As soon as I opened the box, I flashed it with Tomato firmware. It has been almost rock solid since, except for couple of minor occasions where there was a brief drop/lag. I think this was ISP's problem.

the only complaint is the USB print server, it doesn't always work. I ended up getting a standalone print server.

Flashed to Tomato and working great since then. Would recommend this to everyone I know since Tomato doesnt support N-speeds as of now. USB is great add-on as well.

This is hands down the best router I have ever used, and I have used many. I have Shaw Internet and couldnt get it to work with the stock firmware. But once I figured out how to flash to tomato I have been impressed ever since. (btw trick to flash tomato firmware is to downgrade stock firmware to an older stock firmware which will allow you to flash the router on web interface).

Great router for the price. The router was flashed with the latest tomato firmware (Teddy bear mod for USB support). Now i am able to print (Brother DCP-7020) from anywhere in the house and as a bonus I added a USB hub which allowed me to add a 8GB USB stick for network storage. Now i have a printer and network storage on this router.

Good product but I'm looking more at linksys now because of the power supply issues. I've also found the same problems with the WL500GP series.

Could not get it to work as internet router with Shaw Cable Modem even after flashing it with latest firmware. I bought it due to its USB print server feature. Other USB print servers cost a lot more. However, I ended up using it along with my Dlink router, as internet server, by connecting it using a patch cable via LAN-LAN ports.

Excellent router. Was fairly easy to flash the router to DD-WRT, and configure separate isolated subnets for the wireless and wired ports.

I saw a lot of people can't surf internet when they use asus fireware. However, I flash it to tomato after I got it. No problem at all. Pretty good wireless signal. If there is 32mb ram on it. It would be a perfect product.

I bought this router for my lans and to extend my wireless home'S network. Its nice because it has a good power. I have 5 green bars in the house. The main reason why I wanted this router is for the usb print server it has. Now I can print documents everywhere in the house wireless or wire. It has a nice firmware inside ( software) and you can select the power % attributed to each services you want to use ( p2p, communication, games, music ) etc etc. It is a very complete router I would recommend over LINK SYS one for the same price.
