Which one of these routers are better?

Question

Which one of these routers are better in terms of performance and range and also reliablity.
The Asus RT AC-66U or Netgear AC1750 R6400.I am trying to decide which one of these would be better

Answer 1

The ASUS is probably the better router for wifi. However, If yo need to connect a USB3.0 device to the router then the Netgear has a 3.0 USB port. Useful for a remote drive connection.

Most distance reviews show the ASUS is faster and stronger further from the router.

So pick the one you like. They both are good solid boxes.

I have a couple of ASUS units in a commercial environment and they just work.

Answer 2

Both are solid routers. I would buy the cheaper of the two

Answer 3

The Asus is fasters in AC speeds
