I am about to buy a SOHO type router and have shortlisted : BRT-AC828 and GT-AC5300.
Based on experience, can anyone help with understanding the main differences between those two models and their value?
I'm somewhat tempted to the "business" one, just for future proofing but not sure if I would be loosing/gaining compared to GT-AC5300.
Software options and maximum control of all aspects of the traffic are most important to me
I understand both devices have 8 eth and support ethernet port aggregation of max 4 ports?
Just looking through specs now
https://www.asus.com/Gaming-Networking/ROG-Rapture-GT-AC5300/specifications/
https://www.asus.com/us/Business-Networking/BRT-AC828/specifications/
BRT seems to be older and with lower specs anddoes not have anything super special to justify the premium .. or am I missing something?
What is the difference between SmartQoS and AdaptiveQS ? Does the ROG Raptor support
- WMM
- User definable rules for IP/MAC/Port
- Upload and download bandwidth management
- ACK/SYN/FIN/RST/ICMP with highest priority
and static link aggregation ?
