After dealing with sub-par routers and unmanagable messes from Cisco and Apple, I looked to my favorite hardware company, Asus, and was very surprised. It just works. It's fast, it's powerful, it's versitile, and it's not bogged down by crappy firmware. Not to mention support for DD-WRt/Tomato...

Best router I've ever owned by quite a long ways. It's extremely fast and reliable. Also set it up with DDNS tied to my server and it works perfectly. Great Buy!
