From what I have read about it so far, its Big and very fast, beats pretty much anything from Asus routers including the new Asus AC68U Router also.

Its $199.99 in US

Its been out for sale in USA for past few weeks, no ETAs mentioned on the UK front as usual or UK price.

Still cheaper and faster then Asus latest and best offering

Some guy on the smallnetbuilder forums mentioned how he tested the slanted and angeled design of the router, and confirmed its slanted to allow heat to push out of the unit quicker. So its not just a funky shape for no reason.

Of course however software and optimisation is what counts big time. DD-WRT is supported also, but just basic setup and features for now since its new.
