Asus RT-AC66U Reviews
Asus RT-AC66U Dual-band 802.11ac Wireless Router
Asus currently builds the best consumer-oriented 802.11n router—the RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless N900, which I used as a reference device to compare new 802.11ac routers against. After testing the company's $200 RT-AC66U, I believe that Asus also markets the best 802.11ac router currently available, too, though the offerings from several other manufacturers come close. The new RT-AC66U and the older RT-N66U look almost identical: Bucking the industry trend of hiding antennas inside the enclosure, both of these routers provide three removable and upgradable dipole antennas that you can reposition to deliver the best wireless performance. They're mounted to the exterior of a satin-black, diamond-plate-finish plastic enclosure. The routers can lie flat, sit semivertically on the provided stand, or be mounted to the wall. The RT-AC66U provides two USB 2.0 ports, so you can attach both a USB hard drive and a USB printer, and then share the devices over the network. I didn't evaluate try to connect a printer to the router's USB port, but the RT-AC66U was very fast at transferring files to and from an attached 500MB 2.5-inch USB hard drive.
Asus RT-AC66U 802.11ac
The RT-AC66U 802.11ac Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router is the first wireless router from Asus to support the new 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard. Other than that it's basically the same as the Asus RT-N66U router. That said, the RT-AC66U offers very fast Wi-Fi on the 5GHz frequency band, both with Wireless-N clients and AC clients. In fact it's the fastest of the few 802.11ac routers currently available on the market. The router also has very good range and its USB ports provide more than just the support for external storage and printers. Like the RT-N66U, the RT-AC66U meets its downfall on the 2.4GHz band, where its performance was close to terrible for a router of its tier. Its Web interface, while fun to use, could also use some improvement. If you're looking for a top-notch 802.11ac-ready router and most of your Wi-Fi hardware devices support the 5GHz band, at its street price of about $190 the RT-AC66U would make an excellent choice. Otherwise, you might want to wait for better firmware, and check out our list of current Top 5 routers, especially the Netgear R6300.
