ASUS DSL-N12U
Introduction
For quite a long time our testing laboratory hadn’t got an ADSL-switch at our disposal which
didn’t give us a possibility to test ADSL routers. That’s why when we obtained DSLAM D-Link
DAS-3248EC, we made up our minds to not limit our tests with this vendor’s devices only, but
we also asked some other companies for their ADSL-modem. That’s how we got an ASUS
DSL-N12U wireless router in our lab, and here’s its review below.
External design and hardware
An ASUS DSL-N12U wireless ADSL-router is designed in a black case made of shiny plastic
with a grey horizontal panel and dimensions of 179x119x37 mm (excluding the external
antennas). For its work the device requires an external power source with the following
characteristics: 12V and 1.5A.
On the front panel there is the model name engraved and some LEDs indicating status of the
device and its ports: four for the LAN ports, one for Wi-Fi, an ADSL light indicates the
connection with the provider’s equipment (if it doesn’t work, the further adjustment is of no use),
and Internet shows the connection to the provider in the mode PPPoA/PPPoE.
