Maybe more than I need but overall happy with the setup.

Bought as a second access point to the house. I was very concerned about the setup as a second router will not automatically configure the first (provided by Verizon FIOS) to see all devices on the network. It took a few attempts, but it finally worked. A few points worth noting. You need a PC. connected to this router to configure it. Depending on your location, moving the PC to the router may or may not be an easy task. I have a laptop and had to take it to the basement of the house where I…

Pros
  • 802.11n: up to 450Mbps; 802.11a/g: up to 54 Mbps; 802.11b: up to 11 Mbps
Cons
  • Not sure

Excellent router, good range, high bandwidth and stability. Use AsusWRT Merlin firmware

Mode Mode. Nobody in my area had Wi-Fi. Since then I've switched multiple consumer routers from Cisco, D-Link, Netgear, Asus, Buffalo, and TP-Link. Let's fast forward. my Tomato-USB Cisco E2000 eventually started to fail. Decided to use a used RT-N66U because it might work with Tomato Shibby.

Pros
  • 3 detachable antennas for 2.4GHz/5GHz with 3dBi/5dBi peak gain
Cons
  • Appearance

Really good: computers and accessories

The device is really good, but it has one "problem": you have to know how to use it. By default, it's set up to please the average customer, but if you're a little taller you might find it underpowered. That's the wrong impression! And that was my case. I installed the router and was impressed with the quality of the admin UI and the range of features. Well, the next thing I found was ridiculously slow upload speeds - about half of what my ISP offers (10Mbps). I tried playing around with the…

Pros
  • Supports Ethernet and 802.3 with max. bit rate 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
Cons
  • The cable is shorter than other picks
