I was just looking for a cheap wireless router after mine got fried in a storm, and this didn’t disappoint. I had no problems setting it up and no problems connecting to it.

DD-WRT installs without trouble and this will be one of the most solid routers you will own. Strongly Recommended

This router has very good coverage (3 floors of our house have good reception). The installation was a breeze using the special install button. I highly recommend it.

The setup was supposed to be very straightforward. Cable modem directly to this wireless router, and the laptops to connect wirelessly to the internet. It took multiple tries using the setup disc to set up the network, but I eventually got it going and the remote laptops were able to see the broadcasted network. That part was fairly easy. Connecting to the network was no problem, but there was never any internet connectivity. Plugging the computer directly into the router with a cable resulted in the same thing, no internet.
I fiddled with settings for an hour and got no love. I suspect it had something to do with the cable modem and the router using the same IP address, but I was unable to log into the router via the web interface to correct the problem. I couldn’t access the web interface at all, even when disconnected from the cable modem.
The manual that comes with it at first seemed plentiful, but it turned out it was just 2 short pages to get the network set up, translated into 7 languages. No troubleshooting section. No information on how to access the web interface. My Linksys router was tons easier to set up than this, so I’m returning this dead weight and getting a Linksys.

I have being using this model since 2006. Although there have being many new technology updates since then, to me, what most important factors are still down to the range, trouble free usage, and the ease of setup. For these, this Asus WL-520GC performs extremely well.
Range: I am able to place the base unit on the first floor while got the decent signal at the third floor. The workable range seems even better than my friend’s newer Asus N router.
Free from trouble: I have never had a need to restart the router as what I occasionally needed to do so on other brands’ routers. To me, this is the only router that I feel 100% safe while I need to use it remotely.
Easy installation: I am an experienced PC user but is a network moron. By using the installation disc, I was able to do the setup with a breeze.
In the past few years, I totally bought about 8-10 of this model and gave them to my relatives. None of them had experienced any dissatisfaction or have ever had the need to upgrade. (Note: It has no N mode)
I highly recommend this model to anyone who need a simple, trouble free, and robust wireless router.
