Review on πŸ”Œ ASUS RT-AC66W: High-Performance Dual-Band AC1750 Gigabit Router for Seamless Wireless Connectivity by Nick Esquibel

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great inexpensive router for home use.

Note: This review is for AC1750 (white with 3 antennas, cost $140 at the time of purchase) Pretty good router, especially for such a price. Lots of choice, with my 5 bars all over the house, from my basement to my attic. I even get 4 pool bars. Good things: excellent reliability. I bought this router a year ago and haven't had any issues with it despite dealing with a variety of devices (tablets, 3 laptops, desktop, PS Vita(s), 3DS, WiiU, PS3, XB360, smartphones etc.) I have only restarted 4 or 5 times in the last year, and that was only when I had to restart my modem to get back on my cable (thanks, Comcast!). warm anyway, so I recommend keeping it outdoors (ie not shoved in a small enclosed closet). I also keep it dust free, although I have no idea if that helps or not. The antennas don't seem to be as durable as we'd like, but that shouldn't be a problem unless you have toddlers/pets with too much dust. (potentially destructive) energy. I've read/heard other buyers having issues with a router not hitting advertised top speeds, but my damn American commuter internet doesn't hope I can hit speeds high enough to test those claims.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Minor flaws
