  • So what do we think about Asus' RT-N66U? To be honest it is a good performing device with some solid software inside. We do have some concerns about what looks like cold solder joints, but even with that you should be able to get a couple of years use out...

  • It was clear after opening up the box that the ASUS RT-N66U was not going to be the average router. Judging from the clean styling and thought that went into the design with the large removable antennas, ASUS created an enthusiast router but is able to ...
