- QoS? That? Well no IP, Port or packet disctinction tables?
- VLAN?
- several configurable SSID?

3,2Gbps wifi, that must have a 10Gb port right?

Also, given all the bandwidth it says can provide, could you please test, in AP mode, any of your transfer test with LST with 2 or 3 machines at the same time? 10x100MB Just to see how netgear handles it. Would be a great standard test to perform in the future given nowadays its easy to have 2 or 3 clients at the same time watching hd videos, backups, syncs, etc.

The only wifi stuff I've found that barely do what it promises is from ubiquiti networks.
Asus (consumer) almost does it and they work very hard in constant firmware improvement. RT-AC66U interface looks like 10 years beyond this "new" netgear product (and other routers, but this is the only one I can screen cap at the moment).

Does it really deserve a mention? From what I've seen in the review, IMHO, nope.
