Asus Lyra: WiFI cover in the home
Asus Lyra is an access point kit that uses Mesh connection to ensure the best possible Wi-Fi coverage within your home or medium-sized office.
A broadband connection is now accessible in most homes, exploited not only by PCs and consoles, but also by the ever-increasing number of consumer-electronics devices or the various smart home products that are at our disposal.
From this, the need to ensure the coverage of the signal in your home environment is as capricious as possible, ensuring constant, fast access regardless of where you are in the home.
This is the availability of Mesh Access Point solutions that combine small size access points that transmit all over the same WiFi network to ensure better overall signal coverage. It is the same kind of approach that is used in WiFi installations in large public environments such as hotels, congresses or airports.
With ASUS Lyra offers a solution of this type for the home user, offering a 3-point access point kit that can be positioned at different points in the home so as to ensure a signal coverage that is as capricious as possible depending on the Conformation of environments.
Each of the 3 access points integrates support to 3 distinct communication bands: one is used for direct connection to the other two Lyra devices, while the other two are dedicated to the various devices that need to connect to the network between desktop and notebook computers, smartphones, Smart TVs and generally any type of connected device is present in our home environment. The specifications include 802.11ac support, with the ability to simultaneously handle 400+867+867Mbit signal.
Each Lyra device integrates four smart antennas inside it: when one is plugged into his home network, he is directly checked on which of the two best antennas for signal transmission than the other Lyra access points in the network. This ensures maximum transmission speed between the access points, avoiding that one may be a bottleneck when connecting peripherals to the web connection.
Each Asus Lyra unit can be installed in the home environment by lying on a floor or wall mounted using the two dowel options. The circular shape, the simple design and the small size allow you to combine every unit with home furnishing easily: this is one of the strong points of this Asus proposal, especially considering the traditional Access Point and WiFi routers with external antennas. They usually fit very badly in home furnishings.
Each unit is equipped with two ethernet ports as well as a small power supply similar to the size of the smartphone even though it does not have a USB interface. Each Asus Lyra unit can be connected to the system via WiFi connection or interfaced to the network through an Ethernet connection: the latter scenario is the ideal performance point of view, as it forces all data traffic from each access point to the router and not Via WiFi, but it is not always feasible in a home environment.
Only one access point will necessarily be connected to the wired network, becoming the master device in the local network to which the other two Lyra access points will be connected.
Asus Lyra devices can be configured through an app directly from a mobile device: this allows not only to proceed with the configuration at the base of the network and with the access of the various devices, but also to select advanced options that allow, for example, to limit the bands Web connection times for single devices, receive notification of network status or any security issues that may arise.
The operation of the product is the very good overall: the configuration takes only a few minutes, and an adequate positioning in your home environment ensures the ideal signal coverage for all devices in our home.
The overall surface to be handled with a solution like Asus Lyra will have to be adequate: a product of this type has a little sense when the home is small in size but excels when the signal is to be distributed eg on multiple floors, and you want to ensure an adequate Data transfer rates between devices.
Asus Lyra is an access point kit, and it does not work as a signal management router from our Internet Service Provider. It enters our home network infrastructure by joining the router, regardless of whether it is provided by the telecommunications operator with Which we are under contract or a model purchased later, through the ethernet connection.
The price for this kit is $399.99: the figure is high compared to that of a single access point, but allows you to set up a network Mesh quickly by combining access points that are pleasingly aesthetically and far from the typical design of home network solutions.
