Super fast, easy to set up, only minor issue with rebooting.

I had an old linksys e1000 and was only getting about 10mps. I had already upgraded my modem and comcast even came out to make sure everything was . So I replaced my router with this apple seeing as almost all my devices are apple. One iMac, one MacBook, two iPad 2s, two iPhone 5s, and a Apple TV2. This wireless router and it's six antenna is far better then what I had. My speeds jumped up to about 45 to 60mps. I would give this five star if it wasn't for one small issue I have. For some reason once every so often the router just shutsdown. There are no buttons or switchs so it's unplug and plug back. It might be a set up thing that I need to dig deeper on but when your in the middle of destiny on your PS4 or watching Anime on your Apple TV it can be a little annoying. But I can't complain too much set up was super easy.

you know the impressive booting speed make me smile , second thing was the search dialog really fast, i almost forgot to mention Data Migration and Samsung Magician APP from samsung for your convenience , i did not want to format windows when upgrade to SSD  so sumsung take this in mind and Data Migration find you the best solution  .

Installs efficiently, great speed, just do not bother with Netwaiting software as it doesn't work with Zoom or Creative--get an Emerson Switchboard, which works great. The only flaw I can find is after Windows 2000 Pro shutsdown, the shutdown hangs and the computer will not shut-off unless turning off the power supply. Tech Support was great but they do not have the answer. The modem must be unplugged before you can shutdown or driver disabled. Bios and drivers analyzed but no answers. Although inconvenient, I must say, the DE5671 connects on first ring, has great speed and is worth the inconvenience.

It is really nice to have an all in one solution since I was having to reboot the modem and router routinely every few weeks. this one set up quickly and has a powerful signal.

I bought this as an upgrade to my venerable Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 which I had running DD-WRT firmware. What attracted me to this Asus was a couple of main points:

- Feature complete FW, meaning no need to risky DD-WRT firmware flashing
- 3x3 802.11n and GbE wired networking, to help speed up access to my NAS

Initial setup was easy and I had my laptop connected over wireless within a couple of minutes. Some advanced settings, like PPTP VPN took a little longer, but all was pretty easy thanks to Asus' configuration GUI.

The bad news, as others have found, was that within a day of setting it up I was noticing that all my wireless devices were dropping their connection randomly. This was confirmed in the router log since each device was requesting a new IP address by DHCP at the same time. Sometimes it would be every other hour and sometimes it would happen a few times within an hour.

I tried fiddling with some of the wireless configurations settings to see if that would help, but no luck. Needless to say, this one is going back to Amazon and I'm hoping the replacement will be more reliable. For the moment, it's back to my Buffalo which has reliably served me for 3+ years without ever doing anything like this...

I bought this NAS to act as a photography file server. I bought this one specifically because of the 4x gigabit ports that could be teamed for optimal speed and the hope that it would be an easy setup (it was).

This is my first Synology NAS and I can say that it won't be my last. The setup process was incredibly easy. I am running a RAID 10 with 4x 4TB WD Reds. I did go ahead and buy an additional 2GB RAM stick because it was only $25. This was the RAM I purchased and it worked flawlessly:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Crucial-2-GB-DDR3-1066-MT-s-PC3-8500-CL7-SODIMM-204-Pin-for-Mac-CT2G3S1067M/dp/B008LTBKGK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Crucial 2 GB DDR3 1066 MT/s (PC3-8500) CL7 SODIMM 204-Pin for Mac (CT2G3S1067M)</a>
--- just take the 5 screws out on the back, remove the cover, pop in the new RAM on the right side and re-assemble.

Pros:
-Setup really easy for the RAM install and initial unit config
-Great UI and a TON of options. I was really blown away with how many "Apps" from the Package Center program it could have installed. You can install everything from Drupal servers to Camera Surveillance app to Cloud backup apps. I won't use any of them, but it's nice that they are there... I'm tempted to order another unit for home-use.
-USB 2/3 ports on back for local backups and easy to setup local backups
-Easily check for and install updates to DSM

Cons:
-Disappointing network speeds with 4x gigabit ports teamed with IEEE 802.3ad/LACP (Make sure your switch supports this if you want to take advantage of teaming/bonds). Maybe it's my WD Reds acting as a bottleneck or maybe it's just SMB2, but 2x or 4x ports teamed I am only get 32-33MB/s write and 82MB/s read. I thought I'd be able to get a little more with 4 ports but since I am getting the same speeds with either 2 or 4 ports teamed, I've left it at 2 for now to save room on my switch. It's not a huge deal, but I would have liked to get double the write and a little more on the read. For how reasonably priced the unit was, it's not the end of the world heh. For the record, they recommend iSCSI for the best speeds.

