ASUS RT-AC66U has a rather poor 2.4 GHz coverage, but if you are only using 5 GHz, it is ok. The newer model RT-AC68U improved on the 2.4 GHz range, but the Netgear 7000 has the best coverage.

All these routers are in the range of $300, I would think they are considered high range routers.

One cool feature I like about RT-AC68U is that the stock firmware can support dual WAN, though I have not tried this yet.

yea, i place the router on my living room and using the 5ghz channel, but i think because my laptop is the older model and the maximum speed can go only up to 100mbs even though i got the 300mbs pacakge

I use custom firmware ddwrt, even tried double the transmission power, but the range is still quite bad. I wonder if I had burn the router by setting the power too high.
