Not cheap for a home router
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

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...

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 ...

The N900 is a strong wireless performer, but it's hard to recommend at its current price point because it has such a limited feature set. The Asus RT-N66U is much more powerful, has many more features, and it costs less....
