'ASUS RT-N56U' Dual-Band Wireless N router

pegasus · Jan 23, 2011

Have been thinking of upgrading to a good wireless router for quite sometime now. :ashamed:

Thought of getting the RT-N16 and now saw this -

ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Networks - ASUS RT-N56U

Specs and features are definitely impressive.

ASUS RT-N56U Open Box - Vortez Forums - PC Hardware News and Reviews

Looks very nice imho.

Also found a few reviews-

Asus RT-N56U review - Networking reviews - TrustedReviews

Asus RT-N56U Dual-Band Gigabit Wireless-N Router Review - Softpedia

Asus RT-N56U Dual-Band router - Bjorn3D.com

So what do you guys say?

Edrill · Jan 26, 2011

The E4200 has just been launched in the US last week. Don't know if it's locally available yet. I think it retails for around $179.

Is RT-N56U available in India ?

gcbeldar · Feb 10, 2011

yes, approx 6k

RT-N16 is listed at 6.6K on PrimeABGB site.

Buy Asus

So RT-N56U will be higher for sure.

is it worth buying asus?

hows support?

its with 3 yrs warrenty and all but how is post sales support?

WickedTA · May 6, 2011

What would be a good Wireless N adapter (USB or PCI) that can really USE the throughput of this RT-N56U? did a little digging around and saw some recommendations for the Intel 5xxx/6xxx series of mimi-PCIE cards, but that needs additional adapters/antennae for use on a PC. Any suggestions folks?

Any idea folks ? I have no clue where to get the Asus RT-N56U in Bangalore or online, everyone is drawing a blank. There is one seller in ebay who has listed it for 8.7k, seems like its too high a price.
