  <ProductDescription ID="1872685" LongDesc="The ASUS WL-500W Super Speed N multifunctional wireless router adopted the latest 802.11n draft to deliver high-speed data transfer and unparalleled interoperability between n-draft devices. It also incorporated Download Master and USB Pug-n’-Share features for convenient digital content downloads and sharing of printer, webcam and external hard drive functions.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Faster than Wired Connection&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;The WL-500W router adopted the latest wireless technology, 802.11n draft. With MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology, the WL-500W achieves speeds higher than 100Mbps, making it suitable for whole home multimedia streams. 802.11n draft products are fully compatible with legacy 802.11b/g devices.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Download Master – The Easy Way Download&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;Turn the WL-500W into a wireless storage device by connecting an external hard drive, and enjoy the convenience brought by Download Master. It is a unique technology found in ASUS wireless solutions that features several innovations to simplify the download process. For laptop users, simply set download priorities then disconnect the laptop, and let the WL-500W and Download Master take care of everything. At a remote location. The WL-500W also enables download queue setting via the Internet. When users return from home or office, the files they demanded will be neatly arranged in the external hard drive. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Plug-n'-Share&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;The WL-500W offers a host of USB Plug-n'-Share functions. Whether it’s hard drives, printers or webcams, just plug them in via the USB 2.0 ports to enable other devices in the network to share their functions. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Plug-n'-Share hard drive is especially worth highlight. It acts as a ftp server, which lets users backup data from their computers and use network neighborhood in Windows to browse external hard drive content. All these functions can be enjoyed without connecting the WL-500W to any computer systems."

    <Comment>We like the Asus WL-500W for its wealth of unique features and its strong signal at long range, but its short-range throughput is substandard and theres no Gigabit Ethernet support. This is a good choice only for advanced users who will take advantage...</Comment>
    <Good>Great range and signal penetration; integrated print, media, FTP, and Webcam servers; can support multiple USB devices simultaneously.</Good>
    <Bad>Bulky and impractical design; buggy Web interface; confusing instruction if youre trying to figure out the special USB features; throughput at close range could better; no Gigabit Ethernet.</Bad>
    <Bottomline>We like the Asus WL-500W for its wealth of unique features and its strong signal at long range, but its short-range throughput is substandard and theres no Gigabit Ethernet support. This is a good choice only for advanced users who will take advantage...</Bottomline>

    <Comment>This article continues our series of reviews of network equipment that supports the draft 802.11n standard. As you can guess from the device name, the ASUS WL-500W carries on the traditions of such popular products from ASUS as WL-500G Deluxe, WL-500g ...</Comment>
    <Good>USB 2.0 ports, Good results in tests, Big number of simultaneous connections, Highquality case design, Userfriendly webinterface, Fasteners for wallmounting, Excellent hardware foundation that allows for a considerable enhancement of the product’s f......</Good>
    <Bad>Combines Draft N with Fast Ethernet, No USB indicator, Small indicators, Stray light from the case, Nondetachable antennas, Low functionality of the Download Master</Bad>
    <Bottomline>The WL-500W proved to be nothing else but the WL-500g Premium with the addition of Draft N. The firmware for each router is about the same quality. The functionality and hardware platform are the same, too. Yes, the WL-500W is good but it lacks new fea...</Bottomline>

    <Comment>ASUS has long been known as a company to deliver high-quality products. Up to now, I havent had a personal bad experience with anything Ive had from them, so Ive been quite lucky. It wasnt until last November that I was even aware that they produc...</Comment>
    <Good>Very high-performance, Great styling, Multi-Function (Can plug in Webcam, HDD, Thumb Drive, Printer, etc), Windows setup works well,</Good>
    <Bad>Wireless proved difficult without using Windows installer, Admin panel is clunky and confusing overall</Bad>
    <Bottomline>So far, I havent really touched on any downsides of the router, because there are not that many, fortunately. There are a few though, which I will touch on now. First off, the admin panel to the router is far from being intuitive. Its ugly, clunky a...</Bottomline>

    <Comment>ASUS isnt just known for its fantastic motherboards and bare-bones laptops. It also produces a series of wireless devices, most notably the WL-500G, an 802.11g-compliant wireless router that has a built-in USB port. The router can be combined with an ...</Comment>
    <Good>Print server!, File server!, Aesthetically pleasing, Potential hackability</Good>
    <Bad>Help throughout router control panel sparse, Wireless link not as powerful/stable as it probably should be, The color scheme of the control panel looks like something from a funky HGTV special</Bad>
    <Bottomline>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 its really ugly. This router is ce...</Bottomline>
