ASUS has a new router offering that is ready for the world entitled the RT-N13U. While this particular wireless router doesn’t have many shocking hardware features, namely 801.11b/g/n compatibility, a USB 2.0 port and 4 LAN ports, the real gem is in the software ASUS will bundle in.

ASUS says that their EZ UI management software along with their EZ QoS bandwith prioritizing software and EZ All-in-One Printer sharing software is what really sets the RT-N13U router apart from the rest. If you couldn’t tell by their names, all of this software is extremely EZ to use.

Newegg currently has ASUS’ RT-N13U router for sale at a modest $59.99.
