I am in the market to upgrade my Asus RT-N66U router to the AC68u model but ran across the info that there is this new AC68P version at BestBuy stores.
I found a review here by Tim:
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wire...-band-wireless-ac1900-gigabit-router-reviewed
But I have a question now that Tim mentions about a hardware update that might be coming to the AC68P about the 5Ghz radio section being improved.
The specific quoute from Tim's review above, says this:
"I didn't expect my review sample had the BCM43602 and visual inspection confirmed this. I've asked ASUS when this change will be rolled into the 68P and will update when I hear back."
So I now am wondering does this mean I should wait before buying the first batch of these AC68P routers until Asus announces and releases the next upgraded AC68P version with the improved hardware? Tim do you have any feel for when Asus will get back to you with an answer (time frame for release)? What will the new model number designation be?
Thanks for any more insight into this.
