        Comments about ASUS RT-N12/B1 300Mbps Wireless-N Router:

        A little over a year ago we bought a Netgear router with all the bells and whistles when we got a Smart TV. The router worked good but it kept shutting down my laptop. I finally got fed up and decided to replace it. After doing some research I decided on the ASUS because of the features and price. It was about half what I paid for the other one. It was easy to install and works great. I am totally satisified with this product.

              First let me say B&H is always a safe place to buy. Second the router works great. The set up instructins are poor and offer little for a person with limitted experience with router/repeater setups. I added a 25dbi gain antenna and wow I can pull WIFI from anywhere in the RV park.

                  The RT-N12/B1 offers excellent, fast,reliable connection. There are 3 laptops in the house, and for the 2 weeks that I've had it, there hasn't been a single issue. The box of the router is always cool to the touch, a lot cooler than the AT&T's modem sitting next to it. I did have a little trouble to set it up without the accompanied disk initially, but after using the disk,the set-up was a breeze. Yes, I would buy it again if I ever need another one.

                              Works great on my New iMac. Set up was a little confusing but if you follow the directions it starts right up. So be sure and read the directions before you begin. great encryption built in.

                                First let me say B&H is always a safe place to buy. Second the router works great. The set up instructins are poor and offer little for a person with limitted experience with router/repeater setups. I added a 25dbi gain antenna and wow I can pull WIFI from anywhere in the RV park.

                                    The RT-N12/B1 offers excellent, fast,reliable connection. There are 3 laptops in the house, and for the 2 weeks that I've had it, there hasn't been a single issue. The box of the router is always cool to the touch, a lot cooler than the AT&T's modem sitting next to it. I did have a little trouble to set it up without the accompanied disk initially, but after using the disk,the set-up was a breeze. Yes, I would buy it again if I ever need another one.
