Smallest USB Wi-Fi Router Launched by ASUS

Whenever a company can rightfully claim to have developed the smallest or fastest or overall best device, the world takes note. ASUS should be feeling good right about now.

The company has launched the WL-330NUL Pocket Router, a USB-connected device that happens to be the smallest fully featured wireless router ever.

It combines a built-in 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi with an Ethernet port and a white shell.

One would be hard pressed to distinguish the product from a USB-connected adapter meant to pick up signals from a wall router.

True, having the Ethernet cable connected will raise questions, but still.

To use the router, it needs to only be connected to a PC USB port. The USB only provides the power, while the Ethernet cable does the other job. After that, any nearby Wi-Fi device can link to the web.
