Though I agree that the Control Center software is redundant to the native Windows wireless software, it's necessary in "AP" (access point) mode. I don't know the specific details & features of your Asus PCE-AC68 wireless, but my dongle is capable of serving as a wireless access point in addition to being an Ethernet client.

The hardware may be a different model, but because it's the same brand, I assume that the software is the same albeit branded under a slightly different name. The software is called "Asus USB-N13 WLAN Control Center". I landed on this page because I have an Asus USB-N13 wifi dongle bundled with software that presented the same problem on Windows 7.
