This has been a very frustrating experience. After reading so many stellar reviews about this product I decided to buy one (our current router is old and not working very well).However I had maybe two days of enjoying this product before it lost connectivity (both desktop and wireless). It was fixed after unplugging it and plugging it back in, but the problem repeats itself every 1-2 days, sometimes a couple of times a day. I tried updating the firmware (both regular and beta) but nothing seemed to work. There is no pattern. Sometimes it goes out in the middle of the day, other times when I wake up I'll see that it's down again.I'm going to return it and I absolutely would not recommend this router to anyone. It's a shame because when it works, it works great. But the problems with it have been far too frustrating.

I purchased this router based on good reviews. I got the router and first thing I did was upgrade the firmware to 2.1.1.1.78.Update was successful and then I proceeded to configure the router. It worked well for few hours and then I noticed I lost connection. I waited few minutes but the signal didn't come back; I had to restart it. Over the last few weeks it has been the same everytime I used it; the router works for few hours and then drops the signal. Today it has gotten worse; I restarted the router, I see the signal, but I get no IP assigned to my laptop (tablet and phone also impacted). The connection diagnostic of the laptop says DHCP is not working, which makes sense-I manually set the IP and I am able to browse. Something is wrong with this unit! Time to return it.UPDATE: 1/16/2013I received a replacement from Amazon last week and after having performed the firmware update I can report that this unit is working. I have not noticed any connection drops.

This router is overkill for a VPN connection and what many find when they order this is, it doesn't have DD-WRT installed on it and the DD-WRT setup instructions are too difficult to follow.You can instead buy a $50 TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND Ultimate Wireless N300 Router , Gigabit, 300Mbps, USB port , 3 Detachable Antenna x3/ IP QoS/ QSS Button and set up a persistant VPN connection to allow you to access online content from any location, on ANY device. Search the Amazon Kindle Store for "Completely Simple-Unblock the Internet". This easy to follow step by step guide will help you stream the content you want in just 30 minutes.

This router replaced my WRT54G that had been running non-stop since 2005.I installed DD-WRT on the ASUS router following instructions posted in another review. Flashing the firmware was a pretty straightforward process and installed without a hitch. It's almost unbelievable how powerful a $28 router is when running the right firmware. I particularly like the ease of assigning static IPs and the bandwidth monitoring tools.I can't comment on the stock firmware but it did look pretty intuitive. The router itself does feel a little on cheap side but it is fairly aesthetic -- Time will tell how well it holds up.

So the GUI provided by ASUS on this thing for setup is terrible. I work on computers all day and this was bad enough that it confused me as to what it was doing. It tires to do a lot and has a lot of nice features but the whole thing is too much. I also started having some weird connectivity losses after installing this as my router. I am not ready to blame this strictly on the router since I am not 100% sure this caused the issue.That said if you are tech savy this router can easily be flashed to the DD-WRT firmware and after that setup and everything else is a breeze while still offering the same or better features as the OEM firmware. Once I flashed it everything has been great, one issues with drops (again that could have been my ISP anyway) and performance has been great. If you have flashed a router before or have the technical chops to do so I would recommend this because of the low cost.

This works amazingly at my house. I upgraded to 3 9db antennas and have coverage over my entire house, and on the other side of my pond which is about 1/4 of a mile from my house. I can't complain to much with that. DD-WRT working running on this router allowed me to boost my transmit power to 251mw that coupled with my high gain antennas works very well. I can even get wireless inside my 4,000 square foot shop as long as I keep the bay doors open.If anyone is thinking of adding this router to their house they won't be sorry. I thought about going with a newer router but to be honest my computers don't require that much of a gain internally.

I purchased one of these so that I could hook up my 3tb hd and access it from work and phone. Once it was set up it worked great. AIcould was flawless and the product has been running for 3 months without so much as a hickup. It can handle all my streaming needs and connects everything. The only reason it did not get 5 stars was the initial set up. The back end is a little hard to navigate and it would not work at all with the external drive until I did a firmware update. (really my fault, I should have done that before I did anything else. I know better was just excited to get it.) The nice clean design lets it fit nicely in just about any room and once up and can forget about it.

