Even though the Asus is way more powerful than my old Linksys G router, I am still having some issues getting a consistently good Wi-Fi signal in my master bedroom on the diagonally opposite side of the house from my office where the router is. So I just spent another $99 on an Asus dual bandwidth signal booster to plug into a bedroom wall outlet. Hopefully that and a few tweaks I made to the settings gives me a stronger and more reliable signal there.
