Bottom Line:I don't often give 3 stars but this router should not have a warranty void since the default firmware is so painfully bad. That said, the router is great post DDWRT but I would HIGHLY recommend those not as savvy to go with something else. Per my experiences, it will eventually become dismally slow and unbearable in terms of throughput if more than one user connects.Pros:Price for value good at twentyUSB Printer function (not tested will update the review when I do so)flashed with DD-WRT it's nice and fastCons:firmware reflashing will likely be necessaryNotes:If you use comcast you need to clone your MAC addressReviewThese are strong words but the default firmware plain and simple sucks. A flat-mate of mine purchased this router as well and I flashed it for her and the difference between hers and mine is night and day. It has slowdown issues, it's clunky and for anyone networking savvy it just screams flash the firmware now! Even if you are only somewhat computer savvy I urge you to research flashing at your own risk in the provided mini guide at the end of this review. On that note, for those who don't know why firmware flashing is risky it is due to the warranty/return void (why I have not flashed mine yet as I may return it to amazon... not sure) and if you lose power during flashing or interrupt it the router will "brick". Meaning it will become un-usuable and therefore like a brick. If you bought this and you are at your wit's end at how slow this is and DO NOT want to return to amazon (and I recommend a return for those not networking-ept), here is a guide to reflashing.NOTE, I AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES YOU INCUR ON YOUR ROUTER. You do the following at your own risk!!Download the firmware1. Go to dd-wrt.com and paste /site/support/router-database (amazon links disappear)2. type in 13u and click on b13. download asus-to-ddwrt.trx< note that I did not need the .bin but you may in the future. Just opt to flash it after you restart in the ddwrt interface >Upgrade your router to DD-WRT1. Connect your computer to a LAN port2. make sure windows notes itself as being connected (even without a net connection)3. Open up a browser and type http://192.168.1.14. type admin for username and for password at the prompt5. if there is a setup prompt telling you to check the ethernet cable just click "Back Main Page"6. go to Advanced Setting > Administration > Firmware Upgrade7. select the asus-to-ddwrt.trx file8. wait patiently! If you don't you risk bricking your router.Again I wouldn't recommend a flash if I didn't feel it was necessary but for this router, if you don't flash it, it is at most a 2 star product. After flashing it does become 4-5.Hope this helps.

I bought this to replace a useless wireless router (Netgear 7550) that I purchased from at&t. I was having tons of problems from the at&t router that their tech support could not help out, so I bridged it into this one. It was very easy and the Asus router walked me through the entire process. I am a hobbyist Linux user and was expecting to install the DD-WRT firmware to be happy with this router. I did not like the stock firmware that came on it 1.1.something something version. I upgraded it to [...] (3.003.434 or something like that) I really like this firmware and have had no problems at all. The at&t router had a bad range and would not allow me to use two XBOX 360 consoles running at the same time through the network. Not even with port-triggering. This router has a UPnP option that works with things like that and is very simple to configure. basically you just enable it and it does the rest. I worked on the Netgear 7550 from at&t for months and could not get that to work.I am very happy with this router and it ease of use, and its ability to grow with my network. If you don't like the stock firmware, check out the other Asus firmware upgrades before you go to Tomato or the DD-WRT.

Since purchasing this back in September of 2012, this router has actually risen in price. It's a nice solid piece of equipment, but the firmware that came with mine was woefully lacking. There has been newer firmware released by Asus, and I've heard that it is better. However, I immediately put TomatoUSB ([...])...the Kernel 2.6 (experimental) for MIPSR2 Routers (Ext version) on mine and haven't looked back. With this router and this firmware I've got everything I need.Out of the box, on the stock firmware, the wireless signal was a little weak. This unit only provides 2.4 GHz band. It is not a dual band router. The 5GHz band offered by other routers is almost useless in my situation anyway, as my signal has to travel through many walls and floors. After upgrading to the TomatoUSB firmware, I was able to tweak the signal strength and get what I was expecting...solid coverage throughout my house.Overall, this is a good piece of hardware with Gigabit ports and decent signal strength out of the box. It gets even better if you're willing to go with a 3rd party firmware and unlock its full potential.

