If you're looking for an 802.11ac router with great range and throughput, Asus' RT- AC68U Dual-band Wireless-AC1900 Gigabit Router ($199.99) topped our tests on both measures. It's also got solid small business features and a highly polished interface.

Topped our speed and range tests in 802.11ac mode; Advanced features suited for small business; Clean, polished user management interface

Not much benefit over previous models for networks with only 802.11n wireless clients; No automatic notification of new firmware; Non-removable stand

Brilliant router works great out of the box but as we have 2 xbox ones in the household I installed dd-wrt firmware and this router is just amazing, wifi reaches every corner of the house at super fast speeds at 5ghz. I knew from reviews what i was buying, every home should have one.

Top Notch Router

nothing

I ordered this router to replace a TP-LINK TP-WR841N which never really worked well. I intended to load DD-WRT on this product, but after receiving the RT-AC68U and using the factory firmware, I really liked it. So far I haven't found anything that it can't do.

The design may not be to everyone's taste, but this ADSL / VSDL modem router offers a good balance of performance, usability and price. Here's our Asus DSL-AC68U review.

I have so many things to review, so many things this month that I am completely spoilt for choice, but right now the best gadget in my life is this wonderful contraption I have recently procured from PC World, so I shall start with that.

Really fast; great VPN speeds; stealth mode..

Quite expensive

Permanent VDSL disconnects with any settings. Asus are firing out firmware updates like there's no tomorrow, but still extremely unstable. Returned and refunded by BT - top class service. Replaced with the RT-AC87U (also from BT Shop), working with an Openreach modem, all AOK.

These are garbage - constant whiff dropouts no matter what solution I try. Best left alone.

Asus has made a name for itself in the router game, typically providing high-performance units with plenty of flexibility. The DSL-AC68U continues the tradition. It's rated at 1,900Mbps -- that is, a single 802.11AC stream capable of 1,300Mbps, combined with a 2.4GHz stream rated up to 600Mbps.

Asus continues its strong showing with its high performing, extensively optioned router; Its VDSL capability could mean future-proofing for some

The price will sting; and for those with USB plans; you only get one port

Asus are well-known for pushing out the speed boundaries to even greater lengths when we consider their motherboards and graphics cards so it is only fair that they take this drive to push further and deliver us one of the world's fastest wireless routers.

Superior wireless signal strength and throughput speed; Dual-WAN capability with fail over protection and load balancing; Mobile applications for access to USB storage and router setup; More than capable of delivering the power needed for the next couple of years; Highly reputable brand when it...

Wireless adaptors capable of operating at the same high speeds are very limited at the moment; Unsecured wireless networks out of the box are not wise – basic security at least is far better; Not necessarily the first name you would think of when it comes to networking

Early in 2013 we tested an ASUS wireless router that supported 802.11AC standard draft. However, just before the end of the year ASUS came up with a new router, which is even faster and more robust. Let us get you familiar with ASUS RT-AC68U!

Excellent speeds in the wireless network segment; Support of OpenVPN; High operation speeds with an external USB disc; Support of double WAN port; Great wired speeds; Ability to create up to three guest networks in each wireless range; Support of IPv6

The web-interface is not completely translated; High price
