Cool! Spec and feature wise the Netgear XR500 looks great, cosmetically and functionally it looks like it's just as much of n eye sore and desktop wart as the ASUS GT-AC5300 -- seriously ugly product package design, space wasty, and they're both gonna look like dust bunny scoops inside a year; I...

DOH! Didn't have my reading glasses on, "RT" not "GT" -- well that makes things a lot simpler... Thanks You! Back to my previous question: anyone know why DDoS protection is disabled by default? Is it particularly CPU intensive under real DDoS conditions? Is the GT-AC5300's DDoS feature able to...

That's interesting, ASUSWRT lists the GT-AC5300 here and twelve other "GT-routers"... Is this fake?
