OK,
I'm looking for a new router, I need some thing with a little but more zest in it, A bit more Flash Ram and a better faster processor. (for a VPN)
So I was just about to buy the following:
ASUS-RT-N16
and then noticed reading between the lines.
The ASUS RT-N16 is in the 100Mbps+ Routing class, meaning it can route at higher speeds than a 100Mbps WAN connection can handle, but it does not even attempt to approach GigaBit WAN performance. Performance details below.
Test Description
Throughput - (Mbps)
WAN - LAN 141.1
LAN - WAN 143.3
Total Simultaneous 155.9
Max. Connections 200
Firmware Version 1.0.0.6
ASUS RT-N66U
is a Dual Band N-Router (2.4GHz and 5GHz bands)
with lots of RAM (256Mb) and FlashRAM (32Mb), so it is well equipped to run DD-WRT/Tomato
The ASUS RT-N66U is in the GigaBit Routing class, meaning it can route at higher speeds than a 100Mbps WAN connection can handle. Performance details below.
Test Description
RT-N66U
WAN - LAN 732 Mbps
LAN - WAN 729 Mbps
Total Simultaneous 810 Mbps
Maximum Simultaneous Connections 34,925
Firmware Version 3.1.0.3.90 (stock firmware number)
Each port is 1Gb/s. It has 250MB RAM & 32MB flash as well as 2 USB 2.0 ports & an internal SD card reader / writer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I've been sitting behind a NETGEAR WNR3500. I need to get rid of the WNR3500 as it only has 8 meg of flash and 64MB ram which is no good for encryption/tunnel/vpn etc. That's why I was looking for something a bit faster, there's a price difference though of about £50.00 between them two new ones. make sense to go for the RTN66U ?
What ya think?
