ASUS announces the launch of WL-520gU Wireless Router; Supports seamless Windows Vista Wireless LAN setup.

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, April 30, 2008 (XTVWorld.Com) -- In order to enable users with the ability to setup and configure wireless networks easily and without hassle, ASUS Technology Pvt. Ltd. has released the new WL-520gU Wireless Router. Built-in Windows Vista Wireless support with a user-friendly and secure setup adds to the WL-520gU's appeal and provides fast, efficient wireless LAN setups. Such a cutting-edge and user-friendly design has allowed this innovative product to win the prestigious Taiwan Symbol of Excellence 2007 award.

Simple and Secure Setup
The WL-520gU Wireless Router is simple enough to be set up in just minutes. Users just need to click the EZSetup button on the back of the router, launch the EZSetup Wizard from the PC and click the EZSetup icon, and the Wizard will automatically search and connect with the WL-520gU – it's that simple! Users can "Press & Click" to setup and protect their Wi-Fi network environment by utilizing the WL-520gU and its inherent security standards (WEP, WPA, WPA2).

Supporting Windows Connect Now Feature
Additionally, the WL-520gU works perfectly with Microsoft Vista™ and proudly sports Microsoft's "Work with Windows Vista" logo to allow users feel confident that it will work well with the newest Vista operating system. Working via the Windows Connect Now (WCN) feature, the WL-520gU can enable any PC running the Vista operating system to associate and join the Wi-Fi network of the router easily and securely. It also supports WCN-NET, WCN-UFD, LLTD: Topology Map and LLTD: QoSExtention and users can even add an Xbox Live into the network via a USB flash disk.

EZQoS – Bandwidth-On-Demand (BOD)
The WL-520gU is also able to prioritize your needs for Internet bandwidth. With Bandwidth-on-Demand, users can easily allocate bandwidth according to their individual needs by simply clicking on the buttons, such as voice or gaming and assign more or less bandwidth to streamline multiple network activities (FTP, Games, P2P) to work smoothly at the same time.

Share Printing Services Wirelessly
Another useful feature of the WL-520gU is the built-in printer server function called EZPrint Share. This feature allows users to "Plug-N-Share" by plugging USB printers into the WL-520gU and sharing those printers with everyone without the need to pay extra costs for the purchase of a printer server. The WL-520gU supports major brands such as Canon, HP, Epson and so on – providing users with easy wireless printer server sharing.

Speaking about the launch of this new router Mr. Altaf Ansari, Product Manager for Networking and Corporate Solutions, ASUS India said, "We at ASUS believe in constantly innovating and improving our product offerings to our customers and help them derive maximum value out of it. WL520gU is a solution beyond a conventional wireless router because of unique features like EZPrint Share and EZQoS which are very simple to setup with another feature EZConfig."
