I love the ASUS web-based router management interface which is filled full of performance analytics, technical features, and really great security features that are typically only found on high-end equipment. Having the ability to setup multiple guest networks is a huge plus in my books and all of the VPN options are definitely great as well, especially for work at home folks and small business owners. The speed of this wireless router is also very high on the list of great features and runs very well against the competition. Amazon is currently listing this at $179.97 which is the next lowest price for new models I could find.
