As we reviewed the ASUS RT-AC66U quite recently – which uses the exact same interface – we are only going to skim over it this time. For a more detailed look at the User Interface of these ASUS routers please look here.

After plugging in the RT-N66U and powering it up we then entered the IP address of the router and we were met with the ‘Quick Internet Setup’ pages.

After setting up the routers basic configuration (which only takes a few seconds) we were met with this screen. We do like that it is laid out logically while still containing a lot of options.

This page gives you access to all the wireless options, for both the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands.

You can also alter the LAN configuration on this page, allowing you to set-up your DHCP server and IPTV.

The RT-N66U only has two router modes (the RT-AC66U had three) – the Wireless Router Mode or Access Point mode, but this shouldn't compromise its performance too much.

Overall we were once again very impressed with the vast array of options and features under each menu tab, with it still being easy to use.
