The Asus WL-530g compact wireless router is a mid range router which does its job well. However unlike the usual routers, the WL-530 is extremely compact and sleek ( you can put it in your pocket and not know the difference ) and even boasts of decent ergonomics. Housed in a black body and an aluminum strip running round its middle, the WL-530g has dimensions like 2.9 x 4.4 x 2.9cm. Asus has also thrown in a full set of removable power connectors, to make life easier for the user.
The Asus WL-530g features four LAN ports and also sports an antenna hook-up and a WLAN port. It has 3 LEDs which indicate power, wireless LAN activity and Ethernet activity. ASUS claims a range of 60m (197ft) outdoors, 25m indoors. Not very impressive, but we shall let this pass. It has a decent user interface and the setup wizard would be well appreciated by beginners.
Other basic configurations include; DHCP server, NAT, UPnP, VPN pass-through and an SPI firewall, as well as WEP and WPA encryption, and MAC address filtering to control who gets to use the wireless link.
