Awesome Home Router?

I have the 66, probably the best bit of tech I have bought in a long time. It's rock solid, wireless is infinitely better than the superdud and I have never once had to reset it, it's well worth the cash.
 
Just stuck the superhub on modem mode and added an Asus RT-N66U... and I'm rather impressed... it's given me a massive improvement in latencies - greatly noticeable when browsing the web & a good few ms off in BF3 :)
 
iPad works at the bottom of the back garden (router at front of house) and I haven't changed signal strength... The ****hub didn't even extend out of the house!

There was an almost dead bedroom too, that's now got very good signal too.

Wish I could share the management interface... It's rather pretty, works well and is the most well featured consumer router I've used... Beating out drayteks IMO

Bought myself an RT-N56U a few weeks ago and was using it with the standard modem. Modem started playing up so they've sent me a superhub. I was going to ask whether the superhub was any good or whether I should use it as a modem with the 56U. looks like I don't have to ask. Will be setting it up as a modem tomorrow.
 
My 56U still hasn't been touched since it was put in & gives great wifi range :)

Only issue is needing to switch between the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz options occasionally but that's not the biggest problem.
 
Ahhhh

Ordered the rt-n66u yesterday from ocuk and sods law, asus announce its successor today, rt-ac66u :mad:
I would return it, but my linksys 610n is really on its last legs, Im having to hardware reset it a couple of times a week and the 2.4 ghz band is completely unreliable now and transfer rates are at a snails pace so waiting isn't an option any more as I was waiting for .11ac

The only consolation is that we don't have any .11ac capable equipment at the moment, but this is still going to bug me
 
Meh - the only improvements are to the wireless, something that doesn't bother me at all. I was contemplating DSRing for a minute there!

Looks like there's been a reduction in the USB ports too... albeit, I don't need them either - lol

Anything that allows custom firmwares you can't go wrong.. I've got an Asus RT-N16 and couldn't be happier.

Totally agree, I have been running dd-wrt on the 610 for 3 years, rock solid and love the extra features.
Gonna stick shibbys tomato firmware on the rt-n66
 
I see no need for the tomato firmware - supposed small improvements in QoS, but the other "reasons to switch" seem to be bug fixes that have been fixed in the latest official firmware anyway.

I think he means on the client... the router broadcasts two networks simultaneously, you have to manually switch between them if you want/need to :)

So choose the 5G band one if you can and leave it, if you can't then choose the normal. No need for switching between them at all?

I don't... the devices that can't see the 5 network are on the 2.4... the ones that can are on the 5... it's the guy I quoted who's switching ;)
