USB ports should be SuperSpeed
Easier access to router buttons
Not cheap for a home router

Kitguru says
Another great router from ASUS which delivers fantastic all round performance at a very reasonable price point
Fantastic wireless range. Good 5GHz speeds. USB ports support 3G failover. Easy-to-use, well-thought-out interface. Download software built in for those without NAS. Multiple guest SSIDs. Detachable antennas
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
While the RT-N66U may not have had the fastest 2.4GHz signal at close quarters, it certainly has the best range of any 802.11n router we've tested. Add to this the easy-to-use interface, leagues of options and the fact that it simply works — we can't hel...
Abstract: The ASUS router line-up was stagnant for quite some time, but it recently came roaring back into the fold with a range of new designs and products. At the top of the new performance range is the RT-N66U, which supports dual-band 450Mbps wireless, Gigab...
The true dualband Asus RTN66U Dark Knight Double 450Mbps N Router offers excellent coverage, stable wireless signals, and stellar data rates on the 5GHz band. The router comes with a generous feature set and can also work as a standalone VPN server.
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
Though not perfect, the Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight Double 450Mbps N Router would make an excellent network gateway for home and small-office environments....
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, ...
Great performance over dual bandwidths; Easy to expand WiFi signal; Simple UI; Multiple guest accounts; Media haring over FTP and DLNA; VPN, Firewall & parental Controls,
Slightly expensive; Number of options can get a little overwhelming for new users.
All said and done, the ASUS RT-N66U provides a simple interface for you to startup your home or business wireless network, giving you a plethora of options to choose and customize should you decide to dig in. The best part is that to use most of these ...
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...
Dark and sexy design, Supports file sharing and multiple SSIDs, Breakneck downlink speeds, IPv6 support
Steep price
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...
