Asus may not be the first name that pops to mind when thinking aboutWLAN routers, but the company is definitely doing its best to competewith the likes of Netgear, D-Link and Linksys. The RT-N13U is anall-in-one router that just so happens to do more than provide wirelessInternet access. The stylish device doubles as a shared print server,giving you the ability to print out your receipts and such from thecomfort of your couch, bed, etc.

Even better, the device fully supports 24/7 downloads even when thehost PC is turned off, which should be great for those who tend to haveloads of P2P shares going around the clock. Asus has equipped therouter with its EZ UI for easy management of printers and othernetworked resources, giving owners access to a suite of connectivitysolutions including EZ All-in-One Printer, QIS, Ai Disk, Dr. Surf, EZQoS, and Network Map. EZ All-in-One Printer allows multiple users to share printers and scanners without a dedicated server managing the process. Unfortunately Asus has failed to dole out a price or release just yet, but we suspect both of those will be coming soon.

No internal hard-drive or USB port in the specs: where does it save these 24/7 downloads and what is the capacity?

People read the stupidest things.  Like this sig, for instance.

Question #2: Are you able to replace Asus's firmware with any of the popular open varieties that we run on Linksys and Netgear products?

Those are some interesting questions 3vi1.  I was trying to come up with a way in my head on how it could do the downloading using your computer hard drive, but regardless you need the computer on, aswell as software to find the downloads and so on.  I'm also assuming that it would also be 24/7 uploading as well, or am I wrong on that?
