Re: [H] AC1900: Netgear R7000 (Nighthawk) vs Asus RT-AC68U
Hey, Does anyone on the list have one of these routers? If so, how is it working out? Bugs? Thanks. Anthony On 10/2/2013 2:27 PM, Anthony Q.

Both have broadcom chipsets, the netgear one can just run at a higher speed: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/32239-ac1900-first-look-netgear-r7000-a-asus-rt-ac68u On Wed, Oct 2, 2013 at 1:54 PM, Naushad Zulfiqar z00...@gmail.com wrote: If I'm not mistaken, the Asus can run custom firmware.

Thanks, Eli. Definitely going for the netgear one now...the faster usb 3.0 is significant.

If I'm not mistaken, the Asus can run custom firmware. Broadcom chipsets are the best.

Re: [H] AC1900: Netgear R7000 (Nighthawk) vs Asus RT-AC68U
Yeah, they both have a USB 3.0 ports (afaik), but the netgear has it on the front rather than at the back (there is a usb 2.0 port there). I think that is a funky design error.
