Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The idea of this router is great. ASUS Router with a built-in cable modem. However in its execution it is a failure. Because it has a cable modem, ASUS will not keep the Firmware up to date. According to ASUS site, "cannot be installed any drivers by yourselves. The default setting, function and application cannot be changed." The router came shipped with ASUS Firmware version 1.0.1.5. The current version is 3.0.0.4.384_20287 . AUSUS's site tells you that there is no way to update the firmware. I encountered some problems configuring the VPN Client on the router and the only solution from the web is to be on a more current version of firmware which is impossible. I regret wasting so much time trying to get this product to work.
