68U is definitively better than the 66U, and 86U is definitively better than 68U. You should probably upgrade to a newer Asus Router, but it depends on your set-up.

The range on this is very good. But your R6700 shouldn't be bad. If you are getting 300+ over wifi, don't bother. That's as good as wifi can be, regardless of router.

They were talking about n66u vs ac68u. N66 isn't supported by Merlin anymore. Ac68u has dual core 800mhz and 66 is single core 600mhz. 68u is objectively better.

Thats wrong. High end AC devices can push well into 800mbps+ but this depends on distance, client hardware and etc.
