What Others Say
Sporatic Performance
Small size and USB power supply were the selling points- appealing for travel with use in hotels an coffee shops. Unfortunately the product continues to fail to find networks, or the set up utility continues to fail to identify the device. Overall it's been a hugh pain. BE AWARE - Asus customer service is almost non-existant. Multiple messages have resulted in no reply. If you buy it you appear to be stuck with it - weather it works or not- because the manufacturer will most likely never call you back.

I would advise anyone considering buying any ASUS product to read this review prior to purchase. This is especially true if you are considering the purchase of the WL-330g portable wireless access point.
I purchased this portable wireless access point for use with travel. The product is supposed to come with a compact AC power adapter and efficient travel case for the access point and adapter. There are even pictures of the case and adapter on the product package. The case is supposed to have pockets sewn into it to accommodate the access point and adapter.
I was surprised to find that my case looked little like the case pictured on the package. It had only one pocket for ... Read More
Works for Apple Mac computers!
I had purchased after not being able to get the Apple Airport card to work on my wireless network. Not only does this work GREAT, but it was quick and easy to setup and pulls the full 54g from the edge of my network!
Don't waste your money on the Apple cards, this is the way to go!
Most flexible wireless device I've found
I can't express how much I like this device. For less than the cost of most WAPs or Wireless bridges, you can get the flexibility of doing either in a package the size of a deck of playing cards. Web based setup is simple and intuitive. (Hint: If you want to use it as a bridge, set it up as an AP first and change the IP address to something you're unlikely to conflict with on the road.)
Power on the road? No problem with its USB-power adapter; just run it off your laptop's USB port. The regular power adapter is small and light enough that you can bring it along, too, in the attractive carrying case.

Great Product!
I found the setup misleading. After a few attempts to get the AP into my favorites and fill in the necessary numbers it worked great. Oh yea remember to shut off your regular dialup! Not mentioned in the instructions. I wish the antenna was a little stronger, about 50 feet is the limit. I was able to set outside, look at the ocean, and access the net. Pretty cool!
