This high-end router’s price is justified by its astonishingly fast wireless performance

Asus continues its long line of excellence with the RT-AC68U. The router is feature-rich, so much so that many users probably won't need the plethora of features it offers: users that don't benefit from things like VPN and dual-WAN support might want to look into one of Asus' cheaper models.

Got this today. This is a high end router. It has got a lot of capability, far beyond my original purpose for buying it. -aicloud -DDNS -Printer server -Connect a separate USB drive -VPN It's also fairly easy to use, just a little fiddly depending on what you're doing.

First one I received was DOA, no lights, nothing. Tried to trouble shoot on ASUS website, not much help. Tried to call ASUS tech support, their phone menu is terrible, finally navigated my way through, no one there on weekends. New one seems to be working fine.

As we start to take a look at some of the next generation wireless routers, with speeds that are far superior to those of yesteryear, it is crystal clear now that no longer do we have to worry about our wireless connections acting as a huge bottleneck in our heavily connected and technology driven...

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

ASUS' RT line of routers has developed a reputation for outstanding speeds and high quality, and the company has made significant improvements with each generation. The $219 ASUS RT-AC68U is the current result of that refining process.

Fast; Excellent throughput; Thoughtful design; Powerful firmware; Easy access to files away from home

Slow at 5 feet; Costly cloud sync

Much like its RT-AC66U precursor, Asus's RT-AC68U Dual Band Wireless AC1900 Gigabit Router resides at the high end of the consumer router category. That said, the high price equates to remarkable performance, compliments of some upgraded internal components.

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

very good router, has boost my internet speed up very well as I have about 9 devices in the house so this router is very useful to keep all connectivity running smoothly. and also I think it is so good how you can connect a hardrive to it and you can find the hardrive on your pc, tablet, smart phone...
