Excellent wireless performance Chris Yeomans October 25, 2013
I ended up returning a different router which didn't end up covering enough of my 2 bedroom apartment. This router is great for streaming to my Roku and has handled 10 different devices on the network at any given time. For those interested, the router I returned was the Medialink - Wireless N Broadband Router - 300 Mbps, which, despite having great reviews, just didn't cut it for me. The addition of the external antenna really adds to the range.
Very Functional Router D. J. "D. J." (Cleveland, OH USA) October 22, 2013
I bought this to replace a Cisco Linksys that I've had for 5 years. So far it works great. Range is about comparable to the Linksys...perhaps just a little stronger. Guest access features are nice. It was just a little annoying that the router "reboots" when making some minor changes. No big deal, you just have to wait to reconnect.
5 GHz Flakey M. Choo (New Jersey) February 25, 2013
I've been using Linksys WRT54G with Tomato and it had been solid (I previously had a WRT54GL, but that got fried), but wanted to upgrade, specifically to use the 5 GHz band, since I have other legacy devices using 2.4 GHz. So I got the Asus RT-AC66U to future-proof myself. My mistake. The 5 Ghz on this is flakey at best. I need to reboot the router everyday, as the 5 GHz will stop working (stop accepting connections, although the status page says it's fine). After some more research, turns out it's a known issue and they're "working on it." So, essentially, it's just a 2.4 GHz band router. If that was the case, I could have gotten a good one for less than half the price. Not sure why no one else on the Amazon reviews pointed this out.
One bad ass router...simply the best Easy Rider "sgm395" (Alpharetta, Georgia United States) December 22, 2012
If you can afford this router, buy it. Simply the best. I upgraded from a D-Link DIR-655, and the improvement in speed and coverage was dramatic. Now I have no dead spots in anywhere in my 3-story, 6,000 sq. ft. home, and fantastic response times all around. My multi-year quest for the perfect router has finally ended!
ASUS RT_AC66U IS AS FAST WIRELESS AS IT IS WIRED! steverino (chattanooga) December 1, 2012
Received my ASUS RT-AC66U last week. Bought this router based on reviews and considered the fact than AC band is where wireless is headed. This router can handle that band and is backward compatible. Set-up took about 5 minutes. Based on review advice, I then turned up power output to the max 200W. My carrier is fiber optic and I subscribe to the 100Mbps upload and download speeds. With my new router wirelessly I get speeds of 116Mbps download and 102Mbps up! This is on the 5Mghz N band. The speed is the same as using the ethernet connection and 3X faster than my old Dlink 660. So far I am extremely satisfied. Would definitely recommend. Can't wait to see what this router would do on the new AC band.
