Re: Recommended router for FTTP 330 Mbps?

Hi I am in the same position - have 300 enabled and looking for HH3 alternative...
Did you consider ASUS RT-N65U?
It says it is dual processor....
TY
That's what was said in the first post
In reply to a post by rotor2k:
I've had FTTP installed just recently (I just happen to be in one of the areas), and I bought an Asus RT-N66U router, which is widely regarded to be the top Gigabit/Wireless router. However, to my great disappointment, the Asus only achieves roughly 200 Mbps

Ermm... read carefully the bits I've emboldened and spot the difference...

Oh, that's very entertaining, must get those glasses fixed etc. You don't happen to know the difference between the two in terms of wan-lan throughput do you?

Not the faintest idea.

As my RT-N66U is quite capable of maxing out my FTTC connection without breaking sweat, this thread is of interest to me but of no particular relevance smile

Looking at various benchmarks, it appears the RT-N65U is an upgrade to the RT-N56U and so may well be faster than the RT-N66U, although the latter has more features and it more expensive.

I find the product naming quite confusing.

So do I at times, though Asus aren't alone in that.

But the kit is nice.

Based on what I see at ASUS - N65U is dual processor and from OP message N66U is single processor.
Also OP states that CPU is the bottleneck achieving 300 on FTTP... -
HH3 is dual processor and makes 300, N66 can't do more than 200, so I am wondering if N65U will do the job?... being cheaper than N66U as well and still providing decent WiFi

Yeah, I'm wondering that as well.

Wow thanks for the info, not a biggie having a small machine do this, but I would have preferred a dedicated device smile
