Hi all,
With my new gigabit internet they gave me a Zyxel T-50 but I already have the Asus AC66u
ISP Router: VMG8825-T50
https://service-provider.zyxel.com/global/en/products/dsl-cpes/vdsl/residential-iads/vmg8825-t50k
It has a EcoNet CPU, dual core 2x 900mhz

Asus AC66U
https://www.asus.com/nl/Networking-IoT-Servers/WiFi-Routers/ASUS-WiFi-Routers/RTAC66U/
Runs on a Dual core 2x 600mhz Broadcom chip
https://www.broadcom.com/products/wireless/wireless-lan-infrastructure/bcm4706
On the naked eye the EcoNet is 300mhz faster but different chips can be less or more efficient. Zyxels only talks a bit about the 802.11ac wave 2 tech that this one carries, no idea about the other technology.
Now, the questions:
- would the lack of functionality on the T-50 mean a smaller attack surface?
- can I achieve the same with the Johns Fork-AC66u? I don't use any functions actually.
- Hardware-wise, which one is actually better?
