Ceiling of Opportunity

Asus RT-AC66U is perhaps the most functional and expensive router that generally makes sense to buy for home or office. Only the so-called "gaming" routers are more expensive, but this is pure marketing. If you need to increase the number of wired or wireless Internet users, then it is cheaper to use a switch and a repeater, respectively.

More gigabit

The RT-AC66U has three physical antennas, but there are nine MIMO antennas. Thanks to this, it is able to accelerate to a theoretical speed of 1300 Mbps over the air. In fact, it turns out about 350 Mbps, which is a very real figure, given the presence of a 1000 Mbps Ethernet input port. The indisputable advantage of the RT-AC66U is two USB ports at once. Supports connection of printers and 3G/4G modems.

More USB, More Capacity

But the most interesting thing is to connect two external hard drives at once and turn the RT-AC66U into a super-capacious storage for movies and music. Moreover, he even has his own application for downloading torrents. A 600 MHz processor and as much as 256 MB of RAM are enough for all these functions. As a result, the main target audience of the Asus RT-AC66U is the owners of gigabit Internet channels (providers have been providing such services in large cities for several years) who want to turn the router into a universal multimedia centre. Or those who want to buy a router for growth.
