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
The RTN66U's firmware is a little buggy and its data rate on the 2.4GHz band could use some improvement. The router's USB ports don't support the USB 3.0 standard
Supereasy setup, Fast performance on wired and 5GHz WiFi band, Good looks
USB ports should be SuperSpeed, Easier access to router buttons
the Dark Knight Router should at least be on a shortlist for your next router upgrade, though, as always, bringing down the price to sub-£100 would play well . The latest generation of routers bundled in with broadband providers' packages provide ampl...
It's nice to see that none of the routers in this test perform poorly, but a few of them don't seem to take advantage of the extra data stream. We would still choose the 300n Netgear WNDR3800 over no less than nine of the fourteen 450N routers in this t...
The ASUS RT-N66U is one of the best routers we have ever tested in our lab, if not the best. In terms of wireless performance this router leaves its competition in the dust. Moreover, the RT-N66U has a huge number of features such as the option to downl...

A cracking, feature-rich router, but comes at a rather hefty price for a home router...
Tons of useful features, Optimized for gamers, Supports 2.5Ghz and 5Ghz, Allows simultaneous dual band connection, Supports Guest Connections
USB 3.0 not supported, Pricey
The Asus RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900 is best router I've used so far. The quality of connection now (using my dated router) is significantly poor compared to the quality while using Asus' Dark Knight router. As an occasional gamer and media consumer, ...
Dark and sexy design, Supports file sharing and multiple SSIDs, Breakneck downlink speeds, IPv6 support
Steep price
The first engineering version didn't perform up to scratch - it crashed and burned. But ASUS managed to turn things around with a fully functional firmware which does justice to the N66U's aggressive hardware and impressive throughput speeds.There are har...
Abstract: This was a long overdue post as I had been using the ASUS RT-N66U for the past 6 months. Overall experience is great, especially for the wireless receptivity as this router is running on dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) with 3 base antennas. Never once did I h...

It is time to conclude the RT-N66U as succinctly as we can. Looks wise, the N66U has our vote over the previous N56U for a few reasons. For one, we see no harm in external and upgradable antennas, and we also favor the router's matte finishing as oppos...