The first RT-N12 I received was DOA, but was sold as "like new." Sounds like several people have had this experience. Second time around, I went with a new one for 10 bucks more. I am comfortable with DD-WRT firmware, and would not even give ASUS' firmware a chance after reading the reviews on it. Some claim they have fixed their problem, but why bother when DD-WRT is going to be so much better anyway?A lot of the problems I read on this site in the one star reviews seem like the kind of problems that DD-WRT would help. One downside is that with the small memory size, only the "mini" build will fit on it. For most home users this is a non issue, but if you want to run OpenVPN or another fancy application on your router you need to move up to at least the RT-N16.If you are unfamiliar/intimidated by third party firmware, don't be too put off by most of the terse warnings on DD-WRT's website. Earlier routers were much easier to brick than these more modern ones, ASUS included. Its still best to follow instructions step by step. There's more margin for error than they'd have you believe, in my opinion. For a $40 router, if you are unhappy with its performance under stock firmware, why not give it a try? In fact, why not give it a try on whatever your current underperforming router is? It might just save it and you won't need a new one!

Сетевой USB-принтер через роутер
Принтер работает ОК (и с запасными чернилами). Наверху сеть через рабочий стол, который должен быть включен в печать. Неприятность при работе на внизу ноутбука. Маршрутизатор не удалось, и оглядываясь нашли ноутбук ASUS. Разнообразные комментарии, особенно, когда в виду настройка. Инструкция не указывает на Win 7, но отдельно от моих глупых недоразумений некоторые инструкции установки была прямой. Я сейчас печать с любого компьютера через роутер без проблем. У меня остался оригинальный кабель для принтера USB, подключенного к системе, которую я подключиться к принтера когда хочу сканировать. Я не уверен, что это можно сделать, хотя маршрутизатора, но работать на нем позже. Установленная на Рождество и был идеальным после установки.

*Update 10/07/2011*After much frustration with my entire home network, I've updated my entire network to use this as my main router. There was something odd using stock firmware with my two routers together. I set up the Asus RT-N12 as my router and my netgear WNR3500L as my repeater. After loading Tomato on my Netgear, I still couldn't get it to play nice with the Asus RT-N12. So i bit the bullet and flashed the Asus with DD-WRT. After configuring the new firmware, they started playing nice. It's been a week and I've had a stable connection ever since.The Asus RT-N12 is a very capable repeater for the price. I don't know how it works as far as a router or as an access point since I'm haven't used it in that fashion. As a repeater, it works great after I updated it to the latest stable ASUS firmware.UsageI am using it as a repeater for two computers in my office. I have a wired switch that I could have used, but didn't want to drag a cord halfway through my house where everyone walks, so I have wanted a wireless bridge.DesignIt's not the best looking router around, but who really buys a router based on looks alone. I like the white shell around the top and bottom and the silver ribbon around the middle where the lights are displaying what is and isn't hooked in.The inclusion of the 3 way switch makes it super simple to switch between a router, repeater, and wireless access point. It comes with a uplink port and 4 10/100 ports. The RT-N12 is using the Wireless N standard at 2.4 Ghz. It's not dual band, but that's ok for me. I live in the stix and there isn't too many competing signals.The antenna's come disconnected out of the box, but are really easy to screw in. Not much else to it. It doesn't have a USB Slot for network sharing, but that's ok since it was pretty cheap.FunctionalityOut of the box, it was super simple to set up. I switched it to repeater mode, plugged it in and went to the router maintenance screen. I then connected it to my wireless network and I was up and running. Odd thing happened though. Wirelessly, the router worked fine with most of my devices. I tested it on a Motorola Atrix, iPhone 4, iPad, and my Vista box. My wife's Window's 7 Laptop wouldn't connect to the internet. I was able to get a successful IP from the router, but no internet. After a firmware upgrade to the latest stable release, that solved all of the problems I was having.ConclusionIf you are looking for a cheap repeater for a media center, office, or whatever you would need it for, this is a good investment. It's easy to setup and get going. Just make sure you upgrade the firmware to the latest firmware if you are using Windows 7 to avoid any issues with the wireless connection.BTW, I would have flashed to DD-WRT if the latest firmware didn't work. I just didn't have the time or the need to tinker with it since the upgraded ASUS firmware did what I needed it to do.

