ASUS makes products in almost every area of Information Technology too, including PC components, peripherals, notebooks, tablets, servers and smartphones.

For those of you that do not know; Wireless Extenders are a good way to get your internet signal from one room to another without having to run cables through the whole house. To use the adapters you just plug one into your wall somewhere away from the router and it extends the range of the wireless somewhat far.
