Common mid- to high-end routers, Asus and NETGEAR are well-known names. After all, Auntie pushes more and sees more originality.
Previously because of the poor indoor wireless network environment, the ASUS AC-88U was directly used. More than six months of use time was very satisfactory. Therefore, it is recommended that all the friends and classmates in the group enter Asustek's pit.
However, there was always a failure to enter the pit, and there was a third choice, such as the EA7500 mentioned in this article.
Intrigued by the idea of ​​grabbing this router from a friend's hand and comparing it a lot.

Leading the EA7500 such a mid-range route, compared to the Asus NETGEAR flagship and sub-flagship routing package, obviously a smaller circle, packaging protection capabilities are also slightly inferior to a chip, as a return to the Cisco's brand, the leadership is not high profile .
The main body, the power supply, the antenna, and the bonus are also a Super Category 5 cable, in addition to the power adapter.
The power supply is of a detachable design and can be replaced with different adapters, but it still fails to understand the intention of the domestic sales router to provide adapters. This power supply is relatively small compared to the volume of Asus AC-88.
The antenna has three designs. Ever since the previous Tenda route was called through the wall, the effect of the four antennas was very poor. To know this type of router, more antennas do not represent signals, and the key is to look inside.
In terms of volume, the leading EA7500 is of a normal standard. There is no such huge volume as the major flagships and flagships of the major brands. At the bottom is the 13.3 MacBook Pro. The above is a 32k version of the “Relief Shopâ€.
The front looks relatively law-abiding, without refreshing features, but the most important thing is to look at the performance of the router, a lot of positioning of the middle of the router, take the unpretentious design.
The front is a large area of ​​cooling holes, which is consistent with the design style of many mid-range flagship routers.
The bottom has also opened a large area of ​​heat, although the effect is great, but the fall is unavoidable. Wall hook holes are also provided.
The interfaces on the back are as follows. From left to right, USB3.0, USB2.0, wps button, reset hole, and wan jack are in sequence.
Four Gigabit LAN interfaces, and the yellow label is followed by a power jack. The switch button is located on the right side of the power socket, which is too small to use.
Route interface, function listThe routing interface is more concise, the function looks at a glance, will not make people feel insecure, the left menu is a primary structure, there is no secondary hidden structure, the right side of the main part lists the commonly used functional modules, Basically, you can completely understand the functions and operating logic of the entire interface.
The network map mainly lists the devices currently connected to the network. The figure shows two mobile phones, two laptops, and a tablet that I access in the LAN.
The common guest access of this price router, and more practical functions, are similar to the users of my home-area Gigabit network, which are bound to provide convenient read and write editing rights to devices in the LAN and set up separate secure visitors for easy access. Wireless networks will reduce many embarrassing situations.
The parental control function sets access thresholds for devices that access the Internet, making it easier to set up.
You can mount a removable hard disk and set up a simple NAS's external storage function. The access mode can be home LAN access, or it can be an external network FTP mode.
Home LAN access can also set the appropriate permissions, beware of family members do not understand and misuse delete.
In the FTP mode, content is displayed in the form of a directory tree after being accessed by an external network.
Performance evaluation Everything is not based on the wireless coverage and transmission rate evaluation are rogue, the following evaluation is based on the latest firmware of the original factory, the wired network is Gigabit, the read hard disk is the PC side SSD, and the write hard disk is the Apple SSD (faster write speed) This is basically consistent with the hardware conditions of the previous Asus AC-88U test.
Reappear this floor plan that appeared several times in the original... The router is located in the living room of F and G, facing the hallway. Comparative evaluation AC-88U.
2.4G wireless network test 1. Restaurant (F & G)
The EA7500 is a 1900M dual-band wireless specification. In the best signal restaurant, the EA7500 has an upstream TX rate of 130 Mbps, and the Asus AC-88U 217 Mbps.
