Print quality is reasonable, but connection is horrible through wireless network (so far). It keeps disconnecting from the network every few days and then it takes up to an hour to connect it back. I will have to buy a USB connection cable to avoid further frustration.

Unit won't stay on a wireless connection ... cannot reconnect to a wireless connection unless the unit is rebooted.  very dissatisfied - extremely slow to sometimes no response from screen touch.

I just purchased this computer this week and have had a terrible time with download speed when using wireless.  I've tried it on several different networks.  I've tried it right next to the router on each network.  I've tried sites which will test my connection for me as well as other sites.

On each network, I've tried it where it was the only computer being used as well as head to head against a laptop with another wireless connection.

In a typical instance of where both the wireless computers were using the same standard, I initiated a download of 248 mb with one laptop and 7 mb with the asus.  The 248 mb download finished before the 7 mb download with plenty of time to spare.  Also, I've tried downloading the same file from the same place with both laptops.

I'm getting absolutely terrible response time from the asus.  I will call support about this problem, but if it really is a limitation of the laptop, I would not recommend it to anyone other than as a word processor or something like that.  I don't expect to be able to do high-intensive transactional applications, but I expect to be able to use it to wirelessly connect to the internet and surf at a reasonable rate.

I will update this review if something is found which will increase the speed of the wireless.  Other than that, it's a decent computer so far, but it gets only one star because of such an important flaw.

I've got a couple of these that I tried to use as wireless bridges to a DIR-655 for a while. Connection was always flaky and even when connected, I'd get much higher throughput from other wireless devices sitting right next to the bridge.

Now I'm using both of them as access points and they seem to do much better in that role.

Configuration and firmware updates (that blow away the configuration) always seem to be painful. Finding the right IP and connecting to its configuration page is the problem. Sometimes it takes a long time for it to start responding on the default IP so you can set it up.

I can not get the wireless to work most of the time...copies fine with UBS  so maybe it is my server...

The wifi signal it supposedly "strengthens" is actually worse than the normal signal. Ughhh.

It has serious issues on my windows 8.1 machine connecting to a 5Ghz Trendnet router. It resets connectivity 3-5 times continuously on system boot-up or switching from a 2.4Ghz to a 5Ghz connection. After resuming from system standby, it loses connectivity sometimes and have seen a couple of BSOD's. This really points to some very poor drivers. Hope they fix it soon.

Wonderful for LAN supported internet access. However, the WiFi connectivity with this router is excruciatingly slow & drops with a frequency that will drive one to curse like a sailor. After several hours of troubleshooting via Netgear's site, forums, videos, pestering of friends in the tech industry ... I'm done. I'm afraid, this is going back to the seller.

I had two of these (one as a replacement for the other) and both of them were unable to maintain connections on wireless for more than about a day at a time.  I did not experience the overheating that others have, but a couple laptops and a Linksys WET610N wireless Ethernet bridge would all frequently lose connection to the Internet or lose the wireless connection entirely.  The laptops would eventually reconnect on their own, but the bridge required a power cycle each time.  I got my money back and got the WRT610N, which so far has been fine.  It has been running for a couple weeks without dropping a connection.  The speeds are not what I expected from wireless-n, but some of that may be interference in the house.  The WRT610N also has gigabit WAN if your Internet connection is over 100Mbit like some companies that offer fiber to the home are able to produce.  It's more expensive than the WRT310N, but so long as it stays stable, it's better.

The range is excellent (as expected)
The connection speed is horrible.
I got 350 kb/s. The router our isp provided got 15 mb/s. we are supposed to be getting 25mb/s (we do wired straight to the modem) I set up this modem and searched many forums and tried all answers others had suggested. There were many other people with the same problem with this router. I suspect this one wasn't repaired properly. I will not be buying another cisco or lynksis product again. Im going to give asus a try

Horrible my wifi connection was actually worse through the range extender very easy to set up and i actually have very fast internet in the first place so maybe the is not the product for higher speed internet

Lot of issues in connecting wirelessly. I had dropped connection several times a day. The errors varied, timed out, no dns, protocols missing. Two dell inspirons exhibited same issue. I suggest to look for alternative product. Tried all that the arris support suggested; works for a while and same issue.

I replaced the unit with
TP-LINK DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem
using  my old router - works like a charm!

I love Brother products so I am especially disappointed that this one is so bad. There are serious network issues with this product and no firmware updates to address them. I don't believe that my unit is bad, it seems to be the way networking is handled period. Networking wired or wireless frequently doesn't connect to the network. It doesn't actually follow the settings. The only change that can be made is to reset all of the network settings so it will at least temporarily pick up an IP from the local DHCP server via the wired interface. The wireless interface won't because you have to give it the network key and it only seems to look for an IP on boot.

It did work well for about 3 months. Since then getting it to work over the network has been a nightmare.

Constant network disconnection.

Which defeats the purpose of a Internet thermostat.

I hope this is a defective unit, and not a defective product.

TERRIBLE!!! Looks cool but the wireless connection is terrible! It loses link every 10 seconds! Returning as soon as I'm done typing this!! So disappointed I really wanted to like this!

I purchased this router as a refurb from New Egg. The item will work for a day or 2 and then the wireless connection drops to 150 Mbps and eventually to 6 Mbps. There are 3 channels that will connect at 300 Mbps,(never 450 though my wireless card is able) but the router usually doesn't default to one of them and if you set it to one of those specifically, the channel regularly drops out and you have no connection at all. It was too late to send it back to NE so I had it RMA-ed. ASUS had it almost a month "waiting for a part" and when I got it back, (a new refurb unit), it worked great for 1 day, and then did the exact same thing. I called the service center and was told to update the firmware. I asked if I just got this back as a replacement unit shouldn't it be current? I was told No. I updated to the latest FW and it made no difference. I am back connected at 300 MBPS on my 6 year old D-Link router. I refuse to spend anymore of my own cash to ship this again. I purchased this less than 4 months ago and I am not happy. I will not be buying any more Asus products
