This router is very good. I added it to my network since my modem/router from Rogers is just not up to the task for good high speed wireless to 3+ computers.
I bought this router to repace a failing DLINK DIR-655; this router is faster, and the internal antenna seems to work better than the three external antennae of the DLINK. I get a full wireless signal throughout my house with the ASUS in the exact same position as the DLINK was. The DLINK, even when fully-operational, only gave me a 65% connection at best.
Have been using this for 3 months now and no hiccups in performance and usage. I get very fast speed on my network and setup is extremely easy. There is a great amount of customization in the settings which is superb and the UI in the router itself is really helpful in setting it up the first time. For a hundred bucks, this thing should last you a long time and it looks just great in my living room!

I replaced a baked Linksys / Cisco WRT310N with the RT-N65U. I purchased and installed an Asus router for a colleague several years ago (WL500GP) and I was impressed with its features and its robustness. My colleague insisted on keeping it “out of sight” in a closed cabinet where it (too) baked for hours on end without skipping a beat. I’m pleased to report that our friends in Taiwan have not been slumming. The N65U is a delight.
