Waiting for the wl-700gE (already available in Taiwan) might be worth it, depending on what you want to do with your "router". The wl-500gx (= Deluxe) is definately a good choice, if you get the chance to buy one (not in production any more).
What you need to buy is dependent on what functions you want.... Please tell us.
Well i dont know what functions i need. I need router :) and then what i can put on it is also good.
I need good router and to be able to put some firewall on it. I dont have "jet" wirelles things but are also planed.
I will be able to get WL-500g Delux in one week or so.
Dont know how much will be price for that WL-700gE, but also i need router in one week or so... :)
Thnx for replays
I don't know where you're living, but the WL700gE seems only to be available in Asia until now. If you need a router right now, then the WL-500g deluxe seems the best option to me.
If you want NAS functionality for your home, you can wait for the WL700gE.
As i am new in all this thing i dont know what "NAS" mean :(. Did search for this ASUS product but didnt find it.
I live in Europa, do you know how much cost wl-700gE is it big diference in price.
I think i will buy WL-500g Delux.(when i find them in shop, delivery is next week by all it shops...)
NAS means Network Attached Storage. If you don't need to have an 3.5 inch harddisk connected to your network then you can safely buy a WL-500g Deluxe. It will be cheaper, smaller and it is available in Europe.
NAS sound good but also this device is more expensiv then normal.
Is there any WL-500g Premium in Europe? What is diference between it and WL-500g Delux (then hdd inside)?
I think you should check out the specifications of the available Asus routers yourself: http://www.asus.com/products2.aspx?l1=12&l2=43
My guess is that you want a WL-500g Deluxe....
I cant find anymore WL-500gx routers, well 2 months i am searching for them. AS i see there is new one models one with hdd and without.....
WL-500g Premium <-- without hdd
WL-7** <-- with hdd
Now my question are the WL-500g Premium now recomended (and only awaible to buy and cheep as odl wl-500gx or .... )?
Thnx

WL500gP(remium) is the replacement SKU for the WL500gx
the WL700gE is however completely another sort of unit (other sized as well)
currently the WL700gE achieves an speed around 5-6Megabyte/sec from hdd: 5650
the WL500gP seems to achieve an speed around 2-3Megabyte/sec from hdd
so there is an significant difference..
