Asus N66U vs. N66ROk so Im comparing the above mentioned asus models, the only difference that I was able to find was the cloud service, is there anything else that is different? Is the N66R an older version or vice versa? Im looking at these as I need to upgrade my router in preparation to go to Turbo. |

Essentially the same hardware, different packaging/marketing. I believe the N66R is available at Best Buy. |

I got the R from bestbuy. ITS A BEAST. you'll love that router.
Best Buy does that with a lot of things so you cant pricematch from other stores because its not the "same model" sneaky bastards |

Its just that if something goes wrong ,its a pain to ship back . Then you have to wait weeks for a replacement. At the store you just walk in and your done. Its been too many times Ive got something and its been dead right out of the box. |

No with Amazon you just box it up put the label on (its prepaid) and send it back and they credit your card in two days...in meantime go ahead and order replacement And its never any questions asked... |

WOW I have the Asus RT-N66U I had no idea there was a N66R Model. All I can tell you is my Asus RT-N66U (Tomato Shibby FW) is a powerful Beast and my connection is flawless in every aspect. My Second Router in my other part of the house is a ASUS RT-N56U (Padavan FW) (Thanks Gary for your recommendation) I would recommend either one of these wireless routers to anyone |
