We did warn you that TM's stock router is crap. Neither, I recommend AC68U. However, if you can only choose between both, AC66U should be better than AC59U.
That's why I post the replying again, hope that people like me will listen to you all advices from the beginning....
May I know the DDNS available in the AC66U is which services, this major problem now, I cannot create hostname for accessing outside back to my house? Besides, I also looking the Asus AX56U and AX3000, seems quite similar for both, but the AX3000 is a lot more expensive, do you know what is the reason?
This Netis only provide the Dyndns and TZO, I think both have to pay. I cannot use the NO-IP now...

Stick with RT-AC66U B1
Nobody needs 4x4 because nowadays, all devices only support 2x2
Even very high end gaming laptops still use 2x2
Remember to double check with the seller that it's the B1 version, not the old version as RT-AC66U has 2 versions. B1 is the latest version with dual core CPU
Ya, agreed with 2x2. Will take note if get the AC66U. Thanks.

@Yoooo
This. Some aren't aware the AC66u B1 is essentially an AC68u at a cheaper price. Both have the same cpu and ram and many other similarities.
Sure, Thanks.

Comparing to AC68u, what about the AX3000? their price is almost the same.. any advice? I am looking for more long terms
I think if similar price, better go for AX3000, since you said long terms.
I believe most hardware support AX wifi next year.

Cant you just pull a LAN cable from the new netis to upstairs?
then connect back to your old RT-N14UHP and use it as Access Point.
Then you will have awesome connection downstairs and upstairs
Will pull a LAN cable to upstairs now, is difficult and ugly. I think my mom will kick me out... Haha...
Currently I am using Aztech Homeplug HL129EP, can have the actual speed around 600Mbps (tested with NAS file copying speed). I have connect a Xiaomi 3G (AC1200) router at upstairs. this Asus RT-N14UHP although is stated 9dBi antenna, the signal strength and performance is slightly lower than this new gen Xiaomi 3G already.
Actually Ground floor router is main Wifi router (Netis), connected with TV, blueray player, NAS, Homeplug (link to 1st floor), Asus (set as AP) and for my parents to use (their activity is ground and 1st floor master bedroom). The Asus speed at ground floor is solid with around 40Mbps, while 1st floor is less than 10Mbps now.
The second router installed at 1st floor, (Set the Xiaomi 3G as AP), so I can use at Ground, 1st floor and 2nd floor(is half floor). This Xiaomi speed at ground floor (2.4G signal solid around 40Mbps, 5G (if got signal) around 60Mbps), 1st floor(2.4G solid 50Mbps, 5G solid 100Mbps), 2nd floor (2.4G solid 40Mbps, 5G will lost and auto connect back to 2.4G).
The above is tested with my 100Mbps Unifi.
