Reviews ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router

This is easily the best router I have bought. I was very scared to buy this ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router because I always read reviews and a lot of people didn't like it. I kept doing research and finally went with it. The routers GUI is incredibly easy to understand and has tremendous amount of information and features.

They use plenty of icons, images, grids, laymens terms, and "?" that provide simple explanations when hovering over. It works great, is very fast, and I don't have to reset it. Follow the directions with it and you will be fine. I have had ZERO problems with it. I am a student studying network administration and know a considerable amount when it comes to networking and setting up networks. You know this means that you are getting an amazing review.

Folks this is an impressive looking piece of hardware. It uses very dark/deep blue LED's just below the top surface. This ASUS RT-AC66U dark blue lighting matches that same blue on our high end components. The small ASUS name in the back right corner is gold plated, a nice touch.

The criss-cross grid pattern is done extremely well. The unit itself is solid, a very heavy device for it's size, which is nice for a change. I'm a fan of external antenna's and these look good, fully adjustable. There's many other features you can add or simply turn on. It's the shizznit of routers for sure. I'm in the GUI every couple hours checking features, usage, etc. It's a great application for sure.

It literally took me 3 minutes to get this bad boy up and running and streaming Netflix. I replaced a Clear MiFi device and the range on the ASUS is far superior to anything i've ever had. I can literally go across the street and stream Netflix on my iPhone. Since ASUS is making firmware changes frequently, listening to their customers, I was not worried about those minor glitches when first released this device.
