Best Wireless Router I've ever used!
by GenghisPrime on July 8, 2012
Pros: I truly enjoy everything about this router... the range is incredible!
Cons: It has a VPN Server, I only wish it also had a VPN client to connect to other networks. The old web based admin had an issue with port forwarding, however, I loaded the latest version (beta version) of the new interface and it fixed ALL my issues.
Summary: My home is rather large (4,600 SQ. FT.) and thus I had an issue with the wireless reaching my front family room TV/computer setup. I purchased this router ...

Summary: My home is rather large (4,600 SQ. FT.) and thus I had an issue with the wireless reaching my front family room TV/computer setup. I purchased this router to replace my Apple Airport Extreme as a last ditch effort in an attempt to keep from wiring the home. The Asus RT-N66U 100% solved my problem. I can now watch HD movies wirelessly movies anywhere in home. For giggles I tested watching movies on the laptop in the front and backyard.... it now works there as well! None of my computers have the dual band cards... I can only imagine what type of throughput I'd receive if they did. In closing, I get now 60mbps down in the family room... before purchasing this router I would only receive 1 - 2 mbps down at best!!! Make sure you use a wifi security key... if you don't you will run the risk of your entire block connecting through your Internet!!!

I highly recommend this router
by renlundjr on March 22, 2012
Pros: Great range, covers a 4000 sqft house and the basement. The USB file sharing port is still a little slow, but works for movies and data files. I didn't use all of the fantastic features available, but will list some of them. You can set up 6 guest netwo
Cons: The printer server is terrible. It only took a couple minutes to set up, but the printer drops off-line all the time. Also the Dashboard UI needs improvement. Last minor gripe is that you can't tighten the 3 antennas on the back sufficiently. They loos
Summary: My last router was a Linksys E3000, this router is supremely better. I would recommend paying the extra money for this router over any other in it's class.

Summary: My 6 year old "G" Router died, so I replaced it with a LinkSys EA4500. That router did not have the advertised range, and it was hard to connect to it with my Laptop, Ipads, Iphones, and PS3s. So I replaced it with the ASUS Dark Knight. This router is awesome! It covers over 3000+ square feet easily. Places where I used to have a wifi extender! Superfast speed and awesome range! Hands down it kicks the Linksys' butt! Go Get it!!

I own the linksys e4200v2 & the Asus RT-N66U
by hefty1211 on April 20, 2012
Pros: My Asus out preforms my linksys Outstanding gigabit ethernet throughput. I have my cable company's top tier speed which tops out at 100Mbps,yet with the Asus I'm clocking 128Mbps-135Mbps. The wifi range is good,reaches all the way around my house.
Cons: Availability. For months everyplace online was out of stock. Also updating the firmware was a little tricky.
Summary: Absolutely hands down the best router on the market,if we;re talking about dual band N900 routers

Best router, PERIOD! This one rules them all!
by 6mailbox0 on December 20, 2012
Pros: n900 / true dual band / DD-WRT supported / stable, functional firmware / runs cool / full feature set including QoS and VPN / value priced / full 5 bar signal in every room of 2000SF house!
Cons: I can't think of any. Really, it's just the best residential/small business router I have come across.
Summary: You can't go wrong with this one. There's a trend among these router vendors to QA in the marketplace. I think Asus still does it old-school where the ...

Summary: You can't go wrong with this one. There's a trend among these router vendors to QA in the marketplace. I think Asus still does it old-school where the engineers do not release the products until THEY say they're ready and not some marketing director. This results in an actual functioning product that sells itself. All the other vendors usually end up selling one dud out of five units sold leaving the market to QA their products.

Really good
by G-AkZeNT on December 12, 2012
Pros: Really stable and really good range. My internet never drops
Cons: It sometimes tweaks on my PS3 but i believe it is because it is on wi fi.
Summary: Overall very good router but a little too expensive. Having some FIOS or some 40-15 internet is good to use

Summary: I had never set one of these up and was a bit intimidated. By following the clear step by step instructions with almost no input this router was up and running in no time. Performance is outstanding. I saw other reviews about crap printer support. I will state that when I hooked up my ethernet based HP printer, an Officejet, with no configuration on my part, immediately the printer was network accessible. No print server problems here.

by Jerrrge on September 21, 2012
Pros: Good speeds, good range, but on 2.4 ghz

-Very slow at times, especially on 5ghz when its at range.
-It gets very hot, very worry-some
Summary: I dont know if it was a buggy router for me, but i was very saddened with the bad performance with an almost 200 dollar router. Im returning it, and ...

Good router, crap printer support and documentation

Pros: Looks nice
Good signal strength

Has annoying login limit on admin UI

Summary: If you just want a router, this is totally fine. Good signal strength and it looks pretty nice.
If you're looking at it as a print server, make sure you have one of the supported printers. They don't mention this anywhere when selling it but only a handful of printers is supported. My Dell laser printer is NOT one of those printers. I'm not sure which printers are actually supported: I found a list of supported printers once, but can't find it again.
That speaks to the pretty crap documentation and terrible translation of messages in the UI as well.
The admin UI also has a feature where you can only have one active login at a time. This is a huge pain if you're setting up multiple machines in different areas of the house.
