Got new Router [ ASUS RT-N13U rev.B1]

[netant]

Yes, torrent downloading works well. Verified that.

factoryfirmware or dd-wrt, if you know a way to put rtorrent as a default torrent client let me know.

So, I bought the Asus RT-N13U B1 (import date: June 2011). I got a British power adapter along with it. :anger3:
What type of power adapter did you guys get? British or Indian?
where did you bought it ? did you get it imported from international dealer ?
I bought from ASUS dealer (Hyderabad), it has Indian version of adapter.

I called Rashi and they advised me to use a power adapter converter. I'll go and buy a converter now.
yes, now a days all power spike-busters are built in converter socket.
else you can get one of these in as less as Rs.20/-

Naa, I bought it from eBay.in from a seller based in Bangalore. It's imported in India by Rashi in June 2011. Pack piece.
Got a nice deal on eBay.in so bought it from there instead of buying locally. Saved almost 500 INR!

Ya, well I don't have a spike buster so I'll have to buy that converter. Will head out for a search tomorrow.

Firsty, I was like WTF after looking at the bundled power adapter.

I'll report back after flashing DD-WRT + Transmission & aria2 (for HTTP downloads)...

Hi netant,I got a new Beam connection today and planning to buy Asus RT- N13. Can you please let me know from which ASUS dealer you purchased? Can we buy directly from Rashi Peripherals. ?Thank you.

Thanks @netant for the review.I purchased this router today at CTC. Price was 2950/-. Mfg date was June 2011 and even it has British power adapter. I was worried whether it is B1 version or not.There is sticker on the pack which says the Hardware version as B1. I will post some of difficulties I faced later.

Please post a tutorial if you can. Else i will have to go through the whole process on DD-WRT wiki

FYI i just purchased this for 2.5k on Homeshop18 and awaiting delivery. Can't wait to start downloading torrents on it

I think its better to wait for few days to find out if any hardware defects are there before using DD-WRT firmware. My router was defective and is at Rashi Peripherals by 3 rd day.
