excellent signal quality and coverage

The Asus RT-AC66 Router is now for a few months in operation. A conspicuous feature of this router is of course the reception. With three antennas (detachable) and the good equipment he looks good in terms of reach and the stability of the connection signal - (used with MacBook Pro Retina 13 and 15 (Late 2013 and Mid 2014); iPhone 5s; Windows 8 Tower, on LAN iPad and iPad Mini Retina Air +; Nexus 7, 2013). For me some disturbance frequencies are available from other devices but also herewith the router can handle and does a good job.

The design is of course subjective. I like it not very good, but the router is not set to its design. He impresses with its performance. Unfortunately, the Asus router also uses the old USB 2.0 technology. Thus, the two USB ports are rather useless for me. For the price I would have liked to see USB 3.0.
Unlike the software is there. The Asus router has a very pleasant surface and is very good as well as simple to set up. However, it is not really designed clearly for inexperienced users. Here Asus could make improvements, then not only experienced users have the option most out of your AC router.

What I like not so good at the router, the energy management, the router runs at approx .: 10 Watt in idyll and also under load 10 watts, it does not just consume little power. He also gets very hot, that I have changed the place at which he is to have a better airflow around the router.

All in all I can recommend the router if one is willing to pay the price and to a more seasoned consumer is to adjust everything well.
