Need a Very Small Wireless Router? The ASUS WL-330gE Delivers! - Computers - Hardware

There is a lot to consider when buying a small wireless router. If you don't know where to start check out the link above.

However, let us tell you, the ASUS WL-330gE delivers with reliability, functionality, and size. It's a great all around router.

This "deck of cards" size router weighs only 2.2oz. This makes it a great travel router. You will have no problems transporting this router with your luggage and it is easy to set up in any hotel room or client's office.

It has four modes of operation in one package: access point, ethernet adapter, gateway, and universal repeater.

This means you can use it with all your devices. It's amazingly stable with streaming video, gaming, iphones, ipads, printers and more. The wireless speed was not noticeably slower than running directly wired.

It also works great in a hotel setting. If you've paid for wireless in your room use the ASUS WL-330gE to let your roommates share the wifi and split the cost.

You can use it to make any Ethernet capable device wireless. If your printer has an Ethernet port hook up the ASUS WL-330gE and it now becomes wireless accessible anywhere within your network.

It has one 10/100 Ethernet port. It provides WEP and WPA security as well an SPI and NAT firewall.

There seem to be only two major drawbacks. The first is lack of quality documentation. However, the device is essentially plug-in-play so you may argue a manual is not really necessary. The second drawback are the bright blue lights. They are so bright in fact you may need put some tape over them if you plan on sleeping in the same room.

Overall the ASUS WL-330gE is well worth it's respectably low price.
