Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Whatever the cause, the RT-AC66U's TCP throughput jumped to a staggering 525 mbps at this location—the fastest performance in the field by a wide margin.
- PC World
As a 5GHz router the RT-AC66U offered stellar performance, with the fastest data rate I've seen yet.
-
Interestingly – despite these excellent figures – the AC66U shines brightest at 2.4GHz 802.11n.
- Trusted Reviews

What reviewers didn't like

On my 2.4GHz 802.11n benchmark tests, the RT-AC66U performed slightly below the average marks for all five 802.11ac routers, especially at close range (in the bedroom and kitchen tests).
- PC World
I noted that with the latest firmware, version 3.0.0.4.246, the router seemed to be hotter than before during heavy loads.
-
Mydlink is far more limited in this way, but you save money and D-Link has a Cloud platform to develop while Asus is keeping schtum on any fully fledged Cloud platform plans for now.
