Asus RT N66U Firmware Upgrade

Asus RT-N66U Firmware Upgrade

Hardware
The 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
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.
If you are looking for less expensive routers, that are also well suited to run DD-WRT, you might want to check out the Asus RT-N16 Single Band N-Router (2.4GHz only) but still with lots of RAM (128Mb) and FlashRAM (32Mb). Even cheaper is the Asus RT-N10U Single Band N-Router with 32Mb RAM and 8Mb FlashRAM. See also ASUS Promo page
