I've got an N66U and I'm on the verge of returning it. I have a Linksys WMP600N PCI card and also the USB dongle variant (both are dual band). I'm running Windows 7.
I experience bad spikes on the N66U using both stock and Merlin's firmware with these cards (playing SWTOR, for example, lag will jump to 6 seconds and continue rising until I disconnect). I've tried several different drivers (for the WMP600N, a driver from 2009, 2012, and 2013), yet the issue remains to some degree. 5GHz seems worse than the 2.4GHz band.
I've reverted back to the built in Wifi on my ISP cable modem and every thing seems okay so far (but needs further testing). Before the Asus, I had a Linksys E1000 that worked flawlessly until the radio died.
Those with Windows 7, what card and drivers are you using successfully with the N66U or other Asus routers?
