if you know Asus you know they release shitty firmware in the beginning (hence the bad reviews) BUT they'll eventually fix it..This is a great price for a just released router and over $100 cheaper than other retailers (price wont last imo and it might be a mix up on bestbuy's part between previous gen RT-AC5300 and this router)
Comparison - GT-AC5300 vs RT-AC5300
- GT-AC5300 VS RT-AC5300 has same footprint / thickness, and body.
- GT-AC5300 Antennas are taller VS RT-AC5300 Antennas
- GT=AC5300 Antennas are slimmer VS RT-AC5300 Antennas
- GT-AC5300 has 1GB RAM VS RT-AC5300 has 512MB RAM = This will help with the NAS Setup or when you are trasferring large files , e.g 70GB.
Pros:
1.8 Ghz Quad Core Processor
1GB RAM
8 Gig Ports.
2 X USB 3.0 Ports.
