This article continues our series of reviews of network equipment that supports the draft 802.11n standard. Today we are going to talk about the WL-500W router that represents a successor to the previously tested WL-500g Premium. We will see what the diff...

The WL-500W proved to be nothing else but the WL-500g Premium with the addition of Draft N. The firmware for each router is about the same quality. The functionality and hardware platform are the same, too. Yes, the WL-500W is good but it lacks new featur...
