Asus RT-N57U

[Tamadite]

Impressive specs of this Ubicom product!

I moved to a new house with two floors where I can finally have my IT cabinet. I went for a modular network setup that is, no integrated solution like router+switch+wireless. I bought Ubiquiti Routerstation Pro (OpenWRT), Ubiquiti Unifi (quite discrete PoE access point) and a 16-ports Gbit switch. My setup is that the router is working as such, just routing traffic between WAN, VLAN1 (home) and VLAN2 (DMZ). The router has 4 ports. I am planing using the fourth port for high demanding bandwidth applications like streaming video/TV, etc. The switch has already seven hosts connected to it (NAS, Squeezebox, TV, media player, Ubiquiti Unifi, computers, etc).

I have to confess everything is working really smooth and fast. Very happy with the solution!

I use my old Asus WL-500p just as a printer server so far (wireless off). I am not sure yet if I want to use it also as wireless access point with WDS to cover some small shadows.

Both, WL-500gP and Routerstation PRO are using latest OpenWRT (backfire).
