I am new in all this stuff. I see arround a lot of routers model, now i have seen some wl-566gM models....

I was thinking to buy WL-500g Delux if this is good choice :).

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).

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....

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..
