I have a router RT – N56U and ADSL modem . I planned to purchase just the model DSL – AC68U , but to the lack of a clear performance improvement (small % ) there is no need to spend money unnecessarily . Very good review and comparison of the two models. One comparison that I could find on the Web. It is a pity that there is no functional test parts of ADSL.
I’m confused by your results with SpeedTtest. It does test your internet speed, right? Doesn’t your ISP limit download/upload speeds? I get about 34 Mbps DL with my upgraded plan which is way way slower than my LAN. Do you have unlimited speeds with your ISP? What am I missing? I have the RT-AC68P
Thanks.
There is no wireless network trnasfert test from one PC to other in this review???. That woud be a serious reason why I would purchase this expensive router, not the wire transfert speed that is the same with most cheap new router with Gigabit wired transfert rate
Purchased this unit in Nov. 2014. I am still trying to discover all the features that it has. Trying to convince the other users in the house that this unit will improve their ability to use the web…

Hi, for your house size, one router is sufficient enough to cover your whole area?
Yes, it is enough.

We have a 1Gbps Internet connection.

I was just wondering is there much difference in the speed of the wired connection compared to a regular standard router?