I needed to replace my Netgear WGT624v3 because I am one of many iPhone 4s users who upgraded to ios6 and now cannot access our home wifi router. After much research, I decided to give this router a chance. I had this router working in a minute.As many have noted in previous reviews, the software on the router needs to be updated. Unfortunately, I did this after adding all 20 device addresses in my household and it was deleted after the upgrade. Kind of a pain, but not a big deal. But thought I would mention it for anyone considering to buy this and adding MAC addresses.The one feature I had on Netgear that this doesn't have is adding a name to the MAC address, i.e. iphone or kindle, so it is easier to track what devices are connected and to know which ones to delete if no longer in use.I was able to easily add static ip addresses for certain devices with no problem.This router does not support the print sharing with my two printers, so I can't comment on that feature. I plan to use the usb file sharing feature, but haven't gotten to that yet.

I've been using the ASUS Wireless-N for a year, now. I wanted to extend my current wireless signal to the back rooms of the house, and it has worked flawlessly for me. I'm a bit surprised that three are so many posts about problems. Perhaps it's because I just set it up and didn't obsess about settings and speeds. It just worked. That seems to be happening to me as I get older...I just want stuff to work, and not have to spend hours tweaking.It is a second AP in my house, and I've never seen it go down or lose IP or anything. I assigned a static IP to it, and the router automatically named itself with a part of the name from my main AP. I would've preferred to be able to name it myself, but didn't see an option for that.In the year, I cannot say that I've had one problem with it. It does a pretty good job going through several plaster walls to the back rooms of the house. I also have a Wii, DirecTV and Networked Blu-Ray player hardwired to the ASUS, and have never had a problem.

I'm replacing a Netgear that I never had issues with. I wanted to add shared storage across devices in my home, so I opted for this. It took FOREVER to get the initial GUI up after realizing my firewalls were blocking it ... not sure why since the I never had issues with the Netgear. Anyhoo ... I got it working, but kept losing internet connection. Checked and rechecked firewalls, still didnt work. Finally rebooted the router ... yea, internet. I updated the firmware with ASUS latest and 'greatest'. Connected a seagate 2T drive ... set it up ... we're all connected. 5 mins later, no internet, no shared drive. If I close my macbook and come back to it an hour later, no internet. I have to restart my computer or reset the firewalls or reboot the router. It's VERY ANNOYING. Still debating if its all worth it and if I should revert back to my old reliable Netgear router sans shared drives.Does anyone know how to work around the firewalls and internet drops? I added the IP addresses and everything on my local network of computers on my safe list, but the router still has issues. I reroute the ethernet back to the Netgear and no issues, so I don't know what the problem is. I've never had so many issues with a router.

This router is not a good choice for the average home user, difficult to setup, and mine would regularly drop the internet (WAN) connection. However I purchased this router with the intention of re-flashing with the latest open source DD-WRT firmware, after I did that the router worked fine. Again do not buy this device if you have no experience with routers, I have set up dozens of home/small office routers and this was terrible in it's "out of the box" form. The firmware loaded from the factory might be based on the DD-WRT open source project, but it bears no resemblance to the firmware you can download.

I had a D-Link gamer extreme wireless G router. I loved it! Very granular to the MAC address filtering and lots of other nice features. I bought a Gamer extreme wireless N to replace it and found out a lot of the features from the older router were not included in the new one. I didn't bother to install it and waited for something better to come along.The RT-16 is a kick ass router! It has the features that I'm looking for: Wireless and wired MAC address filtering (not mixed)TWO USB ports!Flash upgradeable to DD-WRT!128mb of memory to play with!The ability to turn up and down the power output on the radio sets. (max is 200mW, but not suggested)Bandwidth monitoring and traffic shaping.The price is right and it's better than what linksys (cisco) and D-Link are putting out now. I'll bet you that Asus won't run out on their little customers like Cisco in partiular and D-link not so much.

