I found out about this issue while purchasing an AC spec router last year: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Netgear-R7000-Vs-Asus-RT-AC68U/td-p/442063/page/7 https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Netg... The Asus RT-AC68U did not have proper shielding on their USB 3.0 hub (at least in their launch hardware revision) which lead to interference.

Is there an easy way to test for this? I just bought an AC router (TP-LINK AC1900) and I had planned to use the USB port.

  I would assume running USB 3.0 read/write tests with radio on vs off would provide a good benchmark.