Pros:Price2 USB portsLarge memory capacityCompatible with DD-WRT and Tomato firmwareConsStock firmware has much limitation, and rather buggy, even after updates from Asus website.USB transfer speed seems to max out at just over 2MB/sRuns rather hot.I got this refurbished, so pricing was as good as it gets. I chose this for its USB torrent capability. After trying out all versions of Asus firmware, latest DD-WRT, and Tomato USB, I eventually settled for Shibby's Tomato build. It was a very pains-taking process to have to figure out how to work in so many firmware, and several times I encountered firmware installation failure that made me almost gave up on the router. But with perseverance and the wealth of related info to be found on the web, I eventually got it running stable using Shibby's Tomato USB firmware. I also added a cooler on the chip as it ran rather warm.So this is a very good buy for those looking to mod the firmware and for the USB ports. But not for the faint of heart with regards to modding to 3rd party firmware.

I had never tried an ASUS networking product before, but the overall beastly specs for the price of the RT-N16 were too hard to resist for an IT geek like me. My dad and I each ordered one for our homes and flashed them with DD-WRT.Mine had problems out of the box. Once I got mine set up, I immediately noticed a stronger signal in our home. However, over the course of a few hours, our laptops would gradually drop from 6 bars (full signal) to 5, then 5 to 4, then 4 to 3, and all the way down until the connection finally dropped completely. Resetting the router would fix it temporarily, but it would just happen again a few hours later. I tried increasing and decreasing the transmit power, downgrading from DD-WRT Mega to Standard, flashing the stock Asus firmware, and it continued to do the same thing. I even opened InSSIDer once and just watched the signal strength decline slowly but steadily.My dad's RT-N16 didn't have the same problems, but his were no less annoying. My parents have a Roku and frequently watch stuff on Hulu/Netflix, and the Roku always showed a full wifi signal coming from the router. But as soon as they started streaming a movie or TV show, BOOM - all wireless devices connected to the RT-N16, including the Roku, would be dropped completely. Dad would go reset the router and restart the stream, and then it would work fine for a few hours. They could even do web browsing from their laptop for days after that, but if they tried to stream again, the Asus wifi would crash again.Dad kept his RT-N16 and now simply does a preemptive reboot of his router before they sit down to watch anything; I returned mine for a refund. I thought about just exchanging it and giving it another try, but in my quest to find a reliable wireless-N router this was the fourth in a row that I was having trouble with. Given our personal experiences with the RT-N16 I didn't want to risk more headaches and connection issues, so I moved on.I ended up punting on the "home user" stuff entirely and going with a small business router + small business access point. It cost (quite a bit) more, but the outstanding reliability I now enjoy has been 100% worth it.

