“Please explain the guest network options across routers. I'm interested in this router but their are 3 different ones with different options specs that look to be the same. I'm interested in the ability to create more than 4 guest networks at a time all with their own ids and passwords. I heard the RT N66U does this. How about RT-n66R, RT-AC66U?”

Specifically speaking about the RT-N66R: You can create three guest networks on 2.5 GHz and three guest networks on 5 Ghz. This is a total of six, but only three per band. You still have the one primary network on each band, which makes a total of eight networks. All network SSIDs are individually configured with passwords, etc.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes all 3 will, The RT-N66U and N66R are the same router, the R designates it as a Best Buy Retail Store Item. Asus does this for tracking. The AC66U is based on 802.11ac, the newest standard in wireless, I would not purchase this standard yet as the items that use it are very few, Wireless N will be around for a while, there are still items being released today that are on the G standard!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The AC66U can create 3 guest networks on two bands ( 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ), each one can have it owns SSID and access control off to your intranet, there aren't a "lot" of setting per network though, you can set the time allowed, access to the internet, authentication method and key etc..
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All three have similar UI and all have the ability to add guest networks. Please note that you are limited to 3 guest networks per band (2.4 and 5ghz) so there is a total of 6, but separated by 3 and 3. You can create separate SSIDs and passwords for each network as you wish.
