Until now I had more AVM Fritz! Box devices, the last two years, the FRITZ! Box Fon WLAN 7390. In theory, even very good technique, but in practice -! As by now it turns out - no comparison with the ASUS RT-N66U what WLAN performance concerns. It may be that I purely because of the VoIP telephony still keep the FritzBox, as WiFi headquarters but it will no longer be operational from now! Even behind the two walls 5GHz WiFi network was the Fritzbox no longer usable and 2.4GHz only "sufficient" (20-30%). Now with this "Black Diamond" no longer a problem! 2.4GHz well usable at 80% and 5 GHz. And above all really fast it is! Three websites and online apps to show content on my Galaxy S II felt to five times faster than previously with the Fritz box, and even (almost) regardless of distance. Feels something like DSL upgrade from 3000 to 16000 kbps!
Other nice features of the router:
- Looks really classy (quality materials)
- Can be mounted on the wall or on the table or stand
- Was completely configured within a few minutes and ready
- Flexibly configurable via a smart web interface
- Can be configured as a media server and / or download torrents without a PC, among other things (not tried)
- Alternative operating system DD-WRT already available
- Low power consumption and low, in spite of these mega power
So disposed of your Fritz boxes, you will not regret it!
ADDENDUM (14 February 2012):
After the first week, there is nothing to complain about. Still runs fast and stable.
Kind of funny that available directly from AMAZON this router is still not ... Redcoon delivers within 2 business days - highly recommended!
