I recently bought the ASUS RT-N56u because I was having slowdown issues in my house while running on my LinkSys WRT54g. Anyway, this new router has given me nothing but grief but I think I'm down to my final issue.
I have a PC (wanna-be-server) now Hard Wired to the back of the ASUS router. Whenever I try to access it's file shares using a wireless device connected to the ASUS, I would get extremely slow response, if any response at all.
However, if I took that exact same wireless device and switched it over to my LinkSys 802.11g network, I could then access the server.
Basically it seems that if a wireless device tries to access a file share over the ASUS 802.11N, it then locks everything up and I have to reboot everything. If instead I go through my old router (802.11g) it works fine.
I'm hoping someone will tell me there is some setting that is confusing traffic from the RT-N56U wireless traffic from getting to it's LAN traffic.
Some info:
RT-N56U is in AP mode only, running firmware official 1.0.1.7 (or 8) from Asus.
