computer and keeping away those malware and spyware as well. Asus is known for their high quality PC components and the same goes for the network equipment. Once again they provide me this bad boy for a little walk.

Unboxing


**PRO TIP: TURN ON CAPTION FOR EXTRA LULZ**

Specs





Highlight Features

Guess Network

Capable to create 4 separate SSID for ONLY internet access (No access to intranet and router settings).



USB Application

1X USB port is provided for easy file/printer/3G 4G sharing via wireless.



AiCloud

GUI Comparison

Lulz of course Asus GUI > TM Unifi stock router (the first batch router white orange) GUI. Asus GUI is nicer with blue and grey theme and easy to navigate through settings. Unlike TM Unifi stock router, every settings has a complete description on whats and hows or in other words, user friendly. You really don't need a network engineering degree to play around with the settings if you know what you're doing (No, seriously).


Asus GUI


TM Unifi Stock Router


Example

Conclusion

Pros
• Wide range of coverage
• Hassle free settings with Asus GUI
• More secure than TM Unifi Stock Router

Cons
• Hypp TV not supported
• The antennas are too big and tall
• The router consumes quite big of space

Final Words

How would I say this. The router is just marvelous and performs a lot better than the stock router plus with extra security to keep those pesky hackers away. The only problem is the router doesn't support Hypp TV that comes with Unifi package and that's kinda sad because I myself use Hypp TV quite a lot especially when Astro being a scumbag due to rain. Another problem is the router needs a bigger space and all thanks to those 3 tall antenna. Everything else is just fine and I've been informed that this router will support Hypp TV soon so I really look forward into it.

Hey...can shared about the internal setup..i mean the admin asus page

I included edy. There look up

helo there, have u tried out its QoS aka traffic manager? coz i plan to buy it for replacing the stock unifi router as it cant handle the amount of connection in a 20 persons rented house. moreover there is always some jerks who torrent day and night.

Yes. It's very useful and easy to use to block those torrent devils

I know and it's my bad. Forgot to edit

thanks for sharing bro! btw, are you only using the default automatic QoS or did u tweak the manual settings? cause Asus said by default it will enable smooth online gaming and web surfing.

Depends on the user. As for me, I let all the settings to default except for DNS, IP when necessary

Should ask my old landlord to use this T__T had some terrible experiences due to TORRENTS and XUNLEI!

i change my stock unifi to this. Currently connecting with 10 pc/laptop and 10 mobile phone , it seems like no problem at all. Running at 10mb home unifi setup , torrenting is not a problem as well as online gaming was quite acceptable since it shares by over 20 platform.

at first i was quite reluctant to buy this almost RM300 product(small and seems unreliable), but now im a happy landlord now with no more complains from all my tenants.

The range itself can cover my whole house, add around 20 - 30%(compare to stock unifi router/modem) coverage to the whole entire house with a lot partition.

2 months usage now and have not encounter any problem with it.

Should buy from Lazada. Much cheaper.

Bought two for my parents house... RM465 for two. I bought one way earlier for only RM219.

Yeah. The router now is much cheaper.

i saw lazada also , but for the long run benefit, i choose to give my IT guy the business. Installing cost me rm400 with the router. Since im not always in the country, the amount i paid is better because my IT guy will come fix any problem in future without extra charge. In another way i paid RM100 ++ for personal after sales service.

Anyway , recommended this product for all.

It was cheaper earlier. Now it has become slightly expensive. I dont know if our currency drop has anything to do with this or just Asus being greedy. It was RRP RM249 minus RM30 voucher from Lazada in January. Now it has become RM279 minus 10% discount.

The heck?

so if someone torrenting 24/7 the guy who playing online game still get nice ping?

According to my experience, nope

i thought QoS system could make our online gaming experience still be better even someone is heavily torrenting
or others router could make it happen?

Ohh forgot to add QoS exception haha. If you use QoS it;s another story

with your experience doing review for routers, which routers is good for multiple user that use for online gaming and downloading at the same time but it doesn't effect the ping at all?
still finding which routers that meet my requirement

their usage in torrenting is not that heavy yet. so even when they torrenting, the lag time for gaming maybe for few minutes only.

It depends actually. You have to be more specific for the multiple user. Are they all going for torrent and heavy direct download or just watching YouTube videos and normal web surfing. The most important is your internet package that you are currently subscribe. Even if you buy a RM 1000+ router but only subscribe to Streamyx 1 Mbps, it won't make any difference and the network performance will be still decrease due to the bandwidth usage.

My answer to your question is as long as it's not ISP stock router (TM for example), it should be fine. I assume if other users just using the net for normal web surfing it won't affect your ping as long as you have sufficient bandwidth. Heavy downloads and torrents, no. Asus N12HP is good and affordable. Can be use for long term. Hope I answer your question

I really do hope my ex-tenants are free enough to surf all these. It was a 10mbps unifi but somehow worse than my umobile phone internet. Can you imagine that

Planning to get one because of the vpn feature and price. Anyone tried the vpn feature? Does it work?

Disregard dynamic or fixed ip issue. It doesn't matter dynamic or fixed, in theory as long as we can get the ip it will work right? Just want to know whether it works using unifi. Heard unifi block vpn or something like that.

