For a home with several N devices which would you recommend? the N66U or the AC56U?

I can tell you that I have around 8 devices on the wifi at once at my house, on the N66U and have no issues. I run some on the 5ghz signal and see 450mb/sec connection. 216mb/sec on the 2.4ghz. I'm very impressed with this router.

No, but not repeat the answers below, I bought the ea-n66u instead to add to my rt-ac66u running in repeater mode, works great ...also the ac router works so well, I get the same speeds on my repeater mode as I do on the ac router. I am waiting for 3 -9db extra long antennas and see what kind of reception I get. I have 68 DS even get 24 to 35 Meg's on my ipad 3 using this setup...not bad at all.

I have an AIR (R3) and R1. The AIR is fine in terms of wireless and the newest update with the additional features. The R1, since it wants to be hardwired to a network, is what I was hoping to make wireless. That's why I'll probably use a bridge.

The RT-AC56U router is supported. Ref; ( www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database ). Also read posts related to this router in the dd-wrt forum. Third party firmware supported: Asuswrt-Merlin, DD-WRT - ref;( wikidevi.com/wiki/ASUS_RT-AC56U )

Im not sure what you mean by "if i use 2 of these". Did you mean using one linksys router with the n66? Or two linksys routers? What are your needs specifically? like just how much range, what kind of obstacles? and how many cross-floor levels? suburban or city apartments? optimal multimedia steaming experience (using 5GHz band)? By itself, the n66 are only usb wifi adapters, not router or wifi repeaters ( although ASUS do offer a software AP which could make this adapter into an acess point via shared network acess). Out of the box for most people this will act as an adaptor will improve the wireless reception quality of whichever one device it's connected with. As with the software AP, the limitation is the computer that you connect with the n66 adaptor must be on in all times for the wireless network. Secondly and gerenerally speaking, although backward compatible, wireless n adapters (like the n66) nowadays will limit its range radius when not operating in N mode. Using the software AP along with the wrt54g will require this adapter to operate in G mode, which is not much better than another wrt54g. If you are asking about using two wrt54gs: Unless you already have two of them OR some very important legacy device that can't use Wireless N, do use two of them and setup a wireless bridge. If you don't have another one yet, just get one new Wireless N router, ASUS or Linksys, you will get at least twice the range with wireless N compared to G. (Theoretically 3 times the range on paper.) Sidenote : I'm currently using this adapter in wireless N 5GHz with a Linkysys EA3500 dual band wireless router. I got this adapter because i want to have a better wireless reception quality in the 5GHz band. 5GHz signals cant penatrate the walls as well as in 2.4GHz, so through three dry walls, about 50 meters from the router I get 4 to 5 bars on my Windows desktop and no drops ever since. 5GHz have less interference and is comparatively optimal for gaming and lag free (ish) multimedia streaming such as youtube and Hulu.

The n22 is what I chose as they as they are in my office. Essentially any amp would pair with them just fine in the 100w range, it all comes down to your preference on sound and use.

The AC66 is incompatible with haswell (the latest intel architecture) but the AC68 is fine. I have had both and both give significant speed and signal boosts (if you have an AC router). Get the AC68 as it is backwards compatible with everything.

I returned this router due to too many connectivity issues. I recommend the Asus RT-N56U. I has worked great.

I use the Lenovo n5901, it has been discontinued the next is the n5902. The n5901 works good close up because it is 2.4 ghz.wireless. If you need a lot of distance, more than 5 feet, go with a bluetooth connection.I had this laying around. I purchased it for my computer in the living room connected to my 46 inch tv and it was spotty because of the distance. I took it down in the garage to use on my cozy swan where I stand right in front of it. The n5902 is backlit and that will be much better than no backlight like my n5901. I think the n5902 is pretty cheap because it is an older model. I hope this helps.

If that's all than it's not worth the extra price. The LN37A550 costs less than the LN32A65. I might just look at the 37A550 instead.

Yes it should as it should just screw to the SMA port. Essentially they are both the same router except AC is supported by the ac66u model.

If you have a/c wireless connectivity, it should. Consult your smart TV (assume Samsung) supplier. Love Netgear; but prefer AC6200, as it is specifically a/c. Yet, AC600 can connect to 5G. If you employ any adapter be sure it is Netgear compatible.

This model is version 2...you should skip the Netgear 3700 as this is an "N" device and move on to the next generation "AC" standard.

I think it depends on 2 things. 1. If you intend to use parental controls, then I would say go with another router such as the N900 as it should be easier to set up 2. If you are not going to be connecting many wireless devices to it you can also go with a different router. I have over 25 devices connected to mine between PCs, tablets, TVs, chromecasts, phones etc. and with this number of devices I think it makes sense to have a router that is faster. If you only intend to connect a few devices to it, then the N900 would be fine.

I'm not a networking person and I don't know if 6a is something I've never heard of, but Cat6 is recommended I believe. It's what I use.

I have it on my N66, and I have noticed a decent but modest improvement in range, particularly on the 2.4 GHz band. The other factor that really comes into play is whether or not your devices have the power to transmit at the extended range, but I have gotten a better signal through a few walls, and electrical interference on tablets, laptops, and gaming consoles. Truly just plug-and-play.

I don't have either, but from a direct look at the specs, there's a few differences. The AC600 is USB 2, while the AC1200 is USB 3. USB 3 supports much higher data rates and is probably needed to maximize the full network bandwidth potential of a solid 802.11 AC router. The AC1200 spec sheet also has a line about supporting "both 802.11 AC and 802.11 N", and the AC 600 doesn't have that line, so I'm guessing the AC1200 has dual-radios and can support a wider variety of configurations.
