Great wireless unit... has a few extra features some may not use, like the USB ports, but all-in-all it's a fantastic unit.

This is an amazing router, works perfect out of the box, firmware out of the box is quite old but easy to upgrade. Default Firmware works great for me, but this router is also capable of running DD-WRT (at the time of this review) only disappointing thing is that the ports on this router are 10/100... Most other 802.11n routers are GIG.. I have to have a stand alone GIG switch for my LAN then uplink to the Asus which isn't a huge issue since you're bottle neck is your net connection, just adds extra hardware that really shouldn't be needed in such a high end product.
