Hi Guys

Following the amazing success of Asus's Black Diamond Cable and FTTC networking range, we are pleased to announce the latest addition to their ultra high end black diamond range.

The DSL-N55U includes ADSL modem capabilities and revolutionises the black diamond range giving ADSL users a real high end solution.




Asus DSL-N55U Black Diamond Dual Band Wireless- N Gigabit @ £117.98 inc VAT

As the first ASUS N600 simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi ADSL router, the DSL-N55U provides a stylish design, sophisticated features, and easy setup alongside supreme wireless and wired networking for the home.
Two USB 2.0 ports allow the DSL-N55U to share printing and scanning functions on a network, and operate as high-speed NAS (Network Attached Storage) when an external storage device is connected. It is fully DLNA certified, and can act as a media server and home entertainment center. Any device, such as a PS3, iPhone, or Eee Pad can directly stream music and video wirelessly through the DSL-N55U.
For wired networking, four Gigabit Ethernet ports provide excellent capacity. Support for up to 300,000 data sessions means the DSL-N55U has around 20 times the networking capacity of other home routers. Data transmission stays fast even when the router is under heavy load, and easy-to-use QoS settings assure that important traffic - VoIP calls or online gaming - isn't adversely affected by large file downloads.

• Integrated home gateway with independent CPUs for modem and router
• Dual-band Wi-Fi delivers up to 600Mbps in bandwidth
• 4x Gigabit Ethernet ports provide enhanced wired network performance
• Auto-detecting ADSL connection with CD/manual-free setup
• Finest P2P experience via 300,000 concurrent data sessions
• File sharing, printer sharing, and iPad charging using multi-functional twin USB ports

Only £117.98 inc VAT.

I have heard back from Asus this morning, they cannot confirm the chipset to me directly but are enquiring with their technical staff about it.
 
the billions are really good products but we have found that product support for the asus products are much better and this includes RMA terms

this translates to a better overall deal for the customer

especially when the products capabilities are very similar :)
 
I wouldn't say so no.

in terms of functionality, you may be able to tweak the Billion products a little more but the Asus products have solid featuresets and are generally a little cheaper for something which essentially does the same job
 
There is plenty of areas in the uk where the prospect of fttc is a long long way off.

That's a silly reason not to consider a product
 
Sounds like a faulty unit to me. The firmware is generally very good on the black diamond range. The cable versions are very customisable, I am yet to try the adsl version yet though

I highly recommend the Asus RT-N56U, it has never given me a hint of a problem. Never had to reboot it and its never let me down yet.

Its available for around £80 to £90 so you can spend extra if you need a separate modem and you can then use it with an future broadband you get (VDSL, Cable etc).

that is of course the other alternative. the N56U cable router is similar in many respects to the DSL-N55U a good alternative if you want a massive upgrade for the router only.

So i just got this router today. It took awhile to setup but after a phone call to my ISP i got all the right details and its connected to the net fine now.

But its actually slower than my old router.

I did a speedtest with my old router before i started setting up the N55U and it was around 6.31Mbps, now its at 2.42Mbps.

Im not even sure whats happened tbh. im fairly noobish when it comes to this stuff lol

Any suggestions?

Probably better to take it to the network subforum than this thread as it could get derailed fast

you will need to move your SNR margin around or something.
best to take it to the networks section of the forum
 
We have seen record sales this week of this unit.

I ordered some more today to meet demand. We will not run out so any orders placed will be fulfilled.

Thanks to everyone who has ordered so far. If you have any thoughts you wish to share I would love to hear them in this thread
 
woah, looks like something is wrong there.

if the product is from us, please post in the customer service section of the forum and one of our team will arrange a replacement unit for you
