One of the best routers I've used
10/10/2013
This review is from: ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab
Pros:
Very nice UI. Easy to install and set up. Very good Wi-Fi coverage and connection quality - better than my previous routers from Linksys and Netgear.
Cons:
Wish the 5G had wider coverage, but 5G by its nature has a smaller coverage area than 2.4G. Unit had broken antenna connector when it arrived. Had to RMA.
Also, anytime the signal or power dropped, in order to get the internet connected again, I had to turn off the router, then cycle power on the cable modem. Once the cable modem was connected again, then I could turn the router back on and it would work again. Wish it was simpler than that. Runs a bit hot also, but that seems to be normal for this model.
Overall Review:
Price is high, but compared to similar products from Netgear and Linksys at the same price, I would rate this unit higher than those and would recommend it over those brands. The only reason this did not get a 5 star rating is because I have not had it long enough to justify a 5 star, plus the unit was damaged when it arrived.
