No idea about TP Link, but since I own Asus N13U I can tell you about it.

Some points about it:

  • Router is performing perfectly well, at least for me.
  • No range issues, again at least for me (but I agree it has got bad range compared to other routers in this range, thanks to the internal antenna. But still, I am able to make it work across 3 floors; 2,3(router),4. PS: Range problem should be vertically, if it'd be there, not horizontally, I believe.)
  • Asus firmware is perfectly stable.
  • Download master is working pretty well including p2p.
  • There are all the advanced options which I will or may use. (And probably you too)
  • Finally it will void the warranty if I chose ddwrt.

Above points also explain why I shouldn't upgrade to ddwrt.

Now reasons why I should upgrade to ddwrt.

  • You must have read that Asus firmware is buggy, but the actual culprit is DM

Reasons >

  • It doesn't supports resume after a power cut, you have to do it manually.
  • Plus it supports only FAT32, can't say about ext3. That means I can't download files > 4GB. So think, what's the purpose of p2p download, if you can't DL > 4GB files ?

Still, its good or arguably best in this range.

PS: I'm still DLing 24/7 :p

Why are you asking ebay link from us when you can search by your own? Nobody discussed about ebay. I got it for 3200/- locally. You can get for around 3k if you find a good deal.

^Well it was the same case here. It should be available given that you search hard. I searched for almost 50 shops, and it was available in only two shops. The only reason I bought locally as I wanted to be sure of B1 version which most of the online stores don't tell.

FK price is about 200 bucks overpriced - still you can get from them - just send them a detailed email asking them to check the version - ask them to check the back of the box - that's where its mentioned if its B1 or not - they will reply in 2 days and in my experience, they usually don't lie. Just don't forget to mention what you want checked and exactly where.
