Wireless adaptors capable of operating at the same high speeds are very limited at the moment
Unsecured wireless networks out of the box are not wise – basic security at least is far better

With record-breaking 802.11ac results, along with the all-round quality of the RT-AC68U and advanced setup options, Asus deserves recommendation for power users. Although we wouldn't buy an Asus router just for the AiCloud feature, it's far from useless...
Benchmark wireless performance, Class leading USB speeds, Intuitive CD-less setup, Remote media streaming, Very well built
No Cloud-based access to settings, Aggressive look may alienate some, Inevitable price premium
Recently we've seen a number of manufacturers release follow-ups to their debut 802.11ac routers, but Asus is the only one so far to make a true generational step up. Virtually everything has been upgraded and the combination of blistering speed, smart ne...

Has an iconic design, Still performs really well, Will work with both WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 client devices, It supports AiMesh
Doesn't have some of the latest features that newer Asus routers do, Still a bit expensive considering its age, Gets a bit hot
Asus RT-AC68U v1 vs v3As expected, Asus did not make any changes to the design of the RT-AC68U and they didn't really need to considering that it doesn't occupy that much space due to its vertical case (which actually stood as inspiration to the newer RT-...

Super easy to use, decent set of features,
Below average throughput, somewhat expensive
Overall, the ASUS RT-AC68U is a decent router. It's not amazing, but it isn't awful either. We don't really recommend it, favoring the slightly cheaper models that perform identically overall, but the ASUS might be a solid choice if you are shopping in it...
I really like the overall premise of AiMesh - the idea that you should be able to add more routers to the router you already have and like, instead of needing to chuck it out and invest in a completely different mesh kit.If you've currently got one AiMesh...

If you're on the market to purchase a new router, but feel a bit intimidated by all these new crazy looking devices which promise unearthly wireless speed performance, then an AC1900 may be the better decision and both the Asus RT-AC68U and the Linksys WR...

It's clear that the ASUS RT-AC68U is the superior router, especially from a hardware point of view, but that doesn't necessarily mean you will use all that power and its latest features. Still, when using VPN and QoS you will definitely see an improvement...
