Just a heads up we've been having odd grief here with wireless connections dropping out, not able to surf with phones etc.
Slow you know how it goes.
Had even tried the "68U to no avail.
Took 68U back.
Pulled out the '66U again.
No matter what was done it didn't get better.
Finally found was the hassle.
"Canon EOS Software Utility" was running process continually thru my computer and blocking up the router....AC66U.
You couldn't ping the router period! while this Canon process was running.
Yet ping'd fine when utility process disabled.
Changed the canon software so I believe so it has admin right only.
Alternately you can just uninstall it and reboot.
So just a heads up.
Now all phones here go like the dickens and surf fast.
We just couldn't figure how 2 routers top line could be that bad, just didn't make sense and turns out they weren't
It wasn't the router.:D
