  • Since I've recently gotten a full fiber to the home setup, giving me a nice gigabit connection, I've felt the need for a modem upgrade (well I actually got rid of the modem and simply got a router in the end, but that's in the video) since an aftermarket modem from Asus or TP-Link etc. will give you a HUGE wifi speed and range increase over the stock one.
    Initially, I simply looked at the specs a bit and decided "Okay, the best modem on the market, without counting those extremely overpriced like the ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro, clearly is the Asus DSL AX82U. So I simply bought that. The thing is, as you will see watching the video, even though it's a really good modem it has a bit of an outdated UI and still from Asus, the TUF AX5400 is actually better software wise, while packing the exact same processor and switches inside. You lose the support for a modem, but that's not really needed if you have a full fiber setup!
    Let me know if you liked this kind of video, it's a bit different from usual :)
    Here are the links to both routers:

    Here's the electric screwdriver I use for every PC I build:

    This is the small compressor I recommend to clean PCs:

    Ciao,ho comprato questo modem per aumentare la mia connessione lan,me lo consigli?
    Io ora sono con fastweb 2.4ghz e vado sui 90 mbps con il cavo lan connesso al computer.
    Avrò qualche tipo di aumento di connessione lan o è solo aumento riguardo la connessione wireless del telefono? Grazie per il tuo aiuto

      Via LAN cambia poco, a meno che tu non abbia tantissimo dispositivi connessi. Ma se hai un modem pessimo la differenza la vedi. In wireless cambia un sacco però!

      My pleasure man! I spent a lot of time researching it because I couldn’t find info either, so I figured I’d create the info for the next person :)

    Interesting, why they have different number of antennas then?

    • @ImWateringPSUs
      @ImWateringPSUs  Рік тому

      Just for looks honestly, since there are strict regulations of the combined output signal that the sum of all antennas can give out :/

    Difference between rt-ax82u vs DSL-ax82u asus wifi router

    • @ImWateringPSUs
      @ImWateringPSUs  3 місяці тому

      It’s explained in the video! Basically one is a modem router that also supports DSL fiber (non-FTTH) and the other one is just a fiber modem / normal router

    Ciao, io ho la fttc di PosteMobile (cabinet Tim) sai se la versione dsl è autoconfigurante?
    Hai notato differenze rispetto ad una configurazione (modem ISP + router)?
    Ti ringrazio

    • @ImWateringPSUs
      @ImWateringPSUs  11 місяців тому

      Purtroppo no, non è autoconfigurante. Nel mio caso sì, molto meglio averlo nativo come modem/router piuttosto che averne due separati!

    • @ImWateringPSUs
      @ImWateringPSUs  Рік тому

      Yup it will work with Fiber! Personally I’d save the 40 bucks, you wouldn’t notice any difference really!

    Are DSL AX82U and RT AX82 the same thing? If it's right, why do they have different names?

    • @ptcarino
      @ptcarino Рік тому +1

      RT-AX82U is only a home router. the DSL-AX82U is a modem-router.

      They would both be perfect, but yes you do need a very good router!
