Wifi Network Performance
Customers have mixed opinions regarding the wifi network performance of the ASUS RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router. While some are pleased with its ability to support maximum speeds for all devices and great performance, others have experienced issues such as frequent disconnects and bugs that required downgrading the firmware.
Device Connectivity
Customers have mixed feelings about the device connectivity of the ASUS RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router. While some are pleased with its ability to easily monitor and rename connected devices, others report issues with WiFi stability and DDNS functionality.

Highlights
Quality
They all work great around the house, often with 2 or 3 devices streaming tv on a 50mbit connection.
I have to give this a 5 star rating for great performance and easy upkeep.
Even better keep my old dir-655 return both asus and re-buy this thing when the fw is working.
Update 1/21/12: wifi stability is poor, devices connect and drop randomly.
Price
The big dilemma is keep the rt-n56u (can return it up until jan 31) or keep this one until the a$$ from asus release a working fw.
Ac is so new unless you have a real need for it, the n900 speed is a great price.
Competitiveness
Yeah, they all do, even the best cisco routers.
378 4850 that is running great too, better than the "official" firmware.
