    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    Thanks for the suggestion. Didn't work though. I actually gave it one last attempt to get this going. I updated the firmware through the browser and set defaults when I got the router. This last time I put the router in recovery mode and used the Asus Firmware Restoration utility to upload...

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    I did upgrade my ethernet card to the latest driver. Still no luck. I believe the RT-N16 also uses a Broadcom chip and it functions properly and connects at Gigabit speed when I plug my computer into it.

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    Gave it a try with the router connected directly after a reset to default settings and the such. Still no luck. I think it's just a dud. Will have to return it I guess. Appreciate everyone's advice.

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    I used the same cables each time. I loaded the firmware and all I changed was to make the router into an access point. I did not touch any other settings. I have not tried it on any other computer as they do not have gigabit ethernet cards. I really don't think it is anything with my...

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    I was thinking about it since I have loaded alternate firmwares on most of my other routers but I didn't want to mess around with it and have to restore the original firmware before I return it to the store. Assuming that it is really messed up. Not sure how difficult it is to put Tomato on...

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    I tried that already. There is a BIG difference between the two connections. I get about 10 times the speed when I connect to the RT-N16 as opposed to when I connect to the RT-N66.

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    I'm not sure that I follow. The reason I believe that it is defective is because when I connect my computer to my old Asus RT-N16 it connects at gigabit speed. When I connect to the RT-N66u it does not do the same. Hope that helps. It does seem weird though.

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    I checked the pins and tried all the other ports. They all seem to connect at 100 Mbps so I think the router is defective. What sucks is that Fry's (where I purchased the item) has been sold out for some time now so I can't even exchange it for a new one. Thanks for the advice.

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    Didn't know you could do that. Also I think my ONT is somewhere outside so connecting it wouldn't be practical. But that still doesn't explain the issue I am having with the network not connecting at Gigabit speed. Thanks for the tip though.

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    Just a quick question. I purchased this router open box at Fry's. It came with the broken firmware and I flashed it to the latest one. I have been using it as an access point off my Verizon FIOS router. I have my computer connected to the router via wired connection. For some reason I...
