Thumps up if you are "Actually" watching this video.

Where can I find the option to adjust the LED settings as said in this review?

Can you connect 2 of these on 5 GHZ band in WDS link to extend coverage? What speeds does it achieve with WDS link?

I returned a NetgearWndr3800 to get this router for better WIFI-Lan/Wan performace I'm dissapointed at the DLNA feature first it wouldnt let me play the files that i had on the HD DLNA compatible TV/Bluray player would not see the video files only on any PC that was connected to the router I did the most recent firmware update and got it working for a day it's been 3 days since it worked and cant get it to work I'm patiently waiting for a FIX or back to the store it goes for a Linksys E4200v2

@AnonymousR3dn3ck Sorry bro, I don't see any "Thumps" button.

@UnrealSid These routers are specifically made to be compliant with after-market firmwares such as Tomato and DD-WRT. So if you wish, you can flash the firmware you want and use the features you wish to use without the hassle of dealing with the two interfaces.

@drgoldenrodent Just disable the wireless radio througth the ASUSWRT GUI. The wired connections are never changed besides NAT/QoS and similar services.

@drgoldenrodent Should be able to, it's a standard feature. You can turn off the radio/wireless and everything else will still work.

OK-newbie here re:wireless. Current setup: DSL modem to wired router feeding mac & pc. I would like to go wireless, but need to be able to power off wireless & keep wired connections live. Can I accomplish this with this router & what would the configuration be? Thank you.

Question: You mentioned it can be used as a VPN server to access our home network from anywhere. Can we do the opposite i.e: use it as a VPN client to enable devices connected to it to automatically use it as a proxy? I have the RT-N16 with tomato firmware which allows me to do that but I would prefer if something like that was available with native firmware.
