good stuff:D
the downside is that a very small shipment will be available this month, and real shipment begins next month...

according to docter asus at least:

Hello koaschten,
the RT-N66U should be available in January. It is rumored that a small delivery will arrive mid-December (!). There are no details on the "RT-N76U" yet.

instead of radio frequencies, they should measure the USB-Speed :D

in that case, to keep both german and english thread synced a bit...:D
!gm asked der Doktor Asus(:D) what the speeds are:

http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community...31-post14.html

he says the micro sd card slot can handle SD high capacity cards up to 8GB. The router has to be opened up to access it, there's no way to access it from the outside.

I guess the speeds are pretty obvious...

In that case I hope there's no warranty seal:D

hehe thx bro ;)

but I'm unsatisfied with his answer...
SD cards and readers are specified in classes according to their maximum write speed.

The plan is to buy a UHS-I SDHC Card to gather faster access, than the provided USB-Transfer speeds. Especially for webservers, swapping etc.

The harddrive would only be needed to store media, not programs anymore. This would save energy and (depending of your HDD) noise. :D

If it will support Class 10 - the thing will still be ok...

Ok, thanks. I hope FW will be available soon too ;)

Do you think the router will consume 30W? I wanna think they have leave a big margin for the PSU, its a lot power to just one router.

hmm... well the cpu won't eat that much...
I guess it's mainly for usb devices, just to be sure.

or maybe it's because of those 2 super high power radios they have:D

the swedish user geraner, known for the unboxing video, shared his experiences with the webif.

It seems that there are bugs, if you change the language to english...

Thanks, the good part is that most of us will not use stock FW, so that's not a issue :D

seems like a lot of shops have routers in stock in the US.
just search with google shopping.

I'm not going to order tho, they have weird warrenty shizzle.
Standard 2 year European warranty sounds better to me:cool:

I will also wait some time..

look the dropping price in the first month, the RT-N56U was available (here in Germany)

JJ (someone from asus) is also reviewing the router:

Mind that JJ can be a little incorrect (telling a prettier story than the reality)
on technical stuff now and then... he's a bit of a marketing man I guess:D

Thanks. Ahahahahha "We can get 20mb/s Read and Write performance" (17m16s) I doubt it, maybe he is confusing with new Linksys E4200 V2 with Marvell CPU at 1.2GHZ :P

Either way that's a lie, or they've changed some stuff... perhaps a separate usb controller?:p

If they changed anything on the unit people who buy it would have 20mb/s benchmarks instead 11-15mb/s ;)

Router is the same for everyone, i guess...

I guess... but it could be, they've also removed the fan.
In the end, the 200-300mbit/s speeds of wireless are also a tiny bit exaggerated.:D

http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/forum...8&postcount=52 just sayin'
and this is not even EXT3! :D

I think he wanna to say 200-300MBIT :D

You can read my comment on the video, if you wanna reforce idea :P

Lets hope his statements about the "specialized internal power-design" @3:03 are correct - the main thing I care about this is what "specialized" means. It still is USB 2.0 certified, right?

Well actually wireless transmission rate and wireless throughput differ due to technical reasons. They are advertising the router with 450 MBit/s. Thats the max. transmission rate you can get with 3 streams. The real throughput will be around 180 MBit/s. Think of overhead and stuff...

If the wireless client can only handle two streams, you'll just get 300 MBit/s transmission rate and around 120 MBit/s throughput. :)

Do you agree?

specialized design probably means a better power supply, so that harddrives can run directly on the router.

Yes I know that it's theoretical speed, but 200-300mbit/s seem very high. I guess that it's possible if you combine the speeds of both 2.4 and 5.2GHz but they can't be connected to at the same time by most wireless clients. So you'll end up with a basic 100 to 200mbit/s depending on the signal strenght and noise.
On that site they're also quite optimistic about speeds;)

If i were you i wouldn't believe those kind of "benchmarks" at first sight, windows measures are always that way at the beginning it shows high transfers and then it starts dropping the transfer rate, and if you noticed those screen shoots were taken at beginning of transfer ;)

I can do the same with RT-N16, transfer start at more than 20mb/s and then it goes to 7mb/s, nothing compared ah? I would believe it if measured with teracopy for example. ;)

With this im not telling that is not true, what im saying is that probably it isn't accurate ;)

If those measures are correct than it means ftp and http transfer rates would be similar and that would be awesome, crossing fingers.

yeah, dunno... for me windows 7 first thinks it's low speed and then it increases...
what about the intel nas performance toolkit: http://www.intel.com/products/server...rf_Toolkit.htm ;)
ah well asus marketing team is running like an oiled machine anyway:D
