So I ordered the AC68U, and now I have the R7000. One of these is going back. I just plugged in the R7000 a couple hours ago.
First impressions are that this thing is MUCH larger than the AC68U. Much heavier too.
One odd thing that i've noticed is that no matter how many times I unplug and replug in my cable modem, now that I've switched to the R7000, speedtest.net defaults to Arkansas as my location to test speed from, even though I'm in San Francisco. It typically picks San Jose or something like that. I'll jump back to the AC68U tomorrow to see if it's totally Comcast related or if it's some kind of odd issue.
Other than that, I had originally been set on the AC68U, but the higher CPU of the R7000 drew me in... I also like that it "supports" DD-WRT, even though both can take the firmware.
Which should I keep!? WIth return policies, I have about a week to decide. I'll pay a restocking fee either way.
