Wifi issues with the 5 at home? Virtually GUARANTEED FIX...

I had two of those routers die on me. Neither lasted more than a few months and Asus customer service is non-existent. Their router software is also buggy as hell. fast when they work though and good range.

Spend the $160 on an Airport Extreme at Amazon. Also very fast with great range and stone cold reliable.

Had both, both were fast with great range when they worked, both died quickly, both had terrible support.
Check the ASUS OR Smallnetbuilder forum and see all the complaints.

Must be bad luck as I have both myself to provide coverage over my whole house and both have never skipped a beat and worked flawlessly. Use them to stream videos via DLNA as well and my 1080p movies work perfectly. Have had them up and running since April now.

I have the ASUS RT-N56U and love it! I tried the new Cisco Linksys routers and they simply sucked. I have my Asus running with this firmware and is working very well.

I have the beta Asus firmware running and works great for me.

I have the ASUS RT-AC66U and on my (Ultimate)rMBP the speed I max is ≈450Mbit as per the networkcard...
on my iPhone5 my speed has varied, it´s superfast but a speedtest isn´t very impressive
and I had to do a major reset all networksettings...
oh and we have 1Gbit

I use the wireless router that came with my fios, which is suppose to max out at 15 Mbps. I usually get that, but about 20% of the time I get some ridiculously low speed like 0.60 Mbps. I didn't used to be like this with my 4S, which I never upgraded to iOS 6. So I blame either iOS 6 or my iPhone 5.

If you have had fios for over 2 years you can call and get the newest 3rd gen router which is N capable for free. Probably worth the call.
