Good price but I'm a little concerned about the router's failure rate.

$2 less than it was a year ago. By now this router should be cheaper.

Probably will be for black friday sales.

Quote from Wildpir8 : Good price but I'm a little concerned about the router's failure rate.

i bought a refurb one from newegg last december for $27 and it's been going great. i hear that it's very hard to brick this if you're planning on flashing DD-WRT/Tomato (recommended).

Slap Tomato on that little unit for great performance!

Heck, slap Tomato on most routers and get great performance!

This router is great, but not when you live in an apartment with many other router around. Probably due to interference, I was getting very weak signal even just 1 room away from the router when I was living in an apartment. Now I moved to a house, all of a sudden I am at full bar again all the way across the house. But function vs price wise... nothing beats it, especially with tomato. Also... unless you did something really really out of the picture, this router is pretty much impossible to brick.

TMI! Don't want to hear about your tomato slappin'

+1 on Tomato. I have this router and had some issues with the wifi with DD-WRT. With Tomato, never had any real issues. Unfortunately, I paid way more for it! Be aware that it doesn't have 5ghz support though.

Does anybody know REAL world performance difference between this and a dual band equivalent wireless router?

Don't forget a great version that's packed with features, stable and updated often. Tomato by Shibby.

I had this router and had to replace it 5 different times because it kept failing. Kept dropping wireless signal, and at times my computers couldn't even find a broadcast signal.

Oh, and it takes a freaking computer science degree to understand how to mod it. If you have oodles and oodles of time, then go for it. By far, this was the most frustrating router I have ever owned. And ASUS tech support is horrendous in every way.

I finally switched to DLink Dir-655 and it was a breeze to set up and I'm getting faster speeds than I'm paying for. I couldn't be happier!
