Dual-band for Lag-free Entertainment
Double your wireless performance and bandwidth with simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands speed up to 300Mbps concurrently. While basic internet applications like browsing or file downloading can occur in 2.4GHz, wireless HD content streaming takes place in the 5GHz band at the same time, so both achieve optimized speeds and you enjoy smooth, buffer-free HD content streaming.
Gigabit Internet Surfing with Hardware NAT
Equipped with a capable hardware NAT acceleration engine and built-in Gigabit Ethernet, it gives you full Gigabit internet performance, making its WAN to LAN throughput up to 2-5 times that of traditional software-based NAT Gigabit routers.

Much as I love Asus stuff, this router has had numerous issues since launch, and then it is via Ebuyer, who I wouldnt touch again with a **** stick; after they repeatedly broke UK consumer laws over a DOA I tried to return.
If anyone knows that Asus have finally fixed it, please fell free to correct me.

Dated gear (2010/11?), overpriced without integrated adsl/vdsl modem.

Had it. Sold it. Major issues. Not worth the money imo.

Had mine for a couple of years and it hasn't skipped a beat and is so much better than my Virgin router.

Virgin requires Superhub to be on modem mode, right? I hate the fact you need to power 2 devices, for one job

Rock solid on Padavan firmware for years now. Best router I've had.

"Worlds Fastest Router" wow really..... (marketing from I guess it's launch......) should be a law against selling where they don't update benchmarks. If that's not true I feel it's miss selling and they should compensate you with the latest and fastest as that's what they claim to be selling.... Pet hates. :man:
