  • Excellent Wi-Fi range and speeds, Comprehensive Web interface, Great design
  • Steep price tag, 3G and 4G stick compatibility is murky
  • ASUS's RT-N66U N900 is about as fully-featured as a consumer Wi-Fi router could get. It's got a great Web interface that makes it one of the easiest to use, most versatile routers we've tried out. It's expensive, and there are a few extras that are imperf...

  • Fantastic wireless range. Good 5GHz speeds. USB ports support 3G failover. Easy-to-use, well-thought-out interface. Download software built in for those without NAS. Multiple guest SSIDs. Detachable antennas
  • Close performance for 2.4GHz isn't as good as it could be. Asus does not supply 3G dongle-compatibility list. Can run a little hot
  • While the RT-N66U may not have had the fastest 2.4GHz signal at close quarters, it certainly has the best range of any 802.11n router we've tested. Add to this the easy-to-use interface, leagues of options and the fact that it simply works — we can't hel...

  • Great overall performance, Lots of useful features, Extremely stable router, Very well built, Modest price
  • 5 GHz performance can be beaten at this price point, Will need a 450 Mbps adapter to get best performance, Kitguru says: Another great router from ASUS which delivers fantastic all round performance at a very reasonable price point, Rating: 9.0, Pages: 1
  • To test this router we set-up a simple network in our house, which used a standard ISP provided Virgin Media Router as a modem. We then plugged in both the ASUS RT-N66U and our Buffalo AirStation Nfiniti Dual Band Wireless Router (WZR-HP-AG300H). This all...
