RT N66U Vs. R6300 Range...who wins?
Hi everyone,
I currently use an Asus RT N56U and it is an overall good modem. Not too many dropouts and the range is ok. I am having an issue with the range on the router not reaching our living room in a 2000sq ft home. I cannot get my phone to get online and the laptop bounces from 1-2 bars. I have a good offer from someone who wants to buy my router.
My next question is which router on the market has a significant better wifi range while still performing good enough for online gaming. My only requirements are to be able to place one device in DMZ and other than that, I need stellar wifi coverage. I am looking at the RT N66U, the Amped 20000, the Netgear R6300 and any other router that will give me that boost in coverage. I dont know how much different the 56u and 66u are in terms of wifi range, but what are your opinions on what would work for me. From my thinking is that the external antenna on the 66u will provide better range than the internal on the 56u, but I dont know anything about routers. Thanks Pete
