What's difference between AC68 and AC66？ Just different driver version or have a different hardware chip?

I believe that the AC66 was incompatible with computers using haswell platform.

You want to buy the AC-68. The AC-66 does not work with newer motherboards. There is a conflict on the pci bus.

The AC66 did not support the Haswell processors using the Z87 chipset. The product is identical to the AC66 which would lead me to assume that it was a simple driver fix or something along those lines.

I think Asus had problems with the ac66 & Different Motherboards, I called Asus Support & they checked which motherboard was on my Pc, and told me to Purchase the Ac68. Check support.asus.com or Call @ 1-812-282-2787 or 1-888-678-3688, I get these numbers Mixed Up, but it`s 1 of them, Pretty good Improvement with the Ac68

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.

Different hardware, there was a known issue with the AC66 not working on Z87 chipsets as well and so the can out with this one to be both faster and to fix the incompatibility with the z87 chipset used in Haswell motherboards.

The AC68 has max total Speeds of 1900Mbps. The AC66 also has known compatibility issues with Haswell CPU's. The AC68 was released to fix the compatibility issues.Here is a forum that details the issues with the AC66:http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/wifi-ac-news-leak-from-asus.194665/

You need a processor that has a built in graphics. Like the A4, A6 or A8.Like this AMD Quad-Core A8-Series APU A8-6600K with Radeon HD 8570D (AD660KWOHLBOXThe processor you have is a straight CPU, where as the A4, A6 and A8 are classed as APUs.The processor you have will need a dedicated graphics card to go along with the board.

There is no difference. That's the same motherboard. I bought it less than a year ago and it works great. No issues yet.

Major difference i see on asus site under specifications is: ManagementUPnP, DLNA, IGMP v1/v2/v3, DNS Proxy, DHCP, NTP Client, DDNS, Port Triger, Universal Repeater, System Event Log which is mentioned in 68U but missing DLNA in 68R

I don't recall...but I bought mine a few months back and it worked immediately with the AMD A10-7850K chip. I wouldn't worry about compatibility at this point. The old product is most likely pushed through. GREAT MOBO.

I can't find any information on the existence of an A7 apu/cpu. The A10-7700k is a power hungry cpu and fits in FM2+ socket that needs to be cooled and probably can't be cooled enough inside a TV

I don't know if it supports this particular chip but it does support 1866. Upgrade the bios to the latest version. Set everything to DEFAULT SETTINGS. If you still get the bsod, try one chip at a time to determine which chip is giving you the problem. If you only have 1 chip, change slots.

The USB-N53 is a great wireless adapter. My wife uses it on her laptop to connect to our ASUS RT-N56U on the 5 ghz band. She gets great speed and reliable connection all the time. The only thing you should be aware of is that the USB-N53 does not support the upcoming AC standard like your AC68U does. I don't know if ASUS has any AC-ready adapters as of yet. 30-35 feet is not significant unless you have walls in between you and the router. 5ghz does not go through walls as well as 2.4ghz so take that into consideration when planning things out.

I used existing hardware and just swapped out the old for the new. It was basically plug and play. Just need to update the driver from Intel

For those who have problems with this features heres the thing you have to Select AC 97' or HD audio depending on the Case, newer cases almost always have HD while older use the ac 97 spec, as far as front panel on OEMs only if it follows the 8 pin keyed form factor (in my hp z800 the front headers work fine)

Yes. The A85X chipset on the motherboard will play perfectly with this Richland A6. Do not worry about "digital"; it's just saying the power coming from the PSU to the motherboard, gets turned into PWM power to the CPU- providing excellent stability and lifetime. In the end you won't notice a difference. Make sure and get DDR3 1600 or DDR3 1866 XMP; all DDR3 will work- but you want good memory to work with the APU's graphics (in the CPU).

i would say that would be a no from my understanding on how this is built...don't own it yet but i don't see how they could design it that way (different adapters and this is only one slot) Check out something called bytetec or whatever on newegg. It has Two different IDE if i remember. Not if you get it it has some funky order of operation to work. Like plug in driver than power than usb or driver usb power or something weird.

ddr3 1866 is standard, the A-10 series will run ddr3 2133.1866 is not out dated!

As I know the A8 has between 2.4 thru 2.9 Ghz rating and not 4.3 as you have related unless you are looking at extreme overclocking. Also, the HD graphics has a lower rating of 7550D and 6550D AMD graphics integrated into the processor. The A10 series graphics 7660HD graphics with 512MB DDR3 capability. If you want to really go for the gold then try checking out the A10-6800K APU. This is new to the market and even faster. It can max to 4.4 Ghz per core and has an even bigger graphics array. Hope this helps.

As i know, that is only different firmware and different installation. You won't even know which version you will get until you have the solid usb in front of you. Here is the information from dlink. http://12.130.207.50/products/revision.asp?productid=DWA-130 so far i only saw they have driver for 32bits and 64 bits, no A-E revision.

AC 97 is audio. Your motherboard will have a place for it. Some motherboards have three or four. Look up your motherboards documentation and they will have a diagram.
