Description:
Ideal for streaming high definition video, the Asus RT-AC51U Wireless Cable Router offers high transfer speeds, allowing you to form a perfectly connected home.
Speedy WiFi
Powered by a dual-core processor, the RT-AC51U allows you to stream HD video, take part in online gaming and download files in a flash. It includes dual band technology for reliable, uncluttered wireless connection.
The 2.4 GHz band can deliver up to 300 Mbps, whilst the 5 GHz band can deliver up to 433 Mbps. This means that you can take advantage of the 2.4 GHz band for simple internet tasks such as web browsing and file downloading, whilst the 5 GHz band is ideal for streaming in Full HD or online gaming. Broadcom TurboQAM technology helps to improve the router's performance, so you know you can rely on this device.
Signal range
You won't struggle to connect to your network thanks to Asus AiRadar technology. Whilst other wireless routers may have weaker signal, the RT-AC68U uses beamforming technology, high power amplification, and RF fine-tuning. Not only does this help to boost coverage throughout your home, but it also helps to keep your connection stable and speedy.
Fantastic connectivity
The RT-AC51U Wireless Router includes a USB 2.0 connection which make it perfect for transferring files, attaching USB devices or setting up a shared printer. There are also five Ethernet ports for connecting your wired devices, whether it's your Smart TV or your PC.
You'll be able to connect to your data wherever you go thanks to Asus AiCloud technology, which links to your home network. Access your home content from your iOS or Android smartphone, or through a web browser.
Download Master allows you to download files even when your PC is turned off, which means you'll always have access to everything you want.
Getting connected is easier than ever when you use the Asus RT-AC51U Wireless Router.

Edit: Originally pricematched by zero-stock Amazon, although that option was subsequently withdrawn when Currys raised its price.

Hie does this stand up against the n66u?
Would it be an upgrade or sideways move?

I have no idea - depends on your current router. The n66u is around £50 more so if you're on a budget (like me) then this looks like a steal. Of course the n66u is going to be better, but its also more than triple the price

The N66u is light years faster than this piece of cr*p.
I have both, one in my main home and the other on my holiday home and the ac51u is just awful. It's there only until I get a proper replacement for my N66u. At that stage, that's the Ac51u off to fleebay.

I already have the n66u. I was thinking, if this is better then I'd go for this.
Heat for the price

Curry's description goes off on a tangent by mentioning the RT-AC68U half way through the product description.

I noticed that too, not sure how they managed that one? Maybe copied from the official Asus site

N66U was once the flagship model but now getting older only supports N where this supports AC standard.
I would expect the N66U still to have better hardware, performance and features than this.
Ive got a N66U which is still going strong and wouldnt see this as an upgrade.

What would be the difference between N900 and AC750? I've ordered this model since my Superhub 3 is pretty lackluster in the range department.
Not really for people wanting the best performance, it's severely limited by a 100mbit WAN interface port https://www.asus.com/Networking/RTAC51U/specifications/ why would Asus do this?! If it supports speeds up to 300mbs etc the wan port is under specification ???
Older Rt-n66u and the newer ac 66 posted earlier better for people who want the fastest throughout on their router but this is fine for casual users, no idea why Asus would cripple the WAN RJ45 port on this model though... Crazy

Would this then limit my internet speeds if I connected this to my virgin Superhub? I only want to use WiFi and no wired connections. My current speed is 50Mb, would this limit my speed to 10?
