Great specs. Soon we'll be able to transfer at a throughput rate of 1Gbps wirelessly. Just keep upping the MIMO streams and QAM. Technically, the technology that allows Gbps throughput exists today (802.11ad), but the range makes it useless for normal use.

Now we need 3x3 client to pair with the router

Do you guys know if we can use some other DDNS besides dyndns with this router with its stock firmware?
Also, is there an option to automatically power down/slow spinning of an external hard drive connected to the usb 3.0 when nothing is trying to access it?
Has anyone used aicloud and do you like it? Can I automatically and remotely backup everything from my mobile devices onto my router connected hard drive through it?
If anyone can answer even one of these questions I'd be happy. I'm excited for this router. -

The RT-AC68U will in all probability be supported in future Merlin firmware updates.
