My Edimax came today. Took me a minute to do an ipconfig to find the router's IP address, and then a quick google search to find the default password -- information that should be provided in the manual, but isn't.
After that, setting it up took no time at all and it works like a charm. A very, very cool device -- and so cute!

Note: You can click “Connect to the Internet manually” to log in the user interface. Input “admin” in the “User name” field and “1234” in the “Password” field when prompted.

My finalists are:
Asus WL-330NUL: http://www.asus.com/News/4eBKfIF7GE2NGIxP
Edimax nano: http://www.edimax.com/en/produce_det...id=3&pl2_id=18
Edimax BR-6258nL: http://www.edimax.com/en/produce_det...id=3&pl2_id=18
A strong merit of the Asus the Edimax BR-6258nL is that they come with a built-in usb cable and require only a single usb port for power.
Are all three equivalent in terms of the operating modes and features they offer?.
I'm aware the Edimax nano has two ethernet ports, but this is not important for me.
TIA

Thanks. Can you re-post the link?
Also, does it cover only the Edimax nano?
Any inputs regarding the Asus the Edimax BR-6258nL?
TIA