I purchased this router with the sole intent of getting a stable hardware platform, while knowing I'd likely flash the firmware to tomato or dd-wrt. It seemed well-reviewed for hardware, and criticized for its oem firmware. Frankly, I ordered the D-link DIR-655, but later learned that its usb ports were not freely shared as the product description suggested, and wouldn't play at all with macs, so I sent it back. In addition, there seemed to be lots of reports of the DIR-655 dying after 5 months.The negative reviews on the RT-16 seem to be related to stock firmware, heat output, and occasional short lifespan. Everything out there seems to have bad reviews on lifespans... I *hate* having to reboot routers, and a reliable platform was critical for me. And tomato on the trusted WRT54 (R.I.P.) was SOLID.The RT-16 is slightly larger than many offerings but is a nice rectangular brick... easy to stack. It also has keyholes in the bottom for wall mounting. Nice. Var better than velcro-tying it to the wall in the closet like my previous router.Out the the box, it is nicely assembled, and I went straight for the tomato flash. No glitches. Went through the configuration and hooked it up.It does get a little warm. No it's not hot, but it's a good bit of warmth for chips that don't have heatsinks on them. I dialed the power output back from the stock 17 to 10, which may have reduced it by a small margin, but not much. I've ordered heatsinks... and the case has enough room to add them without cutting holes.Works nicely. Even at 10db output it covers our home well. The only hitch I ran in to was with security settings. We have an older laptop that does WEP but not WPA. The combination of WEP, the RT-16, and tomato v 54 was a NO GO. Pings approached 3 seconds or just dropped altogether. Essentially zero connectivity to anything. Changed to WPA2 (will have to do something else about the older laptop) and it's been good since then.I haven't set up the USB ports yet, but I read that the throughput is pretty slow. Fine for a printer, not so great for a network disk, but usable with normal sharing standards.... cifs, ftp, etc..AFA number of stars... I can't vote per usb performance or even how good or poor the oem firmware is. So this is strictly on hardware. I'd give it 5, but will dock it one due to the extra care they could have provided in cooling. My guess is, in it's original form, heat will kill it outside of 2 years. But that's just a guess. That's still a good lifespan in this market (unfortunately). Another $3 worth of heatsinks and it'd probably last 3-4....

This buy can be gnarlyWe got it in fall of 2011 it started going bad (losing connection with internet) after about 7 or 8 months.After fighting with ASUS for a month they finally gave me a RMA # to return it and 2,5 week later i got another refurbished one back... Same damn problem couple days into it it started to lose connection with the internet.Again got a stupid RMA number and send it in... 2,5 weeks later got the same router back same damn problem... only it got worse (no internet at all)Talked to a worthless rep on the phone and he said that they would send me a NEW one...So today 1-31-2013 on the interweb you can check your RMA status and it says, "Product repair is in progress". So I called the call center again and this guy told me that, oh no sorry sir but we can't request a new one! It has to be checked out and then they can decide if to sent a refurbitched one or a new one or prehaps the repaired old one.They just blatantly LIE to you there... tell you what ever you want to hear, blowing smoke up your a ssI am tired of ASUS and there worthless repair shopThere were a couple more things that happened but I am sick of it for now

Copied from my review at Newegg:Pros: Nice form factor. Very sleek. Great performance if you know how to use dd-wrt. I was able flash dd-wrt.v24-19519_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_RT-N12B1 to the B1 just fine. After setting up the main wireless security and an open test BSSID, I noticed that upload speeds were fine, but download speeds were abysmal. I turn on "afterburner" to "Auto" (Wireless->Advanced Settings) and BINGO!--I was now seeing 20Mbps-40Mbps down. Those wireless speeds are just short of what I see using Cat 5e with my Comcast service. Oh--and this router is nearly "unbrickable"--any time I flashed a bad firmware (TomatoUSB--see below) and it seemed that I had corrupted the router, I just had to put the router into "emergency mode." Once in emergency mode, I could easily put Asus firmware back onto the router using either the firmware restoration tool, or by going to 192.168.1.1 and using the router's built-in interface. This is a very robust little router--and for very little financial investment, too! Also, most people believe this router has only 4MB of flash. I've confirmed that it has 8MB of flash!Cons: I have not been able to successfully flash TomatoUSB onto this router. Every attempt has forced me to restore Asus firmware via Asus Firmware Restoration utility, which I then replace with dd-wrt. Something about this router makes Tomato a significant challenge. No USB? The cpu supports it!Final thoughts: Okay, so I cannot get TomoatoUSB onto it. DD-WRT v24-19519 is an amazing build and it turns this <$50 router into a $200-400 router. Gibson firewall test shows this router successfully stealths all ports. It's fast, it's secure, it's slick, it's also very resilient. Thanks, Asus!

