Having a good home network adds that little extra only a well setup PC can provide. In today's families, most members have their own computers. When one gets a new music album, sharing it over the network can be great. For example, it can be played on the living room sound system, while still hosted on a home office personal computer. Or, it can be the home server's duty to share all media files from a RAID-1 array so that all data is safe from a hardware failure. Also, such a setup can share a printer over the network, but for it to be accessible at any time, the server must remain turned on all day long. There are small printer servers which will get the job done, but once again it makes for another device that will most likely stay on all day long and contribute to the power bill.

The ASUS RT-N13U wireless router has a USB 2.0 port so that the printer can be connected to it, and available for printing 24/7, without that little extra device. In other words, the N13U gets both jobs done.

With its unique bandwidth management engine and the networking professional called Dr. Surf , the N13U looks to be an interesting unit. Let's take a closer look at it.