My N12B1 (hardware version B1, firmware 2.1.1.1.38, MAC 10:BF:48:BD:AB:xx) arrived on 8/30. I went to dd-wrt's Router Database and flashed it with dd-wrt.v24-16785_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_RT-N12B1.trx and the router entered into an endless power cycling.I managed to flashed it back to ASUS stock firmware with 'Firmware Restore' utility camewith the router. (It is also available from ASUS web site.)The thread below discussed the exact problem I ran into earlier.Please google "RT-N12.B1 Boot looping" or find it in the 1st comment.It also has provided the firmware download URL, which is not available from the front page of dd-wrt.(amazon has removed URL from my post. Please get it from the first comment of this review.)I flashed it to dd-wrt.v24-18946_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_RT-N12B1.trx from router's admin page and dd-wrt is now up and running.------------------------Updated on 9/5:Downgraded it from 5 stars to 2 stars.I have tried 3 firmwares: dd-wrt 18946, 17790, and 2.1.1.1.67 from ASUS. My router has one big problem: "N-Only" modedoesn't work! My iPad and another PC is only 3 feet away from this router. They cannot even play 1 short movie fromYouTube without pauses."G-Only" mode is very stable and smooth. Just like my 6-year-old WRT54G (with dd-wrt).This router goes back to amazon tomorrow.

As other users have reported, this router does not work correctly in Wireless N mode. It works if I force it to slow down and use Wireless-G mode, but if I leave it in Auto or N-Only mode, download speeds are reduced to about 0.5 Mbps, which is much slower than the 19 Mbps that it should be. A single defective unit is fine, but this is clearly a widespread problem judging from other users' comments.In addition, I am just past my 30 day return period, so I am forced to work with Asus's warranty procedure. I am expected to mail in the unit AT MY OWN EXPENSE and wait for them to send a replacement. All the while, I am without a WiFi router (they don't offer to ship the replacement first and then let me send mine in).ALso, their tech support has been poor. The people I have dealt with have no idea this problem exists, so they're wasting my time having me restore default settings, upgrade firmware, etc. Then when I request an RMA, I don't hear back for 3 days so I'm forced to call in to get it, where I get disconnected twice. All this for a $35 router. TIME IS MONEY, DON'T WASTE YOURS ON THIS PIECE OF CRAP.

There was only one spot in my apartment where I got good wireless internet signal (wireless router central to building shared by all apartments), so I bought this router and set it up in that spot as a repeater. It works well, and I get great signal everywhere in my apartment.However, if the internet goes out, or the signal doesn't reach the repeater for some reason, there is no indication. It just appears as if the internet won't load. This router needs to either stop broadcasting if it not connected to the source, or it needs to have some sort of indication that it is not connected to the source.

I was setting up a computer on the third floor of my house and found the signal to be weak from my existing wireless router. I searched for a router that that could be set up as a repeater. In reviewing the "ASUS RT-N12 Wireless-N 300", I found that many of the reviews were good but I was concerned in that I had never heard of ASUS as a company and with some of the 1-star reviews that were given. It was not until I had seen a 1-star review that was responded to by the manufacturer that I thought the company would be worth the risk.The setup was straightforward. There is a switch on the back to set it up as a router, access point or repeater. I set the switch to repeater and connected it directly to my computer. After starting internet explorer, it did not automatically bring up the quick internet setup (QIS) as described. The manual indicates that "If the QIS web page does not appear after you launched your web browser, disable the proxy settings on your web browser". I did not do this, but I accessed the repeater by typing the address " 192.168.1.1". This brought me to the admin login screen. Once I logged in, I was able to put in the required information for my network, rebooted the repeater and it was up and running.It should be noted that once the repeater has gained access to your network via SSID and password, you will not be able to access the ASUS repeater directly since any access will take you to the primarily router on your system (if your primary router's address is 192.168.1.1).Overall, I give the product 4 out of 5 stars. I really appreciate the ASUS feature where there is an actual switch on the back (rather than a software setting) that allows you to select the operational mode (router, access point or repeater). I was pleased with the price of $39.99 and very happy with the quick installation (completed within an hour's time). Although I cannot comment on the ASUS as a router or access point, I am quite happy with the device being used as a repeater. The signal strength is perfect now and has been operational for a little over 2 weeks with no issues. My negatives are that the documentation is a little on the light side and there should be a way of accessing the system even though it is in "repeater" mode.

