    Great performance and coverage. I used to have a AP and a bridge to cover my house. Now, I'm not having any problems staying connected on 5G throughout the house. The router is much more stable than my aging DIR-655.

    The setup wasn't too bad. I think the menu options could be a little more streamlined. I use OpenDNS and had a little bit of trouble finding the right place to input my preferred DNS servers.

    This router is #1 on many 'Best Router' lists. However, I found setup to be more than a hassle on my Mac. Sometimes the setup wizard would show and sometimes it wouldn't. When I finally got the networks set up, the 5GHz band was very unreliable. Switching to 2.4GHz didn't help much. Sent this back and got a Belkin N600 for half the price. Couldn't be happier.

        I am not that computer literate. I purchased the ASUS based on the comments about it. It was really pretty easy to install and I have great internet access. My son is at the far end of a 1900 square foot home and before the ASUS he was not getting very good access but now he has full bars!!!! A GREAT wireless router!

It has never dropped the internet since it was installed a month ago and movies download in about 10 seconds. Signal strength is great all over the house.
