Testing
All of the WL-330N3G’s modes worked as advertised. The only issues I experienced are the caveats listed in the previous section. Also, I was unable to test its 3G mode because I do not have a 3G USB adapter. As far as performance goes, I was impressed with what this little device could do. Below is a graph of recorded speeds at various distances. Speeds were recorded by transferring a 3.74GB file over the network and taking the average speed. Below are the specs of the system I used, along with the graph of speed data.
