Asus RT-N13U

$50.00 Released September, 2008

The Pros:Very low price point for a wireless-N router with FTP server capability. A USB hub can be used to add multiple unique USB peripherals simultaneously--for example, a printer and a hard drive. A connected HDD is recognized as an FTP server, allowing multiple users to access files simultaneously.

The Cons:Connected hard drives can ONLY be setup as FTP servers, not network drives. Cannot be used lying down, only vertically, unlike the majority of routers which allow for both placements.

The RT-N13U is a mid-range 802.11n wireless router from Asus. The device includes a USB port and built-in print server with automatic switching, allowing users on a wireless network to use a multifunction printer simultaneously.

The RT-N13U can also be used as a repeater or AP, meaning it can retransmit a wireless router's signal to extend coverage or connect to a wired router and make a wired network wireless. The device also supports simple FTP functionality, allowing users to configure FTP servers with included software. A built-in FTP/HTTP/bittorrent download client enables non-stop downloading, one of several network activities that can be prioritized using EZQoS bandwidth allocation.
