Linksys WRT 3200 ACM router vs Asus RT-N66U N900

The Linksys WRT 3200 ACM router has done really well in a number of roundups conducted by sources that perform reliable hands-on testing, like Windows Central, Gear Patrol, and MakeUseOf - it ended up getting the "Ranked 1 out of 6" title from Windows Central, "Ranked 3 out of 4" from Gear Patrol, and "Ranked 2 out of 2" from MakeUseOf. That's high praise coming from reliable sources.

Taking a look at the Asus RT-N66U N900, it got featured in roundups from two reliable sources that conduct their own testing - TechSpot and CNET - but it fell short of earning a top spot in either.

We couldn't find any sources that tested both of these Wi-Fi Routers, so we only analyzed how they performed in reviews from different sites.

We first examined which sources rated each of these best and found that the Linksys WRT 3200 ACM router got its highest, 9.4, rating from Lifewire, while the Asus RT-N66U N900 earned its best, 8.8, score from TechSpot.

Lastly, we averaged out all of the reviews scores that we could find on these two products and compared them to other Wi-Fi Routers on the market. We learned that both of them performed far better than most of their competitors - the overall review average earned by Wi-Fi Routers being 7.4 out of 10, whereas the Linksys WRT 3200 ACM router and Asus RT-N66U N900 managed averages of 8.5 and 8.6 points, respectively.

Due to the difference in their prices, however, it's important to keep in mind that a direct Linksys WRT 3200 ACM router vs. Asus RT-N66U N900 comparison might not be entirely fair - some sources don't take value for money into account when assigning their scores and therefore have a tendency to rate more premium products better.
