The Asus WL-330N3G 6 in 1 Wireless N Router arrives in a plain black box with the product visible behind a plastic protective cover.
Inside, the bundle is surprisingly comprehensive. There is a power adapter, USB power cable (micro USB to 2 USB), ethernet cable (Cat 5e), and a really useful carrying case. Asus are covering all bases and we particularly like the option for taking power direct from the computer, which will prove invaluable in some remote situations.
The device itself is really tiny and is very easy to carry around. It can easily fit into a trouser or coat pocket. The device is cream/white with a four button LED readout top left, across from the ASUS brand name. There is a WPS button underneath which is used during the setup phase.
At the front of the device there is a full sized USB port which is used for direct connection to a 3G USB modem. There is a restore button on the reverse side.
Underneath is a sticker which highlights the default IP address and login information. This login information is wrong. It is ‘admin' for both not ‘asus' as listed on the sticker. We can't believe Asus missed this before sending the units to final production.
The images above depict the size of the product, barely much bigger than the 3G modem we use when we are on the move.
What a brilliant idea ! might pick one up when im paid and try and get it put onto expenses. Great for a hotel room.
Yeah, I like this a lot. I have several other devices I take with me, and to use wireless with them in a hotel room from a single wired connection would be useful. Great idea, never seen this done before.
Couldnt have came at a better time. I was in a hotel in Miami last week and it had a single connection for $10 a night ! I have a 3G card but with this device, having a whole network would be ideal.
Awesome. found it for $99 here.
Excellent idea, not sure i would use one, but if I travelled more it would be useful
I had another device from ASUS and the software was dire. I think they have a real problem with software. the fact they got the login info wrong on this concerns me. thats a huge problem. I can imagine their phone lines are crammed with ‘my device is broken!’
I am well impressed with this device. I travel with work a lot and I have a smartphone and a little player which all use the net. a small personal network in a hotel room would be brilliant.
I bought one on the 4th October 2011 and have not been able to make it work in the universal repeater mode till today. Sent a couple of emails to Asus tech support and it took them 1 week to get back to me (and apparently never bother to read my email properly) asking me to download and read the manual, which apparently provides no useful information on the issue I am facing.
When I tried to set up the device in a wireless repeater mode, and after entering the Network Key, the device will attempt to connect and after a long wait, it prompts “Your connection to the WL-330N3G is disconnected. Please check the IP
settings of your computer and the WL-330N3G.We recommend you to use ASUS Utility / Device Discovery and search IP of AP for enter setting page again”.
Anyone can help? I have given up on Asus.
Βienvenida! y agradecido!
