I wanted to revisit this review. Earlier I had basically said in summery that the router was great, but the UI had some shortcomings. I have since come across some amazing firmware. Don’t get me wrong I think Asus did a great job, but I was getting a little frustrated. Curiosity got the best of me.<\/p>\n
PLEASE, if you have this router or are thinking of buying it, make sure you check out\u00c2\u00a0ASUS RT-N56U custom firmware website<\/a>. I have donated to these guys because I truly feel they over came all of the routers UI shortcomings and turned this thing into a total beast. It still has the same great speed and performance but now has shorter reboot and apply times – Applying settings usually now takes less than 5 seconds and reboots are under a minute. Firmware still takes about 3 minutes to install. It offers VPN access, Guest WiFi zone, the same great built in FTP access and all those little nitpicking features I wanted. Easy drop downs to reserve IP addresses for one! HUGE for me.<\/p>\n Resource monitoring of CPU and RAM with BEAUTIFUL graphcs for both resource monitoring and network traffic stats.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n IPV6 is still a bit of a work in progress and there is no QOS, but there are frequent updates to this custom firmware and the community usually can help if you need any support.\u00c2\u00a0Trust me when I say its worth your time to check this out. Feel free to drop any questions in the comments.<\/p>\n [\u00c2\u00a0ASUS RT-N56U custom firmware<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I wanted to revisit this review.
