  • Abstract:  One of the most common annoyances of modern man is a poorly functioning WiFi connection. Especially now that more and more devices are becoming connected and it only gets busier in the ether, it can do no harm to take a good look at your current equipment...

  • Summarizing the results of the measured speeds tests, we can see that on the 2,4GHz frequency, the Fritz!Box 3490 is the fastest router showing speeds of 128 Mbit/s on average. Second is the DIR-879 by D-Link (average of 125 Mbit/s) and the Linksys EA7500...

  • Are you looking for an 802.11ac router? Then you'll be able to choose from a plethora of routers, since pretty much all 802.11ac models that have been released since 2012, are still readily available. This does imply that there hasn't been a lot of chan...

  • Overall, the best routers are the ASUS RT-AC68U, Apple AirPort Extreme, D-Link DIR-868L, and the Netgear R7000 Nighthawk, with Apple's offering being the fastest in almost every test. You cannot ignore this router when strictly focusing on performance, ...

  • The fastest wireless ac router yet, Excellent 802.11n speed and range, Intuitive user interface, Fast, simple setup and management
  • No USB 3.0 ports, Lacks true Cloud platform of D-Link/Linksys, Design not the most subtle
  • The Asus RT-AC66U is a superb router, but it's not quite our favourite. It's very, very fast, which is great news if you only care about performance, but rivals have a few more features we'd like Asus to add....

  • Abstract:  Five years ago, we didn't have homes with a dozen wireless nodes and the need to run HD video to multiple screens. Today we do. Our 802.11n networks, especially on the 2.4 GHz band, are swamped. Can 802.11ac save the day? We test six routers to find ou...

  • Somewhat sluggish interface, Lost Internet connectivity a few times
  • The Asus RT-AC66U is on a par with the excellent Cisco Linksys EA6500 11ac router. However, the two routers are best suited for two different types of customers. Those who may not be as comfortable setting up network devices, and would benefit from an a...

  • More technical and small business users including those wanting a true VPN server, robust IPv6, and granular control over the wireless signal will find the Asus RT-AC66U a delight....

  • To test this router we set-up a simple network in our house, which used a standard Virgin Media Router as a modem. We then plugged in both the ASUS RT-AC66U and our Buffalo AirStation Nfiniti Dual Band Wireless Router (WZR-HP-AG300H). This allows us to ha...

  • Two aspects are important with the ASUS RT-AC66U. First, how does it compare to other ac-routers? The ASUS router did clearly perform better than the Buffalo and Netgear routers. And secondly, should you get an 802.11ac instead of an 802.11n? Our curren...
