Improving performance of RT-N66U... what are my options?

[alexbc]

See the great snb guides, for example http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wire...-band-wireless-ac3200-gigabit-router-reviewed the 87U (dog?) and AC-3200 clearly have wall mounting points.

I don't need anything more than 87U. Has the issues with that been resolved? The reviews are just not very good saying that 5GHz connections drop frequently.

Don't buy the AC87U without further research - the Quantenna stuff was leading edge technology when launched, but only used in the AC-87U, and not in the newer Asus range, and discussion seems to consume a disproportionate amount of bandwidth in the forums. I know my next router (after N66) will be a multi-core arm, but I do not yet have anything that needs AC, so will hang on as long as possible!

Thanks. Yes. I'm seeing a lot of discussions around issues with AC-87U. A perfect mid range router seems to be the 68U but that can't me mounted on the wall. The AC3200 and others are just overkill for me.
