I'm after a replacement for my trusty Asus RT-n16 router, basically I want the same unit, but with 5Ghz 802.11n support, from what I can see, the RT-n66u is the current equivalent but I can't see anyone that stocks it, whereas the 56 is readily available. I need something with decent WiFi range (at least as good as the n16) - anyone got any idea how the RT-n56 with its internal aerials might compare with the RT-n66 with the external ones? Any recommendations for either where to source one, or similar alternatives? I need to be able to use it as a print server via the USB port, and being able to load the Tomato firmware onto it would be preferable as well. Requirements aren't too major, the 66u is probably total overkill: PPPoE slave to a bridged ADSL modem Gigabit ethernet 5Ghz 802.11n MIMO WiFi USB port(s) to act as basic print server Decently configurable port-forwarding DDNS support OpenVPN\PPTP support Optionally Tomato\DD-WRT compatible I'd rather avoid Linksys as I've had nothing but problems with their units, but that's probably largely historical at this stage as it's been a few years...
