TYRONE GA!
This is not better than the ASUS AC-RT68U. Taking this back. I bridged two of them together and the transfer rate to my USB 3.0 external went down from an average of 27MB/s to like 19-20MB/s which is still a decent speed but not worth me switching to Netgear.

I got that RT68P ..... :banderas:

shyt is crack. Got the Merlin firmware on it too.

I have a asus rt-68 I haven't had any issues with it other than issues with the PS4 when I got it at launch...

After updating my firmware on the Nighthawks I'm getting much faster speeds on LAN transfers. Probably because I was using the RT-AC66 as a bridge and it was getting slower speeds. I'm sending files to my new NAS at a rate of 80-90 MB/s now hardwired and about 60 MB/s or so over wireless. The best I saw with the RT-AC68 was 40 MB/s.

If I sold both the ASUS routers on eBay I'd probably make a little bit over what I paid for these two Nighthawks or break even at worst.

Yeah see you actually get full use out of yours I just wanted a wifi router that would be able to last a few years and keep me semi future proof...so I got the asus....that was realized the main things I use to consume data outside of basic browsing are connected to the modem directly.

:ohhh:

If you could hold it till Friday when I get paid I may be able to take it off your hands for your asking price

We can take the transaction to PM
I'd have it longer than that. for $150 you can have both the RT-AC68 and the RT-AC66 if you want. A lil bit of a loss for me switching to Netgear but for Coli fam why not?
