- ASUS RT-N66U
- Netgear WNDR4500


Could anyone suggest what one would be better, or any better alternatives? I've read people have been having problems with the asus rt-n66u and VM, is this still the case?
I have the RT-N66U and I'm on the fastest speed and never had problems. I bought it when it first came out so paid a huge amount, but it was worth it.

Depending on your budget I would go for the lastest model.

Try '0' instead of '100' 100 is if your router is in modem mode.
