Model overview based on user reviews  
The Asus RT-N56U router is praised for its sleek design and excellent signal quality, making it a recommended choice for users seeking reliable performance. It offers dual-band capabilities with strong signal strength, even reaching distant locations. However, some users report issues with overheating and Wi-Fi disconnections, particularly at the 2.4 GHz frequency. While it supports various features like NAT, firewall, and VPN, the lack of wall mounting options and complex firmware updates can be challenging for beginners. Despite its high-speed potential, it may not detect long WAN cables, which limits its effectiveness for some users. Overall, it's a powerful router suitable for high-speed internet, but may require technical know-how to fully utilize its capabilities.

i wouldn't take it again

Wi-fi constantly drops out and gets incredibly hot. According to the speed test, at a speed of 2.4 GHz it gives 1.4 Mb/s at a tariff of 100 Mb/s. I had to open the case for at least some cooling. I fell for a famous brand.

Model for occasion
Fast, convenient, supported.
The main disadvantage is that it does not detect the long WAN cable from the provider!!! The cheap DIR-100 can see it, but this one cannot, and all its advantages go out the "window".
