It's either this router is terrible or the Padavan firmware. I always have to reboot the router once awhile because the ping just keep on spiking up after a long usage.
Asus RT-N56U Reviewed

Hi guys,
I am new here. Just replaced my 5 years old Linksys WRT54G2 by the Asus RT-N56U and it seems it's a huge improvement of my networks. Still on original firmware (3.0.0.4.374_239), but it seems everything working ok, so still don't now if to move on custom...
Right after installing had the problem with the moving big files ant torrenting (wireless dropping), but find out this is Asus
laptop wifi adapers fault - reinstalled driver (older ) and now no droppings.
Having a few questions
1. Can't find how to block posibility to enter the web GUI by wireless. Is it possible? Linksys had simple option to check "restrict entering web GUI by wireless".
2. Download Master seems not very fast? utorrent on PC able to download up to 10 MB/s, although DM varies from 1 to 4 MB...but as I understood in overall DM sucks in that?
Thank you.

I'm still on the 1.0.1.8t firmware. Do the 3.0.0 versions of the firmware do anything to improve the wireless signal performance/strength?
RT-N56U Problem
Yesterday I bought this router , hoping that would be better. I ran the configuration as shown , but it was very slow. It took so long , that i waited 2 hours on a step , and it was still saying that it does something. What i mean is the configuration was simple , but it took a very long time. After that it searched for firmware updates. It was stuck at 0% for 1 hour , then i closed it. Finally after that i could acces the internet , and it seemed to work fine. I wanted to search a little bit around the settings , but going through the menu is very slow.
Summary : It is working very slow in the menu , but internet and WIFI works like a charm. Why is the interface so slow ? my internet and computer are pretty good so it shouldn't handle any problems. My Firmware is now the latest (3.0.0.4.374_5656)
Please tell me how to fix its slugishness in the menus , it is very annoying.

Make sure to change to list view on that download page and in my case, I selected the RT-N56U_3.0.3.8-081_base.trx file.
Have been using it for months without issues at a couple of customers locations (and I did briefly try the newest ones but they needed rebooting to keep performance up).

What do you mean with rebooting for performance?
