Better signal range compared with N66u ?

Strange but I cannot find any difference between the RT-N66R and the RT-N66U. Am I missing something?

Interesting. I assume this page was not supposed to exist? The specs and features for this so-called RT-N66R seem to simply be for the standard RT-N66U.
It also would not make sense given they just released the AC66U recently.

Works w/ RT-N66U Firmware

I was able to load the latest Shibby TomatoUSB firmware for the RT-N66U onto my RT-N66R. Everything appears to be running just fine.

Tomato actually reports it as an RT-N66U now.
