This Asus RT-AC66R wireless-AC router uses 3 detachable antennas and dual 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz transmitters to deliver blazing-fast data transfer speeds up to 1300 Mbps, making it easy to surf the Web and rapidly stream, sync and share files.
I bought this router to use as both a gigabit switch and wifi access point. Having ATT Uverse at home, I'm limited to Wireless G and 100mbps LAN speeds. After the setup, I disabled ATT wifi and connect my devices to this. It definitely increased my wifi speeds and I can surf the net on ipad & MacBook much faster. Also, I plugged and external hard dive into the router, and can access those files anywhere in the house from my laptop. Not only does it work great, it looks great too!

WD - My Cloud 2TB External Hard Drive (NAS) - White
This 3TB WD My Cloud external network-attached storage device's Gigabit Ethernet interface allows connection to your existing network, so you can easily store and access files with compatible PC, Mac, mobile phones and tablets from anywhere in your home.
I'm giving this WD 3TB NAS Cloud Drive 5 stars because of its performance right now today. A few weeks ago after I bought it, I might have only given one star. The initial data transfer - from my pc to the NAS drive - took about 4 days. I do not have a gigabit router and my connection speed to transfer the data was limited. But I knew this before buying. I transferred about 500GB to the NAS drive. Then, after the transfer was complete - the drive was crawling and took forever to just view one photo or any other document. This is because the NAS drive scans all its data to categorize it (music, vids, photos, docs, etc.). That process took another day or so. But now, after the initial setup is all done, this drive is blazing fast. I can view it not only on my PC, but my Mac Book and my iphone/ipads from anywhere in the world. I love it.
