ASUS debuts tiny USB sticksized wireless router, was hiding at CES

ASUS apparently revealed this adorable wireless router in the middle of CES, but it’s understandable, given the size of the thing, how it might have got lost in the cracks. Thankfully, the WL-330NUL USB pocket router has now resurfaced at Expansys and while it doesn’t have a price, you can now register your preorder for the first batch. The router houses a single ethernet port and support for both USB 3.0 and 2.0. Powered by the aforementioned port, the router supports 802.11 b/g/n 2.4 GHz WiFi and measures a meager 65mm in length. The release date is pegged for February 14th, just in time for that special someone — and their unforgivingly snug laptop bag.

Asus WL-330NUL Pocket Router Lives Up To Its Name

Posted in: Today's Chili

pocket router Asus WL 330NUL Pocket Router Lives Up To Its NameAt CES 2013, we did talk about at least one pocket-friendly router – be it in size or price point, but this time around, there is the Asus WL-330NUL Pocket Router that certainly looks as though it is going to be a worthy purchase for those who want a Wi-Fi router that is diminutive enough to snuggle in your pocket without missing a beat. In fact, it will also be powered when connected to a USB port, letting you use it plugged into your notebook without having to tote around an additional power cable. Nifty, to say the least.

Apart from that, the Asus WL-330NUL Pocket Router will also come with an Ethernet jack that enables you to plug in a cable from your modem or from a wired connection wherever you are, turning the small router into a device that lets you share the wired connection wirelessly with other devices – talk about an instant portable wireless hotspot! Tipping the scales at under an ounce, it will not be able to deliver uber strong signals, but for one or two users on the road, it ought to be sufficient.

TP-LINK Wireless N Mini Pocket Router

Posted in: Today's Chili

tplink router TP LINK Wireless N Mini Pocket Router[CES 2013] A router is a router, right? TP-LINK does not think so, which is why they have taken the opportunity to announce the Wireless N Mini Pocket Router, also known by its model number as the TL-WR810N. The Wireless N Mini Pocket Router will be one of the latest in a line of innovative portable wireless networking devices which intends to deliver robust wireless networking even when you are not seated comfortably behind your desk at home or at the office. We are talking about a theoretical 300Mbps wireless networking capability, although in real life, you would be unable to achieve such speeds as there are plenty of other factors to take into consideration.

It is nice to know that with the Wireless N Mini Pocket Router, there is no need to tote around an external power adapter whenever you travel, and it relies on default pre-encrypted security parameters in AP mode as an added measure of security. All you need to do is plug the device into a power socket, insert a home, office or hotel’s Ethernet cable into one of the device’s two 100Mbps ports, and you’re good to go. Heck, the Wireless N Mini Pocket Router also doubles up as a charger thanks to its USB port which lets you plug in other compatible devices to replenish their worn out batteries.

No idea on pricing, but it should hit the market sometime in the second quarter of the year. [Press Release]