My review of the Asus RT-N16 starts off with good points: 4 GB wired ports, attractive and fairly easy web based configuration. Good wireless signal--nothing to complain about there. Also, attractive looking unit. All works well except for the following: on-line gaming, specifically video games hosted by Rockstar.What I discovered is that this router is probably setup with a very high NAT security with no easy way to set it to what most routers would call the OPEN NAT option. The default NAT (or some other option) prevents certain players to be able to join in the same game depending on how THEY have setup their ROUTERS. A call to Asus tech support and my own research was a complete waste of time on how to set the router to NAT OPEN or its equivalent setting. Note: there a few built-in settings for several games but not the one I usually play.To overcome this issue I made a direct wired connection from my cable modem to my Playstation 3. This enabled me to verify that the default RT-N16's configuration blocks me from gaming with certain of my on-line buddies.Luckily, I kept my older router. The on-line gaming issue was solved very easily this way instead of the hard way mandated by spending hours to nail down a solution with the RT-N16.If anybody knows how to make the RT-N16 work better with the PS3 and on-line gaming, I would appreciate your input.

So I bought this Router, and got it just before Christmas. I had a lot of family coming over and they were all bringing laptops, ipads, kindle fires, web supported cell phones, the point is, I needed my wireless signals to get in gear. I had a fairly new Linksys that was as reliable as a Linksys router can be, I mean compared to the other ones on the market Linksys is the best. So I read some reviews and I took a risk on this ASUS router. Since a lot of wireless devices were coming over, I decided to set this router up as a repeater, so more devices could be connected at once. Apparently this router is so good, that you don't even need the CD to set it up, so I decided to check that out. I set the router to repeater mode, hooked it up to my laptop, and it connected and was broadcasting a signal in a few clicks, it worked flawlessly throughout the holidays, No CD required. After the family left I just left the ASUS in repeater mode for the boosted signal strength so I could have a better connection downstairs. But that damn Linksys was still giving me problems, I still had to reset that thing a few times a week. I got sick of it, and pulled the Linksys off, and put the ASUS in its place. Setting up the ASUS as a router required the CD, it almost worked without, so some people might be able to do it. It was easier than setting up my Linksys router, but just a little bit easier not super easy. But, not only do I have great signal strength downstairs compared to the Linksys, but its been running for 20days straight with no problems, and setting up the passwords were super easy, and I feel the security features are much better with the ASUS, and if your a bit techy there are lot of additional options, if you are not, you can just ignore them, and it will work great. So not only is this router a 3rd of the cost of my Linksys router, it works better, it was easier to set up, and it has a better signal strength.So in case your not sure, all I'm saying is if you are looking for a new Router, buy this one, NOW, what are you waiting for.update 09/08/12I had this router for 8 months now I had to restart for this first time a few days ago not because my router was giving me problems, my modem failed me and I had to restart it. I am so happy with this router I am buying another one thank you ASUS for the great product.

almost everything about this router is "ok". It slows down communication noticeably but, I am still able to play online games with only 1 meg internet.the part that I hate about this router is its inability to port forward.the process to do so is first confusing and very difficult to figure out on your own. In case someone else tries to later you have to;1. manually assign an ip2. add ports to your "virtual server" listthe problem you will run into though is it only lets you open the port for one device for example,star trek online wants ports 7000-7500 open for game communicationi can open these ports but only for one device.so, if i have them open on my desktop a friend cannot play with me on their laptop because their ports 7000-7500 cannot be added to exception list because "this entry has been in list".I went to customer service for help and it was anything but. they wanted to know every meaningless fact about irrelevant things and i spend 20 minutes telling them my phone number etc when i just needed a 2 minutes of knowledgeable human contact. They were defiantly not american and couldn't understand anything i said i had to spell out my computer make and my name by going d and in dog etc. After this long run around they said they wanted $50 to forward a few ports for a second device! so much for customer service...Asus may not be an incompetent company but this router experience has defiantly turned me off from their products.

I will have to say Im a long time Asus customer, love their product until now. Im an IT person working at an IT company and have been using the RT-N13U Rev. B1 for some time. This model has more range and reliability than the numerous mid-end routers my company has tested for a great price. Recently however, I ordered 3 and 2 out of the three experienced the same issue. Two days after installing at 2 different locations I get calls about network issues. Upon arriving I notice the power light is not working. All of the rest of the lights are working correctly but network strength is very poor. I guess I may have just gotten a bad batch but can no longer recommend these routers to customers or use for network installs. Very Disappointed!!!!PS. Amazon's return process is not very delightful for the customer. It does not give very much information on the time it will take to process and receive a new product or credit which translates into me having to take care of customers otherwise. I tried through the Asus website which says it has no data on the warranty. I just wish it was easier when I receive a product that is pretty much D.O.A!!!