For those unfamiliar, ASUS routers (at least the recent ones) are based on Tomato firmware, with some modifications. The result is powerful for the advanced users, but easy to set up in the basic interface. I can't speak for the DD-WRT implementation on this router, as I can find no real reason to change from the stock Tomato-based firmware.I only have one complaint about this router: it seems to require a full reboot for almost any settings change. It only takes about a minute for a full reboot of the router, but it still warrants mentioning.I have this router set up using a Verizon USB760 modem (from what I've seen, the best compatability is any USB modem that supports an NDIS connection. I set mine in NDIS mode, then connected it to the router, works perfectly. I have tried without NDIS mode, and it never seems to work.) I got this router primarily because it is supposed to handle USB modems better than the N56U (my other router). It IS definitely better. The first thing I noticed is that once you set it up for a USB modem, it disables the WAN port (the N56U keeps complaining that the WAN port is disconnected).Performance is as I have come to expect from ASUS routers: fantastic. This is only single-band N, but the performance is quite good. The NAT and QOS capabilities are some of the awesome features that ASUS includes. I used to be a stalwart NetGear router guy, until I tried the N56U. This router does not disappoint.If you use a USB modem (make sure it supports NDIS), this is the router to get. It won't break the bank (3G USB routers are crazy expensive), performs well, and has all the features you could want.

I very much wanted a wireless router, and after reading the reviews, I decided this one seemed like a good choice.I spent about 60 minutes with my Internet Service Provider and almost 3 hours with ASUS trying to get this device to work. I am certainly not an IT guy, but I have some idea of how to get things to work on a computer. After 4 hours of trying, the ASUS worker, who was doing everything he could to help me (it was the same guy for all e hours), finally told me the product must be defective. He even went so far as to suggest that companies like Amazon that sell other people's products sometimes check the product first and screw up some of the coding in the process. He said it is also possible that the product was not new as advertised on Amazon. Who knows.The only thing of which I am sure is that I wasted 4 hours of my life which I cannot afford to waste. I wasn't even angry during the 4 hours, assuming it would work out in the end. However, once I realized it was not going to work, my frustration level was as high as it has been in some time as I couldn't believe how much time had been flushed down the drain.

This router is one of the easiest setups I have encountered. Select your SSID, channel, encryption pwd, and you're good to go.Unfortunately, I was only good for about 10 days. I suddenly noticed no connectivity. I figured it was my internet connection and called it a night. The next morning, everything was working as promised.A couple of days later, I not only lost connectivity to the internet, I would intermittently lose connection with the router. It took multiple tries to get connected to the router, and even then, the router wouldn't connect to the internet. I bypassed the router and found my internent connection was fine.There just aren't that many adjustable settings to change, so after 2 hours and I am still unable to get online (my internet service is 100% dynamic) I went to the local warehouse club and bought a top of the line model Belkin. Now I have no problems.Not sure what I am going to do with this. Maybe if I get some free time I'll plug it back in and try to troubleshoot the issue. For now, it's a paperweight.

Purchased this about a year ago. Flashed with dd-wrt (instructions and links are elsewhere in these reviews).Has run flawlessly for the past year with maybe two reboots. Now purchasing another to use as a bridge for the upstairs office which needs wired ethernet access (to replace another ancient router with dd-wrt).Very highly recommended, best router I've owned, and the dd-wrt firmware makes it better than the expensive routers from the major manufacturers. Plenty of online documentation for dd-wrt that can do things routers in the $1000.00+ price range do.

I'm certainly not qualified to give a great review, as this is probably the second wireless router I've ever owned, but I'll share what I think of it. Build is decent. Range seems to be good. I bought this router specifically because it said it supported DD-WRT. I could not get DD-WRT to work. After 2 attempts to flash it, It took me 5 hours and every computer I own to un-brick it. I am using the latest ASUS firmware now. I don't think the GUI is that bad, as mentioned by other reviewers. Wireless speeds don't seem any faster than my Surf router it replaced.Would I buy it again? Maybe as an access point, but otherwise, no.

