May 10, 201511 yr I'm looking for a low end Asus Wifi router like an NT-16 or thereabouts. I've looked in the usual places but could have easily missed what I was looking for. Grin

The problem is dealing with end of life issues and security licenses for VPN. For my needs here I might need more than the security license like software and subscription licenses. For the simple situations these routers are great.

And when Cisco purchased Linksys, I thought What The 'H' are they doing??? Well, apparently not much. I really don't like when 'commercial' and 'consumer' grades gets blurred. Luckily Cisco sold Linksys off to Belkin in 2013.

FYI, a router like this is exactly what I am looking for. I was in JIB last week and they didn't have anything like this at the time. It is good to know something like this may be available in town. I'll be checking back with them.
May 10, 201511 yr Author LinkSys routers and military intelligence are great examples of oxymora. When speaking of Cisco routers, LinkSys would be the last thing on my mind.

The JIB shop can always order from Bangkok. Here it is on their website:
May 11, 201511 yr Author I went back to JIB and ordered the Asus RT-N18U. It will only take 2 days to arrive from Bangkok. 3190 Baht seemed like a good price. Has anyone tried the Dual WAN feature? It will be interesting to see what throughput it gets in load balancing mode. It would be nice if the Asus firmware works well and I don't have to deal with flashing the router. Grin
