Rt-n15 asus manual

The holes at the bottom of the case are for cool air to come in. Cooling the PCB, this air then leaves the case through the holes at the top. The case of the working RT-N15 is just barely warm. The indicators, connectors and controls are placed like on most other home devices. That is, the indicators can be seen on the front panel from left to right :. The designers have decided to separate the indicators and labels although we guess it would be better if the indicators were shaped like the corresponding icons or letters.

They are large and perfectly visible, but the labels may be hard to see under dim ambient lighting. Blue LEDs are used in the indicators. Although such LEDs are usually very intensive, they do not irritate the eye here.

It was not easy to take the case apart. There are three screws in the bottom panel and a number of latches around the case. And as we have noted above, the antennas are wired on the PCB, too. The quality of manufacture is high.

Nearly every chip is covered with a metal screen, excep the memory chips. From a hardware point of view, the RT-N15 is an entry-level product. It is based on a highly integrated SoC controller RT from Ralink which, besides the traditional selection of devices typical of network SoC controllers, incorporates a MAC controller of the The Gigabyte Ethernet controller even looks more like a processor than the RT Its capacity is 4 megabytes.

Finally, there is a bonding pad on the PCB for a console connector that may be installed to connect to the router via a serial interface. It was not bad but somewhat hackneyed. As usual, we then downloaded the latest version of the firmware 2. Rebooting the device, we found the web-interface completely different — and better! We want to say a few words about the interfaces of modern home routers in general.

The industry of home network equipment, including routers, is not new, but the manufacturers have mostly been focusing on the exterior design and functionality of their devices. Home routers acquired handy web-interfaces long ago but have not developed any further in this respect. The pages with settings are only superficially revised with the release of each new model, acquiring new settings and changing the design of buttons and frames, but remain largely the same in terms of visualization and convenience.

On the other hand, a handy, intuitive and visual web-interface is a necessary thing for inexperienced users to be able to set the device up without problems. So, ASUS seems to be one of the first makers of home routers that make a step towards a truly user-friendly interface. We guess it will become clear as we will discuss its components.

Upon successful authentication you find yourself in the start page of the setup manager. The color palette is very comfortable for the eyes, we should confess. The details of the interface are clear and pretty.

All of this makes using it a real pleasure. The web-interface window is divided into three sections: a header, a navigation menu on the left and a settings area on the right. The header serves a practical purpose here, displaying the current firmware version, SSID and uptime. It allows to change the language of the interface, reboot the router or finish the setup session. The funny face in the top right corner reports the current status of the Internet connection with floating balloons.

The left frame of the web interface displays a menu in which you can choose one of six groups the settings pages are categorized into under the Advanced Setting header and two more items that can be useful for initial setup. When you choose a category, the menu does not show the sub-categories it contains, but it is not a big problem because the settings are distributed among the categories in a logical way and the names of the categories are indicative of their contents.

Besides, if you click the Advanced Setting link, you will see a full list of pages with settings and will be able to jump right to any page with a single click of the mouse button. The rest of the window shows a horizontal submenu the top line listing all pages of the selected category and, below, the currently selected page with settings.

You can hide it by clicking the appropriate icon in the corner. The help system is not comprehensive, but provides a general notion of what the particular menu option does.

There is one user-friendly solution regarding the help system: the names of almost all options are designed as hyperlinks. So you can click any option and read about it in the help system window. The contents of the Network Map item can be viewed right after you successfully log into the web-interface. This item is meant to facilitate the initial setting up of the router and has replaced the quick setup wizard you can see in nearly every home router.

We guess the Network Map is head above every setup wizard we have seen in usefulness, mainly because it is more visual. Do you have a question about the Asus RT-N15 or do you need help?