I bought this router because I had weak coverage in my 156m2 apartment. We are in Brazil, and here the walls are brick and there are also lots of concrete.My old Cisco WRT 160N V2 was enough to cover the TV room (where it was installed) and my bedroom (with a weak sign) these two rooms are approximately 15 m from each other and have two brick wall separating them with a bathroom in between.I installed the ASUS RT- N16 using the clone WAN method explained in the brochure and it worked right away, but the signal was worst!I tested using the COPEL site (Brazilian) and I got 4.8 MBps with the ASUS versus 10.6 with the old Cisco... I am puzzled; apparently router quality has decayed over the years!I will try now using the ASUS as a repeater to my Cisco signal, if does not perform well I will return it.

I've just started using this router. The firmware that came with it wasn't as featured as DD-WRT and kept disconnecting all clients often during they day. I'm familiar with DD-WRT and it is easier to sift through to set up than the firmware that came with this router. It's notorious that Asus firmware/software/drivers are not so good. But that's okay, they make decent hardware otherwise.Before I had this router, I had a Linksys WRT150N, and 80ft away I could only get a 12-20% signal, now I get 35-40% signal. The WRT-150N was decent in it's time, but now I'm going to use Asus for now on.I don't actually like that it is white, but it's a D'good router and I'm happy to have spent the money I spent on it. Before with the dying old router, my internet connection was pitiful over wireless and it would disconnect often, with this Asus, I've found stability in LAN and WAN.BUY THIS ROUTER, IT IS THE BEST!

First of let clarify that I am using and have used this device only in the repeater mode so I cannot review the other modes.I recently find myself in need of wireless repeater/bridge to use in two different spots in my house to connect my computers and device to my network without having to rewire the whole house! I work in IT and I ran a business at home so I have couple of servers and bunch of desktops and this is why I needed two repeaters.I am a big fan of ASUS and I've been using their motherboards and graphic cards for years now in my own servers and desktops as well as most of the custom built PCs and servers that I have done for others. So, I was not worried about brand reputation and support issues but I was a little bit hesitant because I never used ASUS networking equipment before. But overall the price (almost half the price of other comparable devices from other brands, features and specs where excellent. Also, I knew that I can always return it to Amazon so, I ordered two.I opened the first one and setup was a breeze, it was up and running under 15 minutes. The repeater functions flawlessly and connects to my D-Link Extreme N Gigabit Wireless Router DIR-655D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Gigabit Wireless Router easily. I especially liked the fact that setup was much easier compared to some of the 3rd party firmware that I used on other wireless routers to convert them to repeaters.I would give it a five star if it wasn't for one issue: you cannot use two of these in a repeater mode on the same network. I figured that out when I opened the second one and started to configure that and I noticed that it will not connect to my wireless network. After 30 minutes of playing and restarting the second one, finally it connected to my wireless network but I noticed the first one was disconnected. After couple of hours of trying different configurations I could not get both of them to work at the same time connected to the same wireless network. It seems that in the repeater mode you cannot change the device name (I don't mean the SSID, the actual device name). So, essentially I ended up with repeaters with identical names on my wireless network. I suspect that was the root of the problem. So, I kept one and returned the other one to Amazon. Currently, I'm using an older Linksys wireless router with dd-wrt 3rd party firmware on it as a second repeater.I also, want to clarify that I didn't do any further research and didn't contact ASUS for support simply because at the time I didn't have more time to spend on this problem. So, there might be a solution to this issue.

