Had the same unit with 2.4Ghz wireless band not working. Bought this unit for replacement. Upon received this ASUS RT-N65U wireless router, discovered the 5Ghz wireless band not working. Oh well. It still has 2.4Ghz wireless band and gigabits wires connections working.

I updated firmware right out of the box...This is refurbished version from newegg. I did good deal of research on these, and seeing as wireless ac isn't quite ready...I decided to go for this. The range is much better than a airport extreme 2nd gen that I had from 2007. 2.4 GHZ has amazing range (twice) what my airport had. There is an enormous jump in connection speed through wifi, when I tested I got about 130mbps which was great compared to the 40mbps I got from my old airport. I use all cat6 and bonjour works as well out of the box. No hiccups with any mac/apple gear, and also I have a has in my basement that works no problem. I use powerline networking, also no issues with it. A noticable jump in web browsing and day to day activity. xbox 360 works, Ps3 works, HDhomerun works. If you are a household that has alot of wifi/wired electronics this will work great for you.Read full review
So, needing a second floor wifi access point and one that ran at 1Gb, I chose the NT-N65U. Tuns out it was GREAT choice. Easy to set up, and , and my neoowrk is now purring along. .

If you are buying this router with the intention of using the USB 3.0 ports, I suggest you avoid the RT-N65U. The USB 3.0 ports create interference on the 2.4GHz band and it basically kills the 2.4GHz wifi. It's a hardware issue so firmware updates won't fix it. If you are cool enough that all of your gear runs on 5Ghz then don't worry about it. If you are looking for a cost effective dual band router with USB 2.0 support for network storage, FTP, and printing, I strongly suggest the RT-N56U.
Due to insufficient ventilation router overheats constantly and drops 5 mhz radio.
