ASUS USB-N11 Wireless N USB adapter ships with EZLink

We'll admit, ASUS has us scratching our noggins on this one. Just last month, the outfit coaxed us into believing that EZLink was simply its way of saying DisplayLink. Now, however, it seems that it's a blanket term being used anytime ASUS "simplifies" something. Whatever the case may be, the outfit has introduced its newest Wireless N USB adapter, the USB-N11. Sporting integrated support for Mac, Windows and Linux-based computers, this draft-N compliant device also features a WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) button -- this is where the EZLink comes in -- that "allows users to setup a protected networking environment with ease." Per usual, there's no mention of a price or release date, so it's on you to keep an eye out for it to land anytime, anywhere.

I think they forgot two E's in "EeeZLink".

Something put out by Asus isn't labeled EEE-something.....BLASPHEMY!

EZLink : Since writing the same password 2 times is damn hard.

At least it's not EeeZLink

Oh wow @ the first 3 comments about EEE.

Who actually uses those "Easy Setup" buttons anyway? (Besides the people who install those Linksys CDs bundled with their routers) I prefer to have control over my network, especially when it comes to my WPA passphrase!

This thing looks like a USB-powered pregnancy test.