There are too many reviews on this already, so I will just point out a few things I like about this router.Mac Cloning - My ISP lock my internet to the MAC address of the router they provided, this router can easily clone MAC address.DLNA / FTP / Printer / Cloud server - This is so cool. There are two USB ports in the back. You simply connect your USB flashdrive or harddrive to it, log into the router and enable your choice of networking service for it. So far I only tested the DLNA feature, but it work without any problems, Windows Media Player and XBMC was able to detect the videos in my flashdrive and play it smoothly.Decent signal - It's not amazing, but I'm able to get good signal throughout the 1200sqft house and even a little outdoor.DDWRT - It work with DDWRT firmware, all you have to do is download the correct firmware and flash it. However, I prefer the original firmware with the easy interface.

I've had this thing for over two years and it is a constant source of frustration. If you want your connection to randomly drop down to 1mbps, this is the router for you. You will have random connection problems seemingly out of the blue after weeks of steady performance. It will drop your connection in the middle of a game, streaming videos, and transferring files.I've done just about everything to troubleshoot the issues with this router. DDWRT. New antennas. New wireless adapters on the clients. Heatsinks on the chipset. Adjusting power. Setting fixed channels. Setting fixed bandwidths. Twenty Hz. Forty Hz. This and that. On and off. I've concluded that this router is just a piece of junk.Don't let ASUS's good reputation fool you. I like all their other products, but they really dropped the ball on this one.

I purchased this product because I have ASUS laptop. Brand new router did not work. I returned it to ASUS (had to pay shipping) and received the refurbished router with only 90 day warranty (although my new router had 12 month warranty). This one works, however, every few days, it loses the connection. I was unable to get my printer to print wirelessly, even customer service was unable to figure it out. ASUS customer service is terrible. You have to wait on hold for an hour just to be transfererd to voice mail and they never call you back. If you are lucky to get thru the customer service, they are very slow and lazy and never resolve your issue. Since I have ASUS laptop, when I call the router customer service line, they always transfer me to ASUS laptop line claiming that is a computer issue, then the ASUS computer customer service tells me it is not their issue, but router customer service issue, etc. I never had my issues resolved thru customer service line. Do to buy this item, you will only have trouble with it.

I of course immediately installed DDWRT on this box after I got it, ran into some issues, realized I needed to run the latest release from the wiki entry instead of the stable release listed on the site. Since then, it's been running quite stable, with great performance, however, it does tend to run a bit hot, and after a storm, for whatever reason my WAN and Port3 ports both stopped working (no link lights or anything, even after reflashing to both stock firmware and latest DDWRT). ASUS wouldn't allow me to do an advanced RMA so I ended up modifying DDWRT to use a different port for WAN, and have limped along since. Waiting for it to die before I buy another, will probably end up waiting for 802.11ac to become widespread first, unless I decide to just move to power-jack based adapters first.

I bought this to supplant a Linksys WRT-54G with DD-WRT that was being a bit cranky. I specifically was looking for a DD-WRT router as the Linksys was set up with it and it is definitely the way to go for router control.It took me about an hour to install DD-WRT and cut over all the settings from my Linksys. I duplicated everything so I would not have to reconfigure any of my other devices once using the Asus.My son asked me later what I had done to the router as his throughput had increased by a factor of 3. We are limited obviously by what the devices will support in our hardware, but his tests indicated a significant increase speed. I attribute that to much more computational speed and more memory on the Asus than the Lynksys.Highly recommended.

Ok, note that everyone thinks they are a computer or network expert. Note that everyone says "I work on computers all day" Note that this is a wireless N router for less than $30 bucks.Flash back to 2001 or so - Linksys 54b (old slow B) is the top dog, costs over $100 dollars, limited power, limited software, slow wireless, etc.Now for less than $30 you get Fast Wireless N, adjustable Power output, multiple wireless mode selection (bg, gn, n), router-repeater-access point selection, custom access rules, built in guest and multiple user profiles, auto-firm update, power conservation, all with the built in software - flash DD-WRT and this little thing is jam up if you need that much customization.Do you need to be techie to use it, maybe, but if your not you can't do much more with the Cisco easy setups or any of the others brand easy setup programs.Bottom line - this is a lot of wireless router, repeater, access point for the money.Good job ASUS
