ASUS Releases the WL-330NUL — the World’s Smallest Router

Helps
customers stay connected wherever they go with Ethernet, Wi-Fi and access point
modes plus multi-OS support, all in a pocket-sized USB device

 

Singapore (15 May,
2013) — designed to enable convenient and quick internet access for travelers,
the USB-based ASUS WL-330NUL integrates full capabilities in the smallest-sized
router produced to date. It was created specifically for customers who travel
frequently, especially those who use Ultrabooks, smartphones, and tablets to
get online. The WL-330NUL provides quick secure network setup and connection
sharing with other users. It works with multiple operating systems, including
Windows 8, Mac OS, and iOS. 

 

 

Most
compact all-in-one router

The WL-330NUL has been engineered to offer
fully-fledged router functionality in a miniaturized form factor. It operates
in multiple modes, including router, Ethernet, Wi-Fi hotspot, and access point.
Its flexibility and convenience allow easy internet service sharing across
several devices, regardless of whether only wired or wireless connectivity is
available. The WL-330NUL measures 6.5cm in length and weighs 17.5g, making it
as easy to carry and handle as a USB stick.

Account
sharing at no extra cost

With its router capabilities, the WL-330NUL allows
sharing a single connection on multiple devices without having to pay for
additional accounts or apply for new log-in information. For customers who
travel often and require connectivity on notebooks, tablets, smartphones, and
even desktops at once, easy sharing adds up to major savings plus provides good
quality connections that do not deteriorate when extra devices are added to
networks.

Designed
as an Ultrabook™ companion

The WL-330NUL pairs easily with Ultrabooks
via USB. As these often lack a wired networking port, the RJ-45 Ethernet port
on the WL-330NUL brings customers faster, more stable, and more secure wired
connections. All users have to do is pair it with their Ultrabook™ using a USB
cable, then connect the WL-330NUL to a wired internet source such as a modem or
directly to the wall using an Ethernet cable.

Secure
and easy setup

The WL-330NUL supports secure network
creation, maintaining confidentiality and ensuring data remains safe even if
shared across devices. The product works essentially setup-free, with one-click
network management and guest access control. Customers can get online almost
instantly while utilizing the friendly web-based interface and bundled software
for effortless access and connection sharing.

Multi-OS compatible and several ways to power up  

The WL-330NUL is
compatible with multiple Windows versions including Windows 8, as well as Mac
OS and iOS. It is therefore accessible to a wide range of devices, delivering
its benefits to a broader customer base. It has very minimal energy
requirements for full-functionality, and can be connected directly to the wall
via the bundled power adapter or receive power from any USB connection.
Customers can also pair it with mobile power banks for even greater
convenience.
