The ASUS RT-N66U looks almost identical to the RT-AC66U we reviewed a few weeks back, as both feature this black diamond pattern on the top of the device.

The ASUS RT-N66U also features the same array of status LED's at the bottom of the device.

The RT-N66U is quite a sleek router and doesn't take up much space. There is also a healthy amount of ventilation around the sides.

On the rear of the device we can see three threads for attaching the antenna, as well as a power socket, 2 x USB 2.0 ports, and 5 x RJ-45 ports. All of these Ethernet ports are of course Gigabit capable.

The bottom of the device features more ventilation and two crosses – which is where the stand slots into.

From previous experience we know that we like this stand as it allows you to see the LED's clearly, as well giving you easy access to the ports at the rear – it also makes it straightforward to keep the cables tidy. A simple addition that is actually very functional.

The three antenna are quite long and should help the RT-N66U send strong signals from a variety of positions.