Despite the network speeds, this thing really is awesome. I would highly recommend it. Definitely evaluate what speeds you will need with your NAS before you buy it and do make sure your switch supports IEEE 802.3ad/LACP if you'd like to team/bond the ports. With a single gigabit port I was getting 25MB/s read and 40MB/s write, so teaming the 2 was a noticeable difference.

This is the first time in years that we have had a printer from anyone other than HP, and so far I am impressed.  Basic setup was very easy, and we were connected to our wifi network quickly.  Print quality is very good, from the limited stuff we have done so far.

So far I have only one complaint.  Setting up network printing was fast and easy, but setting up network scanning is not very intuitive.  It took about half an hour to setup something that takes less than 5 minutes on our old HP 8500.  I think the biggest problem was a lack of clear documentation from Epson.  If not for this hiccup, I would have given 5 stars.

Bought this router last year, mostly above average performance. Like a reboot every few days, and occassional connection drop / recovery automatically.

Since Ive flashed dd-wrt v23 on it. It has been stable as a rock. I haven't rebooted it in 2 weeks now ! rock solid performance since. The hardware is excellent. Add dd-wrt to the mix and you have everything you could possibly need.

not to mention the price.

I bought this to upgrade from a buffalo linkstation (250GB) which was getting filled and very noisy.
Set up was very simple, and once I moved my backup data, music, pictures, and movies over it was the last time I thought about it. Runs like a champ and the hibernate feature makes me feel comfortable that it's not wearing down and wasting energy.
I have a single 1tb drive in it now, but I'll get another in a few months for redundancy.

This was really easy to setup. I use some of the apps but many are a little dinky and options are a little locked down.  I mostly resort to running things out of docker.

My only main complaint is the extremely low amount of RAM is the base version, the price increases steeply if you buy it packaged with more.  At 1 GB there isn't much headroom once you get a few services running on the device.  Performance is markedly faster once the RAM is increased to 4 or 8 GB: it seems like it takes a huge hit from swapping out onto the HD.  It is easy to add more ram yourself.

Another simple thing that is missing is a terminal within the DSM operating system.  You can just SSH in but sometimes on the go I would like to do it from the browser.

Great, super fast boot up. Put together a completely new gaming PC and had originally bought a Kingston SSD. That turned out to be bad so i bought this one and have no regrets. I used to love Kingston products and they are probably still great, but Plextor has met all my expectations so far and i have no regrets getting this.

No real issues.  Just plugged it in and started loading from a portable DVD drive.  Seems fast but since the machine is a firewall/router drive speed doesn't seem to matter too much.

Size is much more than needed, probably could have gotten by with a smaller drive.  But, bigger is better, isn't that so?

Replaced my dlink dir-655 with this router and am extremely pleased at how fast the setup was. I have a complex system with port forwarding, guest users, firewall settings, FTP Servers, HTTP Servers and Remote Desktop. Not the average home user. I had all that resolved and running flawlessly in less than 10 minutes. I was able to assign permanent ip addresses to my printers and other machines that required this.

Previously to buying the ASUS, I tried several 1900 type routers with very poor results.

I will let my Performance Benchmark speak for itself.  Cloning was easy-peasy, lemon-squeazy.  Swap the drives and launched Samsung Magician.  Ran through the OS Optimization (EASY).  Set Over-Provisioning (one click / EASY).  Enabled Rapid Mode (one click / EASY).

Sequential Read = 5201MB/s
Sequential Write = 4007 MB/s
Random Read 137502 IOPS
Random Write 97326 IOPS

This little wonder is so great. I'm using it with Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS  and have the root partition and UEFI bootloader installed on it. My home directory and swap are on the traditional HDD. System boot-up time is about 11 seconds (to login screen) and disk reads from this are about 450 MB/s. The only issue that I had with this is the screw provided for locking the mSATA drive down to the motherboard was too small for my laptop. I also think that I should have gone with the 64 GB version since I'm already at 50% usage. This is well worth the investment so buy it!

Pros: quick installation, BIOS was a breeze to set up. I'm also pleased I can adjust the case fan's speed without Pwm.

Cons: OC genie fails randomly, but I won't dock a star since I don't use it. Also no EIDE ports, but that doesn't bug me since I ran a USB adapter thru the rear. The PCI(e) slots are also awkwardly placed, but I will get an extension for the PCI slot.

I didn't realize I got a micro atx until I re-read this. But it was still an outstanding
 buy.

Works pretty well. However, I was disappointed I couldn't run a Virtual Machine, because apparently the BIOS is limited and won't allow enabling the VM support modes. I also immediately swapped out the hard drive with an SSD; this makes startup very fast and applications are quite responsive. Getting to the hard drive was very easy with the removable back plate.
