Reviewed on March 18, 2008We 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.TAGS:ASUS, Network Address Translation, router, FTP server, LAN, webcam, server, wireless router, light-emitting diode, function, USB, operating system
Reviewed on June 27, 2008The HP Media Vault MV2120 is a two-bay NAS drive that novice networkers will find simple to set up and use. While it offers flexible expansion options with a free internal drive bay and two USB ports, the intrusive Media Vault software and lack of a print server dampen our enthusiasm a bit.TAGS:NAS, external hard drive, USB port, HP, hard drive, server, operating system
