Like it love it hate it?

I found the wall penetration to be good in my home (for a wifi router without external antennae), and for some reason one computer has completely slowed down when on the net... but that could be unrelated.

The speeds are good when doing a speedtest.
The "check firmware" function doesn't pick up the latest firmware.  The latest was released only days ago and you can get it from here: http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTN56U/HelpDesk_Download/

Openwrt has been compiled and is ready for the flash happy out here :)
Some of the settings like the DHCP server and manually set IP addresses can be tricky but are very functional and useful.


... So what do other people think?? Do you like it? Have you found any awesome features? Would you rather that My Republic gave us one of those flash routers they are offering to their Singapour customers? (i would have paid for a discounted a 802.11AC router!)

I agree, I would have preferred to pay a bit to get the AC router.

Good coverage and HW_NAT Acceleration works great.Stock firmware is a bit slow but overall an excellent piece of hardware for $50.
