got it all set up with dd-wrt. Took 2 flashes with the windows flash tool, then a final one through the GUI. works great.

Pros: 802.11n, usb storage link / print server
When this access point works, it works well, but it doesn’t work a lot of the time. I have a lot of problems connecting 802.11g clients and connection via 802.11n isn’t available right away after connection is initiated.

I have used several Asus routers. Out of the box these stink, but if you install the tomato firmware, this turns into a powerhouse router. Yes it does add some complexity, but it is well worth it. If you have any problems you are usually able to reflash it with the clear settings firmware and start over. This is one of the few routers that works with tomato and has 32mb of flash storage (for the firmware).
One hitch, the tomato firmware currently doesn’t support USB. There are other firmware options if you must have usb suppot.
I didn’t give it a 5 star, because it does require some time and patience to initially set up the tomato firmware.
