Most Critical Review

This router WAS great

ASUS RT-N56U Wireless Router Dual Band N600 Multimedia Ultra Slim Gigabit 802.11a/b/g/n support USB Storage, Print and Media Server
ASUS RT-N56U Wireless Router Dual Band N600 Multimedia Ultra Slim Gigabit 802.11a/b/g/n support USB Storage, Print and Media Server

Pros: Works well in the beginning with good range, speed and features

Cons: After a few months, the range slowly decreases and it starts to drop the connection.

Overall Review: When I first bought the router for my father's home, I thought it was great and we both loved all the features. I went off to my fall semester thinking I set him up well, but when I came back I experienced the sad truth. The range no longer reached my room (which it used to perfectly), so I had to set up my computer in the basement, which is closer to the router. This was at about 4-5 months after I bought the router. Now, it is about 6 months old and I am starting to lose my connection in the basement (which is only about 15-20 feet away from the router). Soon it will be only a wired router, since I am sick of having constantly dropped signal. It is getting to the point where watching YouTube is not possible. Gaming or other applications that require a constant connection are simply no longer possible do to the stutter lag as the router drops signal every few seconds. All in all, I would suggest you leave this page and find a router that will work longer than 4-6 months. I tried everything from upgrading the firmware to moving my whole entire desk and computer to another room, and the router still fails me. I feel as if Asus has cheated me out of my purchase.

Great Card!

Pros: Still plays new games at max 3gb dedicated RAM Price compared to some of the NVIDIA cards

Cons: None

Overall Review: I have always been an NVIDIA guy, but I finally decided with this after debating between the NVIDIA 760 and this 7950. The reason was because of the fact that the price for performance was just simply better with this card, even though the 760 seemed to marginally beat it in some benchmarks. Anyway, I have no regrets with my decision and I love my 7950.

good cpu

Intel Core i5-3570K - Core i5 3rd Gen Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Intel HD Graphics 4000 Desktop Processor - BX80637I53570K

Pros: Rock solid CPU Plenty of speed for my needs Overclockable when I need to in the future

Cons: I can't really see any. This cpu blew away anything AMD was offering in terms of what I needed.

Overall Review: This is a quality product for sure. Good job Intel, you are keeping my business.
