Asus launched the world smallest router last week measuring 6.5cm long and weighing 17.5g, the [Asus WL-330NUL](https://www.asus.com/Networking/WL330NUL/). It is available since 20th May 2013 for **S$59**.

The Asus WL-330NUL is a 4-in-1 router, it acts like a router, USB Ethernet adapter, Wireless adapter, and supports hot spot sharing!

Too bad there is no built-in battery for it and it does not support gigabit connection due to the speed limitations of USB 2. It only supports the older 2.4GHz and not the newer 5.GHz.

## Router

Just connect an Ethernet cable and instantly create a secure wireless network environment for all your devices. In addition, the WL-330NUL can also manage several network users at once, with different access privileges. ## Hot Spot Sharing

The WL-330NUL features an easy to use and versatile hot spot mode. Wherever power and wireless connectivity are available, it allows sharing a single account on multiple devices. ## USB Ethernet Adapter

As ultrabooks usually lack an RJ-45 wired LAN port and only support Wi-Fi, the WL-330NUL has been specially designed for business travelers and users of ultrabooks. Simply connect a network cable to your ultrabook via USB port, and the WL-330NUL provides stable and reliable online access anywhere. ## Wireless Adapter

The WL-330NUL is also the perfect backup should your integrated wireless hardware experience any issues. To get Wi-Fi access, simply plug it to your notebook via USB. This also makes the WL-330NUL perfect for desktops, which traditionally lack Wi-Fi capabilities and limit you to wired connections.
