I posted this same question back in November and tried the Asus RT-N16 but after a few days it died and got a refund.

A few weeks ago I thought I would try the TP-Link TL-WR1043ND. Hooked it up and after a few hours both wired and wireless dropped connections, then I flashed it with DD-WRT which fixed the dropouts on the wired, but the wireless would still disconnect. Newegg sent me a new one which I just received a few minutes ago. Hopefully this one will work.



My RT-N16 is still going strong mate. You always have a chance of getting a lemon, regardless of what you're buying. Just be glad it wasn't a car.


Yeah, too bad, because I really liked the Asus.

From reading the reviews of dozens of wireless N routers both from Amazon & Newegg, it seems its hit or miss on getting a good one, regardless of price or manufacturer.

The TP-Link replacement I got from Newegg has been up about 18 hours with no problems, I keeping my fingers crossed.

I've been using this Netgear for over 3 years now.
Have 2 XBOX 360s and 6 PCs in my house. Has been working great so far. 680MHz processor and 64MB of RAM seem to do the trick. They released a couple new versions since I got mine, and they get even better reviews than the version 1 I have.

NETGEAR WNDR3700


I have that router, had it less then a year. But so far so good. Have a PC & PS3 hardwired to it. And have a laptop, iphone, and nook connected wirelessly.

Well, the replacement TP-Link lasted almost four days. I'm going to wait till they come out with a reliable N router like the Linksys WR54G.
