ThinkComputers has published a review of the ASUS WL-500W Multi-functional Wireless Router here on their website. The ASUS WL-500W utilizes the latest 802.11n draft MIMO to achieve a supposed greater than 100 Mbps throughput speed.

Features of the ASUS WL-500W include (taken from the ASUS website):

  • Draft 802.11n compliant, fully compatible with 802.11b/g
  • Suitable for seamless multimedia stream
  • EZSetup for network security – Automatically configure SSID and WPA or WEP encryption
  • Plug-n’-Share hard drive function via USB 2.0
  • ASUS Download Master – Download anytime even when the PC is off or disconnected
  • Printer Server
  • WebCAM server
  • FTP server

Here’s the verdict from ThinkComputers:

I really like the WL-500W, in fact, I will probably replace my WHR-HP-G54 with it, provided DD-WRT supports it in a future release, as the ASUS stock firmware does not provide the amount of control I need. That, and it’s really ugly.
