I'm a heavy BT downloader, so that I prefer to choose asus router to donwload BT without turn on my pc. Is N16 able to done the job well or I should pick N66U which has more powerful cpu and more ram?

Any other brand has the BT download feature?

I'm currently hooking WD Passport 500GB to N16 for downloading. Usually switch off N16 when not in use as I'm not a heavy torrenter. There were times when I could torrent as many and as long as I want. But a lot of times, when I hooked my hd to N16 and torrent, after a short while, the router will just hang. Although IPTV still works, all internet connection was down although it is still indicated active by the led light there. Cannot access router and the download manager will go kookoo. I have to delete the asusware and download2 directory and restore a new backup copy (I backup the original download manager after newly install) in order to make download master working again.

I'm not sure if its the firmware problem or very likely it might finally be true that the USB port lack sufficient power to power ext hdd. External HDD still works in every sense but maybe its not receiving power sufficiently causing it to hang both N16 router and HDD itself. However at times, when I connect anew and it works, it will works continously until I shut down the router, when restarted next time, it depends on luck again.

Not sure if other router range got this problem. If no, then I would suggest going for them instead of N16. RT-N13U has download feature but no gigabit at half the price of N16. Alternatively using RT-N56U with is over RM400 that trumped N16 at all aspect but still using internal antenna. The new N66U is the best of both world having everything 56U has and 3 external antenna to boot for extended range. Its very new tho...so no feedback yet. Besides it cost a bomb, over RM500-600 a piece.
