Anthony,
TNX for the def. I'll back out and follow this thread some more. I do know that my router's WAN port is 1000Mbps, and, that all 4 of its' switch ports are likewise.. Fine. I accept that my router's throughput in my wired only use may be limited then by my FIOS connection to 50Mbps synchronous.

I do know that my remaining intra-LAN business does run at '1Gbps' tops client-to-client via my GBit switches. My slow-poke is my printer. It remains 100Mbps. I think I got it, but will follow this thread some more before I jump on the 'NEW Router' want list just yet. Should the RT-66U offer benefits to me in
a wired-only use, count me in!

Duncan,

I think that is total throughtput that router can handle (A gigabit router should mean 1000Mbps, definitely not possible over wirelss). I found this:

Throughput

Throughput is a measure of how fast data flows through the router. The test sends data from computer to computer, measures how much time it takes, and calculates the result in Mbps (Megabits per second).

So based on the numbers I seriously doubt it is wifi operation. I'm streaming blu-ray in here and I want all I can get all the time through my router. I frequently move big files over my network.

Anthony,
Can I suppose that this 'total throughput' value is stilted toward WIFI operation?

Like you, I sort of got disappointed when I see the current ASUS rated 1268.6 and
my own DLink rated 255.8.

But then, I only do wired network ops. And, my router's rated value is still 5x faster/greater than the 50Mbps speed for my FIOS connection. So, I guess my router is mostly loafing along
ATM.  Somehow I think I am missing something..... :)

Is there any word on when the new Asus will street? I'm going to wait for a review and user feedback before I buy.

I did hear that Netgear has some good networking stuff streeting too.

Yes, the 56U is too good to be true.  Amazing how Asus, a relatively
unknown networking company, has put out one of the best routers of 2011.
  They look to repeat this in 2012 also!!

Amazing!! Stinksys has really gone down the drain. My friend bought their
latest and greatest and it really blows donkey nards!!

I don't recall seeing a link to this here, so I'm posting it:

Pretty compelling...I didn't realize my Netgear 3700 was sucking so much hind tit! It's been rock stable over the past year even though the usb
sharing is too slow to use.