The wireless signal strengths RSSI, EA7500 are close to -30dbm, and the AC-88U signal is slightly stronger, but for theoretical values, close to -30dBm is an excellent standard.
But what is the actual situation? On the EA7500 copy speed, under the ASUS AC-88U previously tested speed screenshots, both floating around 20MB, most likely just updated the firmware before the test, basically reached the mainstream USB2.0 copy speed.
2. The second bedroom (D)
The two signals in the second bedroom both showed a significant drop. Too much interference in the 2.4G band, plus a wall, can see that the EA7500 model strength is close to -60dBm, and AC-88U strength is close to -50dBm.
The actual situation has a certain gap between the two, EA7500 can reach 10MB per second or so, AC-88U is 15MB per second, the impact is not too great, at least for on-demand movies have nothing to do.
3. Master bedroom (B)
The worst signal in the master bedroom, when the exchange of the router is also the reason, the two signals once again dropped significantly. The EA7500 is infinitely close to -70dbm, while the AC-88U is also somewhat helpless, approaching -60dbm.
The worst signal in the master bedroom, the price of ASUS AC-88U over half the lead EA7500 still did not get rid of the gap. The gap between 7 megabits and 10 megabits per second is not enough to create discomfort.
Using INFUSE on demand movies on the LAN, this transfer rate during the dragging process is not enough to create a buffer, and it can accurately meet the smooth random drag progress bar.
4. Study (A)
In this study location, the signal strengths of the two have picked up again and they are all close to -60dbm. This location had previously used a secondary routing extension, but the transmission rate has improved.
Expected results.
5G wireless network test1. Restaurant (F & G)
In the best signal restaurant, the leading EA7500 and ASUS AC-88U can achieve a TX uplink rate of 1300Mbps, which is still quite good.
The signal strengths of both the EA7500 and AC-88U are close to -30dbm, which is a very good signal range.
There will be a speed fluctuation in the copy file, and the EA7500 again shows a strange phenomenon. The signal strength is weaker than the opponent, and the copy speed exceeds that of the opponent. The scores of 80 and 70 megabits per second have already approached the copy speed of the Gigabit cable network. The 5G advantage is too obvious.
2. The second bedroom (D)
However, the penetrating power of 5G is too poor. The signal that slams at a wall is worse than 2.4G. The signal strength of EA7500 is -80dbm, while that of AC-88U is -60dbm.
Under the 5G band, the performance of the EA7500 is somewhat unexpected. The actual copy speed of the two files is almost the same, which is about 50MB per second.
3. Master bedroom (B)
The worst signal master bedroom, after two walls of attenuation, 5G penetrating power is weak, the test results can be imagined, EA7500 signal strength is close to -80dbm, AC-88U better, close to -70dbm.
However, the test results were half-pounds and the speed plunged to single digits. Only meet the on-demand HD home NAS on demand, the drag process will also produce a buffer.
The 2.4G band wirelessly can smoothly drag the progress bar. Under the 5G band, this signal dead zone will generate a drag buffer.
4. Study (A)
The signal intensity of the study has picked up. The two are -74dbm and -54dbm, respectively.
The actual test speed also reflects this point, but it can be very gratifying to exceed the actual copy speed of USB3.0.
As for the speed of cable transmission, basically 100MB per second can run, and Gigabit cable is still very stable.
The speed of mounting the USB interface is satisfactory. The USB3.0 interface can run to more than 40 megabits per second. 2.0 is surprisingly unexpected. It can actually reach more than 30 megabits per second, which is a bit bizarre.
On the whole, this is a router that can surprise people. Before comparing evaluations, the intermediate routes and sub-flagship routes that I have in mind should have a big gap between wireless coverage and wireless transmission speed. Not so.
If you are not pursuing some function of fever, such as link aggregation, remote download and wake, USB cloud, thousands of routers have satisfied the needs of most users.
It seems that in addition to Asus and Netgear, returning to Cisco’s lead can also be a third option for mid-range routing.
