Conclusion

So, here’s a highly functional router for you, with good accessories, extensive setup options and support of advanced modern wireless protocols with their speed-boost extensions. The performance of the ASUS WL-500G Deluxe is overall high. The fact that other manufacturers of network equipment like Belkin, Buffalo Technology, Linksys have also declared support of Afterburner technology gives us hope for higher networking speeds with various equipment in the near future.

The router isn’t blameless, though. Its performance as of a file server is low, and the structure of the control software is not quite logical. They might also have enclosed a color rather than black-and-white web-cam!

But anyway, the ASUS WL-500G Deluxe is worth every cent of its current price which is about $110. For us, it lacks one feature only – an ADSL modem.
