[Review] Asus RT-AC68U Dual-band Wireless-AC1900 Gigabit Router

ASUS RT-AC68U (1900) - Unbox

The Good: The Asus RT-AC68U Dual-band Wireless-AC1900 Gigabit Router features powerful hardware, faster Wi-Fi technology, and useful features. The router delivers in all categories. Comes with different types of electrical plugs for different regions.

The Bad: Expensive router, not wall-mountable, and requires 802.11ac to fully benefit it. The fastest 802.11n ac adapter available right now is only 867Mbps

The Bottom Line: Recommended for people on 500Mbps fibre connection or slower (if you are only going to use it for wireless connectivity).


Tools used/performed: 
Hardware
Starhub MaxInfinity 150Mbps (will retest again when I have a faster connectivity)
Asus RT-AC68U (Firmware: 3.0.0.4.376_3626)
Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 (Driver: 16.5.3.6)

Security: WPA2/AES
Bandwidth: 2.4Ghz (20/40Mhz), 5Ghz (20/40/80Mhz)
Distance (router and adapter): 2meters (no line of sight)
WAN
2.4Ghz - 100Mbps (Down / Up)
AC 5Ghz - 150Mbps (Down / Up)
