The Asgard technology is somewhat inconsistent for mostly story reasons. Such as such as weapons being how ever powerful for a storyline needs one moment they don't do anything to a goa'uld ha'tak next it can destroy an ori ship in 2 shots.

As for the hyperdrive thats somewhat easier to explain. In SGA it's shown the Ancients/lanteans have 2 hyperdrives. One is for going from one galaxy to another one. The second is for in galaxy travel. The difference was speed. The Asgard most likely had multiple types too from making it harder for replicators to have a ready to use hyperdrive that can take them to another galaxy or to the Asgard capital planet at the drop of a hat.
