This router is Vista ready, and includes innovative features like AiDisk for easy file sharing, EZQos bandwidth management, and UPnP media streaming. The WL-500gP V2 has passed the “Works with Vista” certificate, and ensures fast and reliable wireless connectivity suitable for the demands of high-quality VoIP, video and online gaming functions.

The WL-500gP V2 supports the UPnP protocol and automatically searches and recognizes all digital media players in the network. This makes it easy to share music and video files stored through the WL-500gP V2 to any WiFi device via smooth streaming from the external hard drive to the digital media players.
The most unique function for WL-500gP V2 is AiDisk. AiDisk combines simple FTP settings with the ASUS DDNS service to share files with friends easily no matter when and where the user is. By simply utilizing the WL-500gP V2 with a USB hard disk, users will be able to create a mini FTP server at home and only requires them to setup an account and password and select the file they want to share.
Stay tuned for local availability and pricing. Read on for more.
The AiDisk has various functions that can help users save time and
effort. Firstly, they can use the WL-500gP V2 as a way to transfer files stored
on the external HDD to their notebooks / PCs. With this feature, users can be
at a cafe, in a hotel or any other hotspot, and still access files stored at
home. By utilizing AiDisk, they can download files to their notebooks by typing
in their FTP address and access their files stored in that FTP. They can even
log into AiDisk via PDA or smart phones when connecting to Internet.
Conversely, backing up important files to the home disk can be done
instantly. Simply use AiDisk, and data like photos and music files can be
easily backed up from the notebook, mobile phone, or another desktop to the
WL-500gP V2 HDD.
Last but not least, with AiDisk, sharing files with friends can be done
at home with very low power consumption, a small infrastructure cost, and
persistently run 24/7. Friends and family members can download and upload files
from the user’s home disk no matter where or when the are at.
The WL-500gP V2 is also able to prioritize your needs for Internet
bandwidth. With Bandwidth-on-Demand, users can easily allocate bandwidth
according to their individual needs by simply clicking on the buttons, such as
voice or gaming, and assign more or less bandwidth to streamline streamlines
multiple network activities (FTP, Games, P2P) to work smoothly at the same
time.
