Rt-n65u?

[Flak]

Anyone have one? Haven't been able to find any reviews on it. I think my WNDR3700 is dieing, so was looking to replace it. Had an N66U in my cart when I noticed the N65U was available and $40 cheaper. LoL, I guess I was just out of the loop since the wndr3700 was working so well. Had no idea this came out last year... Which then changes my question... Based off price what would you guys get? This will be replacing an wndr3700v1 that's been running gargoyle. Desktops are all hardwired, laptops/phones are all 802.11n (though only 2 are 5ghz capable).

N56 - $107
N65 - $130
N66 - $170
AC66 - $200

So, no ideas? I figured this would be alright since it's only Asus routers. If this needs to be moved to the buying advice thread can someone move it there?


Thanks

I bought the N65U for $120, thanks.

Mine actually seems to be staying relatively cool to the touch. Though I may be returning it as I posted in the N56 and N66 forums.

Have had mine for a while. No heat issues. Very fast compared to my other router. The QoS was easy to install. I have not done a firmware update but plan on it. Handles 4 xbox's, direct TV 5 receievers, 3 cell phones, 3 ipod/ipad, nook,4 laptops and whatever else is hooked up to it with no problems. Zero Xbox live issues and a reduction of complaints from family regarding lag.

no usb 3.0 HDD hooked on the router by any chance?
