Opinions on the Asus WL500W?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Rating is around 8 out of 10. CNET also has charts with maximum throughput tests using Ixia IxChariot.
"The good:
Great range and signal penetration; integrated print, media, FTP, and Webcam servers; can support multiple USB devices simultaneously.
The bad:
Bulky and impractical design; buggy Web interface; confusing instruction if you're trying to figure out the special USB features; throughput at close range could better; no Gigabit Ethernet.
The bottom line:
We like the Asus WL-500W for its wealth of unique features and its strong signal at long range, but its short-range throughput is substandard and there's no Gigabit Ethernet support. This is a good choice only for advanced users who will take advantage of some of router's USB features and aren't afraid to wade into those waters without help."
Xbitlabs also has a thorough testing of this router.
