ASUS WL-330NUL - A mini router, network adapter, hotspot, ...

5. Ethernet to USB adapter

This mini router also lets you connect to the Internet by a network cable (even without Ethernet port on your computer).

To do this, connect the network cable (from the modem or router with Internet access) on the device. Then, connect your mini router to an USB port on your computer.
By default, when the device is connected in this way, it already operates in "Ethernet adapter" mode. So you automatically have access to the Internet.

However, the unit still emits its own private wireless network.
To disable it, you have to disable the wireless signal of the device by the Asus program for Windows. Because, the web interface doesn't allow it.

To disable the wireless network, run the Asus program and click the "Advanced settings" button.

Then, go to the "Wireless Settings" tab and check the "Disable" box in the "on / off wireless signal" category.

A small loading window will appear a few seconds.

Then, the program will display the message "Changes saved". The wireless network is no longer emitted by the device.
