![]() ![]() ![]() I wonder if there was a corrupted FW upgrade/load at the factory. 164 on to it and the device came up great. I tried clearing nvram values and rebooting but no dice so I then loaded FW. What I do with my routers here is have 2.4 GHz accept anyone (so even my old PS3 can connect), and I limit 5 GHz to the newer standards.įirst of all a big thanks to Rmerlin! Looks like the router was in recovery mode the whole time. You can have it not accept b/g connections. The channel width can be set to 20, 20/40, 20/40/80 - the latter is used by 802.11ac. There is no longterm downside to it versus the N66U (aside perhaps for the DD-WRT/Tomato situation, and that's quite hypothetical).Ĩ02.11ac isn't a separate radio, so there is little point in "disabling" it. I'd say if you can afford the extra 20$ to the price, and want a device that will have a longer life (Due to 802.11ac support), go for the AC66U. The AC66U has a slightly different architecture that might make it trickier for Tomato or DD-WRT to support it (but not impossible).įirmware still has a few rough edges, especially the QoS/Wifi issue, but Asus are aware of the issue, so it's just a matter of patience there for the fix to come. They have the same CPU, same RAM, and general same wireless performance. Hardware-wise, the AC66U has more flash storage (only really useful if Asus starts releasing very large firmwares with lots of features, and even then the 32 MB the N66U has should be plenty of breathing room). They also have almost the same features, the only real differences as far as I can remember is the AC66U supports 802.11ac, and can also be set as a Media Bridge (provided you have a second one). The routers are quite similar, and exhibit the same performance. ![]()
