Pros: Up and running in just a couple minutes, fast, dependable (TBD). See other thoughts

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: It never ceases to amaze me how electronics these days don't last, not to mention the technology behind them seems to move backwards at times. My point being, a common theme between routers I’ve found is for the first 6 months to a year they all work great, than the slow wireless intermittent connection of death begins to creep in. I just trash canned a (perfectly good, other than wireless problem, just over 1-1/2 year old) Netgear WNDR4500 (blood boiling). Then you have a few backwards built AC models using USB 2.0 instead of 3.0, why?
I know, I know I’m supposed to be leaving feedback on the ASUS RT-N66U, but I am so frustrated with router builders these days. Can anyone make a router that lasts past the next generation and/or produce a product with all the latest and greatest features and last for more than 1 year? I’ll pay top dollar for it I DON’T CARE, just make it.
As for the RT-N66U, I researched countless websites and reviews and found the ASUS RT-N66U being one of the best, though buying this model meant taking a step backwards compared my newly junked WNDR4500 however, the alternative would mean buying one of the new AC models and from the reviews I’ve read they are just about as unpredictable as anything else, not to mention most lack USB 3.0 support. In addition very few devices can take advantage of the new technology anyway and the prices would scare away all but enthusiasts like myself. What’s the use of having the latest and greatest if they don’t work properly or last?
Back to the RT-N66U, My home/small business network consists of the following: 1x RT-N66U, 2x range extenders, 1x 16TB file server, 1x 3TB network drive via the router usb, Pogoplug with 3TB drive, 5x destops, 7x laptops, 6x cells, 2x pads, and a ton of home theater and home security devices I won’t mention. 70% of the network utilization is wireless. 30% of that runs on the 5G portion. Believe it or not, most of this runs 24/7. Side note: I just recently acquired the Galaxy S4, connected it to the Wi-Fi 5G and ran a Megapath speed test with download speeds of 33MBs from 20’ away, nice!
Long story short the RT-N66U handled anything I threw at it with no signs of slowing or exhibiting any distress. At this point I am very pleased and would recommend it to anybody who’s either in my position or looking to upgrade an older router. From $149-$169 on the average the RT-N660 it’s a no brainer. Though a bit older in technology and lacks some bells a whistles compared to its modern brethren it’s proven itself to be a contender.

I’ll keep you posted.
