Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Broadband Gaming Router (900Mbps)

FEATURES

The new Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight Dual-Band Wireless Gaming Router is the next generation of Ultra-fast routers for lag-free Online Gaming and media streaming!
Featuring the latest Wireless Dual-Band technology, the Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight brings to the fore a new generation of super-fast connectivity with up to 450Mbps per band simultaneously,
it works in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, and supports up to a massive 300,000 concurrent data sessions! Approximately 20 times the capacity of mainstream routers!
Additionally the Four (4) Ethernet ports provide Gigabit connectivity and an additional USB port can be used to connect external USB devices such as printers or USB hard drives.

Key Features
  • Buil-in 4-port 10/100/1000 Gigabit switch for fast wired connectivity.
  • Simultaneous dual-band performance prevents interference and offers an extra channel to ensure completion of all your bandwidth-intensive applications.
  • With three spatial streams using MIMO technology, the Router achieves a maximum theoretical throughput of up to 450Mbps
    (900Mbps combined) up to 50% faster in speed and 60% increase in range over standard 300Mbps wireless 802.11N.
  • USB Share Port allows you to attach a USB storage device-such as an external hard drive, digital camera or USB flash drive
    directly to the Router, giving any network-connected user access to documents, videos and photos on the storage drive.
  • Wi-Fi Protected Setup Button makes adding a new device to your network simple. Just press a button and your wireless device
    will automatically receive your network security information and securely configure itself.

Optimal Wired, Wireless Speeds and Coverage

With an integrated Dual-Band 802.11n Wireless Access Point, the router delivers up to 6 times speeds and 3 times wireless coverage of an 802.11b/g network device.
It supports a data rates of up to 450 Mbps per stream and is also compatible with 802.11b/g equipment.
The Wireless Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) and Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) features enhance the level of transmission security and access control over Wireless LAN.

The Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight also supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard, allowing users to establish a secure wireless network by simply pushing a button.

1GB of DDR2 RAM! Why?

Best of all, the Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight has a generous 1GB of RAM, another likely candidate for best in class. Why does this matter?
Because of how TCP/IP works, or in the case of small routers, doesn’t work. TCP/IP takes up a bit of memory for each open socket,
so the more you have open, the more memory you need. When a connection is released, the memory frees up slowly.

Standard Warranty: 2-Years

Судя по конференции товарисЧи с dd-wrt уже имеют на руках тестовый образец платы данного устройства...
Ну кое-что слышно ... Должен уже скоро появиться в продаже (3 квартал) ...
Только пока непонятно, сколько у него будет оперативной памяти на борту ...

The "256MB" from RT-N66U are really weird but soon we will see.

the original asus firmware doesnt seem to be finished on it, but dd-wrt works already on it. so its supported with latest nightly builds.
just fixing some issues right now, but the main firmware boots and wireless works. the cpu has 600 mhz, 128 mb ram, 32 mb flash
