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://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtop...r=asc&start=15
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.

that's still for testers/developers I guess...Originally Posted by hggomes

Yup. What do you think about the 1GB => 256MB ?
Student Computer Engineer
well... I'm not certain.
Perhaps asus realized that 1GB is a bit of an overkill for a router with just 600MHz cpu... Yet 128 is just plain old RT-N16 style and they notched it up to 256MB.
imho 256MB is still quite a lot for a router. I'm running so much on my rt-n16 yet I only manage to fill up 128MB of ram with a little on the swap.

Yeah 256MB it's quite alot like you said but i think we all prefeer 1GB.well... I'm not certain.

Concerning the 600Mhz of the router, i just hope we can have a good improvement on the USB ports (transfer rate) over RT-N16, cause it's the same MIPS74K arquitecture, and i really don't know if 120MHZ are gonna make so much difference.
The router has 1GB RAM DDR2 according to ASUS, that's why im in doubt :-D

True, I'd say you should expect a nice 9-10MB/s transfer speed with samba3Yeah 256MB it's quite alot like you said but i think we all prefeer 1GB.

that's my guesstimate

thanks omega for posting a summary of the russian thread here
quite an exiting interface
can't wait tbh
Student Computer Engineer
Again a new look?
looks like 200-ish MB RAM is printed on the specs card.
also some older news I've read: http://translate.google.nl/translate...t-streamengine
I'm sort of... confused
they say the rt-n66u is not going to be released in europe because it won't stand out among the competition...
instead they will be building the rt-n57u for european markets with usb 3.0
why usb3.0? current routers hardly reach 10MB/s on some protocols

If you zoom in more, you can see that it can't be 200ish mb as there are only 3 characters. I don't think they would write down 200...200 what? First is a 2, then comes a G...then B/b. I believe this is actually 2GB of DDR2 ram.
Student Computer Engineer
wait a second... omega, in the Russian thread, you posted this: http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=237534&postcount=38
do you mean there is a stylish "black diamond" and a ROG gamers version of the rt-n66u?
So...
Maybe the black diamond version has only 256MB ram, and the hardcore ROG version 1GB?
or is google translate confusing me?
