Abstract: The draft IEEE 802.11ac spec provides for transmission speeds up to 1300 Mb/s, which is 3 times faster the current de facto 802.11n wireless standard. We find out whether Asus's top of the line RT-AC66U is able to widen the speed gap from its predecessors...
The RT-AC66U did thrill us with its zippy throughput on the 5GHz band when it was coupled with another 802.11ac bridge. On the contrary, its 2.4GHz performance was rather disappointing.At the performance end, the AC66U proved to be a classic example of th...
The Final WordEssentially, ASUS' flagship RT-AC66U is a mixed bag of tricks if we had to put our finger on it. Design-wise, there isn't much to rave about since we've seen it all before on the RT-N66U. However, this doesn't imply that the AC66U suffers fr...
