ASUS RT-N16 - $65 AR with FS

Yeah, I really like mine. I got mine at this price as an open box when a new one was retailing for $100. This seems like a good deal.
 
I love this router as well, although it sounds like I'm missing the boat by not using TomatoUSB on it... hmm
 
Would be all over it if it had 5 Ghz activated :( Still a great deal if you only need 2.4.
 
Awesome router. I have DD-WRT on mine. Any reason to choose Tomato over DD-WRT?

Tomato used to be the choice if you wanted USB (the usb fork, anyway) and/or better QoS. DD-WRT has added both (as far as I know), but I always found Tomato's GUI better (I like the USB Red theme, myself: http://ps.nd.e-wro.pl/remote_pics/tomato_screen.gif). And the QoS still seems more advanced, but I've only glossed over DD-WRT in the last few years as I started there, then converted to the Tomato camp.

DD-WRT does seem to have slightly more features overall and Tomato plus the TomatoUSB (http://tomatousb.org/) fork haven't been updated much lately.

I run Toastman's TomatoUSB builds on my N16 (which are constantly updated; some buggy, some not): http://www.4shared.com/dir/v1BuINP3/Toastman_Builds.html

Yeps. that pretty much sums it up.
I'm sure there are some good Toastman Builds. There's just too many builds without enough documentation.
 
Have this. TomatoUSB works great on this thing. Honestly, for full-featured stock firmware like the one on D-Link DIR655, the functions are pretty similar but I do have this router and run TomatoUSB. Highly recommended.
 
I never figured out how to get the USB storage enabled on DD-WRT. I followed the Optware guides and everything else - never worked. The forums weren't much help, either (so many posts - mine were more or less glossed over).

So perhaps I should give TomatoUSB a try this summer.
 
DD-WRT trumps Tomato as far as features are concerned. They have a more pleasing GUI interface as well. One feature especially that I like in DD-WRT is the auto DDNS capability for dynamic IPs.

Tomato has this on this router and it works great with "no-ip" service i can confirm.