VPN doesn't work with UniFi if I'm not mistaken

Sorry, i just changed to this from old TPLink.

how to do you set Google DNS? i only can put in primary DNS.

if u wanna create a VPN server it will works.but as a VPN client not sure.

Just got mine from lazada rm230. The Vpn for pptp work like charm. I am virtually getting my office local IP address and network, as if I am in office. All network drive have access and local network program detect my pc as local pc.

Just to update it work for other who are interested.

just got mine yesterday
after finish setup all that thing
how to get to the admin page?
it keep saying need username and password

username: admin
pw: admin

Hi TS,

I'm using streamyx 8mbps now, not sure about getting this model or TP Link Archer D2 which supports dual band and 802.11AC internet.

I'm a heavy gamer and my house there's up to 6 people using, means 6 laptops and 6 mobile devices.

did you turn ur router off occasionally? if not, isit stable while keeping it on for 24/7?

the TP Link modem , i've read alot positive reviews about it, but i've came across few reviews of it being unstable =(

Yes I heard that too but on my side the router is quite stable. I tested it for 2 weeks and only once that I have to restart the router because I got connection problem but that's it. This model doesn't support ac wireless

endorsed reviews are good as advertisement. not a reference, reality may different.

lazada now selling cheapest also need around rm330+- zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... damn currency!

My previous Asus router (RM300,forgot which model), had served me for 7 years happily. Just replaced it with Asus 14-UHP. So much value.

Yea, I bought it when it costs RM299 on ALL IT Hypermart. After just 2 week, the price went up to RM359.

I heard that getting a high gain router like this is not enough... because in networking, it always involves 2 parties (router and device).

So if the router have high signal strength to reach you, but your device is just normal wifi (without high gain signal), your issue is still not solve.

Can someone verify this please?

what kind of device? modem or your wifi adapter on ur pc?

wifi adapter on pc, handphones, tablets, etc as long as it is the receiving end.

Hi. Is this router can be paired with HyppTV?

I am thinking to get a new router to change from the stock one.

And we don't have astro in our condo.. is it advisable to get this?

Yup, its support HyppTV.... been using it currently...

I'm using this router but I felt that the wireless coverage is poor. My room from the router is around 10 steps, but I only got 2 bar (-60 dBm). Is that normal?

Most probably you need to change your signal channel..
Yours currently might be interrupted.

Download a wifi analyzer on my phone, yeah there is some interruption from my neighbors.

Selected channel 1, it only goes up to -50 dBm. I thought the coverage of this router is better than the stock unifi with bigger antennas.

I cant update the firmware to the latest, it keep saying cannot connect to Asus server.

May I ask which one is better? The ASUS N14UHP or ASUS AC51U? They have almost the same price here in my location.

So dual bands have much more wider ranger than non dual band? Sorry I'm a newbie when it comes to this. Because the N14UHP does have 9dbi 3 antennas and the AC51U 5dbi 2 antennas correct? And also they have almost the same price I want to be sure whice one is worth the money to buy with my budget My main purpose for buying the router is to have a good wireless connection that will give enough coverage anywhere in our home. We have a 2 floors and my current router is placed on the 2nd floor and when I'm on the 1st floor the router will be undetected due to poor signal I believe and maybe because of the walls blocking. Can you please help me decide? Thank you so much!

Does this help boost the speed or stability?

it will give quite stable speed, depends on ur ISP package..mine is 50mbps and using RT-N14UHP, DL speed is always 50-52mbps and UL 20-23mbps...my TM router fail at this coz sometimes drop to 30mbps for no reason..

Was recommended to get Asus rt-ac68u by my friend but the price is 900 plus which is quite a lot compared n14uhp.

Chanced upon this thread and was wondering if the N14uhp can solve my issues at home which is unstable speed (cant play dota 2) and bad coverage.

I think its mainly due to too many deviced (ard 10) going at once. Mostly using youtube.

Im on Unifi 5mbps package and house is 2 storey.

Q is this N14uhp can solve my issues or I should look for better model? Just want stable speed and good coverage. Any model welcomed thanks!

This post has been edited by one punch man: Jun 9 2016, 11:07 PM

oh okay. will google up the specs later. where did u bought it, if you don't mind?

thanks!

I just purchased Asus RT-N14UHP to replace the stock Unifi router.
Followed the instructions.
Internet status: Connected
But, can't access anything from web browsers on my Mac.
Updated firmware to: 3.0.0.4.376_3754

Any suggestion?

am think how to set up VPN client on this router, I checked, this model no such function, can use custom firmware?

hello, i cannot reach 30 mbps using the RT-N14UHP, after recent upgrade from 10mb. the unifi technician tested using their router cannot reach 30 mb, is there any setting I should set in the router?

You might need to change to another channel. Sometimes there are some disturbance if nearby router using the same channel.

Manage to get fix VPN Client missing for this Model? Like you said, only VPN Server and there is no VPN Client. Have already install the newest firmware for this model.

hi i need help. does this router support unifi turbo? i subscribe to unifi turbo 800mbps and when i do the speedtest, just only manage to speed around 80mbps.
