Has Promise

ASUS RT-AC66R Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router –Asus Certified.
ASUS RT-AC66R Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router –Asus Certified.

Pros: Sleek design Large feature set High throughput WAN - LAN and LAN - LAN Decent Range

Cons: Slow Web Interface and viewed from WAN/Remote 1,2 times a month router is unresponsive. I recommend rebooting this router once a week. Web Gui leave a bit to be desired as far as reliability.

Overall Review: I think it's software issues. I run the Merlin Build of ASUSWRT. Hopefully it gets better with time. I feel like they are still working out the bugs
