ASUS RT-N66U Dual-band Gigabit Router with Wireless-N900
Yes! I got the ASUS RT-N66U Dual-band Wireless-N900 Gigabit router! The previous release (ASUS RT-N56U) was a hit locally so I thought I might give this RT-N66U a try. And besides, the design looks really sleek and will definitely blend well with my furnitures. People who do not know what the RT-N66U is will just treat it as an ornament (I hope).
