Digisol DG-BR5400QAC Review

Digisol DG-BR5400QAC  is an IEEE 802.11ac wireless router that can easily use for sharing an Internet resource and files such as HD video, music, and

documents. DG-BR5400QAC uses Quad 5dBi antenna technology to transmit multiple streams of data which enables you to receive wireless signals faster at your home. Not only the IEEE802.11ac technology extends your wireless range, it also works with previous-generation IEEE802.11b/g/n wireless devices. The wireless router also includes QoS (Quality of Service) prioritization technology that analyzes and separates multiple data streams based on sensitivity to delay, enabling multiple applications to stream smoothly across your network. DG-BR5400QAC supports the following security protocols: WEP, WPA, WPA2. DG-BR5400QAC also supports 64/128 bit WEP encryption which offers the first level of security choice to home users to provide confidentiality of the wireless network. It also provides a provision for connecting USB drives for storing and sharing important files on the network.

The router comes with 4 ports 10/100Mbps LAN, one 10/100Mbps WAN RJ45 port, and 1 USB port.The maximum wireless transmits power is 20dBm and supports three modulation type:' DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK, and OFDM. The router has square design with four antennas at the edges to give equal amount good coverage in all directions.

The router comes with various security features including WAN or LAN, service access control based on source IP addresses, IP filter,  and more.

Setting up the device will take only a few minutes. The simple user-interface guide allows you to add and configure it quickly. The 802.11ac wireless router has 4 antennae that offer good coverage for longer distance. While testing the router we were able to get the wireless connection for more than 10 meters. However, the signal strength weakens drastically due to obstacles.

This 867 MBPS wireless broadband router performed well in out testing. We used an isolated ‘N’ network with the router connected to two machines, one wirelessly and the other with cable. Using the ‘Qcheck 3.0′ benchmark, we checked the average throughput with a 1000 KB payload. In this test we clocked an average speed of 200.43 MBPS which is better than previous routers, we tested in PCQuest Lab. We transferred 61 MB of data from one machine to the other and here too, the time of 3 seconds only. Using Wi-Fi Network Analyzer, we tested the wireless speed of the router and it resulted in 72 Mbps of speed and -67 dBm of signal strength.
