Asus USB-N11 - 802.11n, WPS, Linux/Mac Support

Setting a WiFi network has long been known as challenging, particularly for the uninitiated. One has possess at least some background knowledge of WiFi devices to make sense of what's going on. To ease the whole process, Wi-Fi Alliance came up with WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) that lets you configure a secure network via either of the 2 options: entering PIN from a sticker label on the device and push button config. in which users are prompted to press the WPS button on both router and adapter to connect. The latest Asus USB-N11 adapter adopts both security methods.

In addition to supporting WPS, the dongle is fully draft-n 2.0 compliant (max. 150Mbps) while backward compatible with 802.11b/g. What amazes us is that the Asus USB-N11 is also universally compatible with every operating systems, from Linux to Mac, Windows 2000, XP, Vista and even the least popular Vista 64-bit. We heard nothing yet on the pricing and availability, butwith its platform friendliness and security, this baby is as unique as it gets.
