We have already seen an ASUS wireless router with similar design, but this is the first time we have ever come across a device that can transmit at 900 Mbps in the wireless segment. Such enormous speed is achieved by simultaneous transmission in each of the two wireless ranges (2.4 and 5 GHz).

Great look, I like the hidden blue leds in front and the Dark knight finish!!! Did not try the stock firmware. Easy installed tomato v108-AIO from Shibby. So great: All the customizations are there... All my devices got connected and speed is great, 5GHz is so fast. This is the perfect router for me!

Got this to replace my trusty wrt54gl tomato router and couldn't be happier with it. I'm using it to stream content to my HTPC over wireless and it does that perfectly.
I am very impressed with this router. I previously used only Linksys routers but decided to try this based on a lot of positive reviews. I can honestly say this router has earned its ratings. I have better 2.4GHz coverage compared to my previous Linksys WRT400N. 5.0GHz, however, only offers a minor improvent in coverage. I am impressed with the speed of it though (on 2.4GHz band). Way better than what I was getting with the Linksys.
This router would be perfect, if it wasn't for various bugs still present in the firmware at the time of writing. However Asus have already released 3 updates in the past month or so, so they seem dedicated to fixing things as fast as possible, so I would still recommend it to anyone looking for a high-end home/office router.

Oh man, When i bought this router I thought I need a 450 wireless adapter to make this fly. I only use the 2.4 connection and it is very fast to my previous router D-link DIR-615 (PoS) compare to this router. It is amazing, i bought it for 159.99 because of the great reviews and I didn't get the newer one cause there are lots of bad review on the newest model. So glad that I bought it. It is only my first day, i am pretty sure i will enjoy it for awhile.
Just upgraded from DLINK D615. Had major WiFi issues with it. This one has been quite strong. My router is upstairs and I am getting amazing signals in the basement. highly recommended.
