Need Recommendtion: N56U vs N66U

[hggomes]

I talk based on SDK6 tests made on four different ASUS routers (i have specified N66U not other devices) and it's working fine for me and alot better then previous versions, but SDK5 it's better in terms of coverage/range.

N66U, AC66U, AC68U, N18U are the devices here.

You only need to use old FW to use SDK5 drivers if you want stock or merlin FW, otherway you can have SDK5 with the latest Tomato Shibby FWs.

You only need to use old FW to use SDK5 drivers if you want stock or merlin FW, otherway you can have SDK5 with the latest Tomato Shibby FWs.

Tomato is now using 5.110 for SDK5 which is the driver that caused issues with some users and prompted Asus to go to SDK6 driver.

Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.35_4-sdk5 uses 5.100 driver which in my tests is the best driver (at least for me it is).

There were threads on linksysinfo.org about the 5.100.138.20 driver when Tomato used it and how good all users found it.

Not too much discussion about 5.110 though.

Wish Tomato would go back to 5.100.138.20 as that is the best for RT-N66U B1.
