 I just got the Asus RT-N56U and love it! Signal coverage in my house is usually crap at best, but this seems to trump my earlier attempt with the Apple Airport Extreme. I can actually sit outside and use my iPad without dropping the signal. Plus, the N56U is sitting on a small table beside my couch and with it's USB ports, I can charge my iPad which is pretty rad. I'm really happy with it.
