Hmm, decisions decisions, looks like it'd give the upcoming Linksys AC1900 a run for it's money too: http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t... Hopefully SNB will shed some light on who the king is... ;)
I recently got a couple of those too in the holiday sales, but no need to feel bad. Seems very likely this will be marketed as top of the line and priced accordingly, could easily be double what the AC66U was going for. More importantly, a lot of the value in these things (IMO anyway) comes from custom firmware, which add a lot of additional features and power. With a brand new chipset I'd expect significant delay in support from various custom firmware groups, and even in terms of 1st party Asus is notorious for 1.0 bugs (which to their credit they do continue to work to iron out over time). When it comes to networking equipment I don't mind not being an early adopter.
Don't you need MU-MIMO enabled clients to really be able to take advantage of it though? Otherwise you are still in the same situation where the clients are forcing a wait-ack bandwidth limitation on other clients.
MU-MIMO I think is great, when it finally hits pretty universally, but I feel like this is the very first baby step. Gotta start somewhere though.
Now all we need is some compatible adapters. Other than the one ASUS PCE-AC68 PCIe even 3x3 ac adapter selection is pretty much non-existent. Other than for a wireless bridge, what good is 4x4 at present?

Well that's taken the super-awesome sheen off my AC66U :Pjed22281 - Tuesday, January 14, 2014 - link
