The ASUS DSL-N55U Wi-Fi ADSL Modem Router is a nice piece of kit. Underneath its black tartan exterior there is a well thought out device that's packed with features. We live at the end of the line when it comes to broadband internet access, with just a 6km pair of 50 year-old copper wires connecting us with the interweb. This router copes with these limitations admirably. It provides a fast, solid, secure connection to the internet and is a great local network router for connecting PCs, Macs, mobile phones, printers and a couple of Chromecast devices to each other and the web. Without getting technical, the N55U has two core processors in it - the majority of other routers have just one. One processor handles the DSL modem/WAN, the other runs the wireless 802.11N dual-band 600Mb/s router/LAN. This extra horsepower shows - the network is more responsive and faster. Local file transfers and backups are quicker, printing documents on the networked printer is a doddle (and setting up a printer shared printer using one of the router's two USB ports took under 5 minutes), viewing streamed shows simultaneous is seamless and surfing the web is actually quick and responsive (at last!). Most wireless cable and modem routers come packed with functionality that the average user will never use and the ASUS N55U is no different in this regard. DMZs, guest networks, port triggering, NAT passthrough management and a whole host of other functionality can be managed from the web management interface and a whole load more through the command line if you really want to get under its hood and that's all great, but what's really impressed me is its speed, stability and incredible value - second hand a pristine example like the one I found can be picked up for £35-£45. So if you're looking for a reliable box to connect to the web through a DSL connection then this Modem/Router should definitely be high on your list of contenders.Read full review

Hi I love the features of this router but cannot get the port forwarding to work no matter what I try. My BT homehub cannot hold a candle to it in most respects but at least the port forwarding works on that. So for me its a shame as this one feature lets it down somewhat.
I needed the ethernet modem but by mistake I bought this ADSL modem. After exploring the modem I found you can use this for both connection ADSL as well as Eternet.

Really good high speed ADSL router. Let down slightly by the fact that you cannot configure it just as a switch - the ADSL/WAN must be connected to configure the unit. Seems to have DD-WRT support which should future proof it somewhat.
I bought this router to improve Wireless coverage around the house, to provide a more stable router that my old LinkSys, and to get 1Gbit wired network bandwidth. It's delivered perfectly on all three. One negative point though, it didn't allow me to configure any router settings until I plugged in the broadband line, so one star deducted.
