Linksys EA4500 vs Asus RT-N66U

[huwwatkins]

Hi
Hi - Im new to the forum but have been a lurker for a while, Im looking for a little help decding on a router. I've narrowed it down to one of the two in the title and I'm on the verge of buying. Currently the Linksys is £75 and the Asus £110. I've had a good look through the forums and it seems most people prefer the Asus, but is it £35 better than the Linksys?


Thanks

If you don't need sophisticated features, I'd buy something in the USD$75 area.

$75 is about £45 which wont buy much of a router here. I am looking for a good router for a ~80Mbps vdsl2 line hence the higher performing options mentioned above. Also it must do 5ghz.

I had the them both having recently replaced the e4500 with the ASUS. I find the coverage on both wireless bands far better with the ASUS. Plus the setup was FAR easier. Easily worth the extra dollars IMHO.