I bought this to replace a hawking N repeater which was glitchy (it had to be reset daily) and only worked in wireless G, despite supposedly being an N repeater. Therefore, this is only a review of its repeating function.As a repeater the ASUS works great.SETUPI've set up countless home networks with a variety of hardware, so I'm not unfamiliar with setup interfaces, though I'm not a pro, nor am I a computer wiz. Setup for me wasn't entirely smooth, but it only took a few tries to get access to the web based wizard. There doesn't seem to be an independent initial manual setup. Unlike the hawking repeaters (both the wireless G HWREG1, and wireless N HWREN1) it works like a true repeater-- it completely mirrors the original access point/router signal using the same SSID. The hawkings set up like a separate AP with a new SSID, and with the hawkings you can modify the MAC address security independent from the original AP. The ASUS firmware doesn't even have an option to do that-- it all runs through the original AP/router settings. Basically, after you connect it to the original AP, there's really no modifications available, other than IP address and password. Also, it supposedly came with the latest firmware, but it's a little glitchy, but nothing terrible. It won't accept a change of the time zone. The ASUS support site says that the latest firmware upgrade was supposed to fix that, so I tried to reinstall the latest firmware, but it didn't fix the problem. This only an issue for log reports, and as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't really matter.PERFORMANCE/RANGEThe throughput is great, with an expected but acceptable amount of speed loss, and the signal is steady and quite far reaching. The range is better than the hawking HWREN1. Right now it's extending the signal from the DIR655 router at the front of the house. The ASUS is in the very back of the house (maybe 70 ft and 4 walls away from the router-- and the router indicates it's connected at 100%), and the client computer is at the back of the lot (maybe 50 ft and two walls from the ASUS--my laptop's wireless utility doesn't tell me at what percentage or db the signal is, but it ranges from 4 bars "good" to 5 bars "excellent").VALUEIt's much cheaper than other N repeaters out there, and I would highly recommend it. I'd say it's a super bonus that it's also a router or AP, so at some point if I no longer need to use it as a repeater, I can always use it as the original AP, whenever my dlink DIR655 dies. It's also nice that at some point I can change the firmware to DDWRT, if I ever need to.So in general, I would highly recommend it as a repeater. I think it's much much better than the hawking HWREN1 hi-gain N repeater, and much cheaper. The D-link repeater has gotten terrible reviews (even from people with Dlink routers), and most other repeaters cost twice the price.

I first bought this to use as a repeater. I was repeating my neighbors wireless (with permission) whose router was about 50 feet away in his house. I would get a strong enough signal to repeat, but more often would have to reset the RT-N12 because I'd lose connectivity or have a very slow connection. This would happen sometimes several times a day. Wireless is a mystical animal. I tried downloading Asus' newer software and some 3rd party firmware that others recommend, but nothing helped. The original firmware has been just as effective as any of the others. At first, my neighbor had AT&T, and the Asus had real problems with that gateway. My neighbor switched to Charter with a Netgear router and that worked a lot better, but I would still drop connectivity on a regular basis. I eventually got my own IP and am using the RT-N12 as a wireless router. Its given me no problems for the last month, and handles the 15mbps speed flawlessly. I called Asus about the problem of losing connectivity, when repeating, with my first purchase. They thought I had a bad radio in the router, so I returned it for another one. The new one did the same thing. I was always able to get a strong signal from the neighbor's router, but for whatever reason, the signal from the Asus would drop and no one in my house could connect until I reset the RT-N12.For the price, its a great router. If you want to monkey around with a repeater or a bridge, this may be worth a try, maybe your setup would work more favorably - who knows.

This router, with Tomato firmware on it (newer version, not the stock) has capabilities that are comparable to enterprise routers. I've purchased 10 of these in the last 6 weeks primarily to use for VoIP applications. It's become our new standard for small to medium businesses. The VoIP capabilities make this router perfect for home/office/small business to perform QoS that allows your VoIP to work well over your Internet connection.It's not exactly self-explanatory. You do need to be a little techy to get the latest firmware loaded and configured to take advantage of all the power this router has.
