New Asus RT-N66U Router

[jalyst]

How did you determine price?
And what makes you think it'll be most common in the EU?
I'd love to know what that damn button is!

[hggomes]

That was not what i ment, i was saying that will cost more money € in Europe, 200 dollars in US.

This is weird:

The port does not exist on the video :-D

[jalyst]

weird indeed

[jalyst]

So is this available soon?
I'd love to know how it compares directly to the e4200 & wndr4000.
Hopefully smallnetbuilder will do a review!

The weird thing here is you're reading "WL-N66U" where is written "RT-N66U" from the link you supplied

"Und schnellste Verbindungen beim Spielen im Netzwerk garantiert der Dual-Band-Gaming-Router ASUS RT-N66U."

Glasses? Or bad translation? ehehe

RT-N66U Kernel version is 2.6.23, EXT4 not official supported yet, it may work... ("EXT4 was released as a functionally complete and stable filesystem in Linux 2.6.28") according to:

http://svn.dd-wrt.com/changeset/17355

The "256MB" from RT-N66U are really weird but soon we will see, i guess that's not the final product yet with 1GB annouced.
