WiFi finder/adapter smackdown: ZyXEL AH-225 vs. TRENDnet TEW-509UB
Finally we thought, a good ol' fashioned WiFi finder/adapter smackdown pitting the
ZyXel AH-225 vs.
TRENDnet TEW-509UB. We already thought the two looked awfully similar and now Toms Networking confirms that both devices use the same U-Media Communications WUB-410Z
hardware. Sigh ... so what we get, really, is a review of a single device combining a 802.11a/b/g finder and USB 2.0 WiFi adapter that vary only slightly in features and price. In fact, the recommendation is to buy whichever you can find for the lowest price opting for the AG-225H if you need Mac support or you want the adapter to also function as a temporary, short-to-medium range access point. As Toms Networking lays it down, you'll be hard pressed to find a more capable WiFi finder.
