[Maylyn's Review] ASUS RT-AC66U Dark Knight Rises

[Ferderico]

Quite sad to mention this, but this router is probably the worst router i ever used. To spend close to 3 times more than an average router, it performs 1/3 of an average router.

I am no IT savvy esp in networking. But for a simple task of being a router for my internet access, I kept getting lost connection.

The problem area was narrowed down to the router rather than the modem which Starhub provides.

big sigh~

Have u try InSSIDer to see which channel in your house is congested?
This router is one of the best consumer router, try updating the firmware of the router and your wireless driver. 2.4GHz congestion and interference also will cause u to disconnect.

I have been using this for 2 weeks, so far no disconnection. Is it the network reception is not good?

Leaked news info point to the srp stands at 18% higher than the initial AC66U launch srp.

Which is at the moment, I feel that is fairly priced.

I have been having some problems. My 5GHz connection always DC. And when I use my phone to connect to 5GHz, it says Authentication Error? I have to off and on and my router and ONT for it to be resolved.

It does not occur on my 2.4GHz. Any help?
