bad router expirience!!

[jboydgolfer]

i have heard this was good router,and its now on sale..,what is your opinion??

if you mean by USB (which is what ive used) it works "well enough" on 2.0, but id personally prefer 3.0 for large file transfers and backups, iirc my speeds were 4Mb/s on usb 2.0 which as you can imagine are a bit shitty, .

well i would also prefer usb 3.0 but there is no router under 120€ with that option!!
so what i have notices most of you guys say that asus "something"66 is good one!!
im going to try to find that one on sale or something!!if i find used one would be great also..

With the ASUS, RT-AC66U or RT-AC66R or RT-AC66W(hite), these are all the same router.
It is a good router, but ASUS has recently changed the support site. When you are prompted to select the OS, go to OTHER at the bottom for Firmware.

This is a better solution to the Firmware: http://asuswrt.lostrealm.ca/

dont expect much performance from storage hooked to usb2 on rooter
i'd rather get router will good internal speeds and attach to it single drive nas
i cant say anything about dir 850. i've recommended wndr3700 cause i own one and i had 0 problems with it. for 5 years i had to intentionally restart it no more then 10 times. i've picked it up because of its review on www.smallnetbuilder.com
@remixedcat makes test and reviews on routers for her blog. she might be able to give you better advice about dir 850.

I only use mine as an AP anymore but it's a good home grade router. Merlin is excellent and very stable and adds the right amount of options and capability to the AsusWRT firmware.
