Review on ASUS USB-N13 Wireless-N USB Adapter with Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates - IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 by nh Bnh ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

Bought to use as an access point. Set up native software. The first attempt was unsuccessful (probably due to the fact that a lot of network settings were done in the system before this, some still fail). On the second try it worked great. About glitches: it seems that when you change any settings, the installed network key gets lost. You have to re-write it every time. But if you do not touch anything - everything is fine, it does not go astray. In general, the purchase is very satisfied. It is only strange that the price range is so wide. Speed ​​in g mode: ~2760kb/s per device and ~3030kb/s from device (connected to intel 4965agn). An excellent choice for those who have a computer constantly connected to the Internet, and have a desire to create a WiFi network at home, but do not want to buy a WiFi router (this is both more expensive and more difficult to set up).

Pros
  • 1. Native softinka makes it easy to make an access point out of the adapter (under windows xp this is especially true). 2. Ability to filter poppy addresses (white or black lists). This smooths out the 2nd disadvantage. 3. Does not load the processor (there was such a problem with the previous adapter from another company).
Cons
  • 1. Native software is buggy. 2. In access point mode, encryption is only WEP 64 or 128 bits. 3. The software is loaded only when you log in: it is inconvenient for the access point mode (however, it is solved by autologon (for example, through powertoys for windows xp), and in order not to keep the computer "open", you can put a lock shortcut in autoload).
