Multifunction is the name of the game with the Asus WL-330N3G. This 3G wireless router has a variety of different uses, making it a highly practical device. 

At its core, the device is a mobile wireless router connecting external devices to the internet. But in addition to this it can also function as a broadband hotspot, enabling a number of different PCs to share the hotspot in question (you would have to have a 3G dongle though).

 

An Ethernet port is available enabling users to connect devices such as game consoles and printers, while the dongle can also be used as a universal repeater to strengthen the range of an existing connection. The device has a theoretical data transfer limit of 150 Mbps and sports a fast setup process thanks to ASUS Plug-n-Surf technology.

 

The ASUS WL-330N3G features a power-,USB 2.0- and 10/100 Ethernet port and when turned on four LED indicators display the status of the connection. A great solution if you need an online connection on the go. Go to www.asus.co.za/fb for more info. 

 

 

 

VIPRE anti-virus is one of the newcomers in the field, but this hasn’t stopped the tenacious software package from taking on the big boys, and living to tell about it. 
 

One of the most annoying aspects of modern anti-virus software is the recurring annual licenses, and this is where VIPRE truly stands out from the crowd. It is one of the only mainstream services offering lifetime licenses, meaning you buy it once and never again.

 

VIPRE describes itself as being a light-weight, highly efficient anti-virus program that supplies users with all the security features they may need, in addition to not hogging system resources. The software optimises overall performance by combining anti-virus and anti-spyware features into a single tool. A firewall is included, sporting a myriad of different options which can be set up in either the Simple or Learning mode, depending on your tech-saviness. A web filter also helps block annoying online ads while email scanning will ensure clean mail at all times.

 

A VIPRE premium lifetime single PC license is available with an RRP of R450. For more info call Africa SD on 012-665-2513.
