My trusty RT-N16 just died 2 months out of warranty, so it's time to replace it.
My first thought was the RT-N66, but before rushing out and buying one, I had a look at the current Asus lineup and the AC-68 doesn't cost much more than the N66 at Amazon UK at the moment. Looking at the specs, the USB 3 port of The AC68 would be useful, as I have an external USB 3.0 2.5" HDD that I'd like to connect and share on the network. However, I currently only have 'N' devices, and was wondering if the AC68 does 'N' wifi as well as the N66?
Are there any known issues with either router? I saw a mention in another thread of there being some sort of issue with the USB 3 port on the AC-68, but no details were specified; could someone please elaborate on this?
Finally, I've just seen a couple of threads about a new version of the AC-68, called the AC-68P, which apparently has a faster CPU and better wireless range, but it doesn't appear to be available in the UK yet. Should I hold off and wait for this new version to become available?
Thanks in advance ☺
