2.4GHz output isn't as performable
The ASUS RT-AC66U is, essentially, the RT-N66U given an 802.11ac boost. That said, it's the RT-N66U taken to the next step in networking performances with all of its fantastic features in tow. If you're looking to future-proof your networking needs, the ...
The Final WordEssentially, ASUS' flagship RT-AC66U is a mixed bag of tricks if we had to put our finger on it. Design-wise, there isn't much to rave about since we've seen it all before on the RT-N66U. However, this doesn't imply that the AC66U suffers fr...
The RT-AC66U did thrill us with its zippy throughput on the 5GHz band when it was coupled with another 802.11ac bridge. On the contrary, its 2.4GHz performance was rather disappointing.At the performance end, the AC66U proved to be a classic example of th...
Based on the results from the different tests, it is obvious that Wireless AC indeed has significant improvements over Wireless N in terms of speeds. The results are clear. If you want to have actual fibre speeds on wireless, either setup on the PCE-AC66 ...
Abstract: The draft IEEE 802.11ac spec provides for transmission speeds up to 1300 Mb/s, which is 3 times faster the current de facto 802.11n wireless standard. We find out whether Asus's top of the line RT-AC66U is able to widen the speed gap from its predecessors...
