Certainly, the Asus has a ton of VPN features and for me it was really stable and fast. I just wasn't a fan of the FW. Then again, I'm not a big fan of DD-WRT either. Too many options just makes my head spin - I'm a minimalist. Now that I think about it, DD-WRT might have the VPN features you need. Lots of people are having good luck running Kong's build on the Netgear R7000 and it is a performance beast too. |

There are definitely 2.4Ghz cordless phones out there but 5.8Ghz is far more common these days...

She used the phone and I couldn't buy Netflix or surf, she hung up and Netflix started working and I could load pages. That's the extent of what I know about anything. I push buttons on the screen and chiefs planet usually works, enough for me Posted via Mobile Device |

So im searching for a new router to compliment my incoming gigabit internet, the r7000 seems to be a good choice for me. Any reason why I am wrong?

The biggest deterrent though would be Netgear's support. They used to be the best. After 5 weeks of me basically doing all of their troubleshooting for them and them throwing darts at the problem, I finally gave up. That being said, if you like DD-WRT, people are saying great things about the R7000. It apparently is very stable with Kong's variant and performs almost as well. However, if you have an appetite for "feature rich" firmware like DD-WRT, it might be worth your time to evaluate the Asus RT-AC68U. It's stable and fast, probably right on par with the R7000, and even though the stock firmware has a few minor bugs, Asus appears to be actively fixing them. In addition, RMerlin at Small Net Builder is sharing code with Asus and actively developing a 3rd-party firmware based on their code that focuses on stability and performance. He's doing a great job and has a veritable legion of happy followers. For me, I'm 100% sold on the Linksys. No, it doesn't have the same breadth of features. But I've pushed well over a terabit of disk images to my NAS over the last 24 hours without a single hiccup. That's something I was never able to do with the Netgear (and never tried to do with the Asus because I never got that far). It's simple, easy, and straightforward. It just works. |

The reason I was thinking of the r7000 is just because it had a higher WAN to LAN throughput than the ASUS, albeit not by a lot. I still have a month or two until i get switched on, so Ill have to dig a little more about them both.

If you need near-GigE WAN performance, go with the Asus. |

Did you double check it with reaver?
Edit, they might have fixed the firmware now Cisco (Linksys) – Some Vulnerable – Product List – E4200V1 & WRT320N WPS Disable Hack – Turning off WPS does not really turn it off. E1200 v2, E1500, E3200, E4200 V1 firmware fix released March 2012. http://www.safegadget.com/72/major-w...ility-wps-bug/ Not sure on the ddwrt |
