Great Gadget [Posted on 2008-01-13] Great for hotels with weak or no wireless. Also for going to a friend's house with no wireless. Getting your car serviced and the complimentary work stations are taken? Just pop your travel router in and you're up!
Nice size ran hot [Posted on 2008-01-27] Good size for traveling, did run hot and had problems with WEP. Once running it was great to pay for one connection and have 2 laptops on line in two different hotel rooms (nearby).
Worked great for 1 year [Posted on 2008-03-27] Worked great for 1 year, I thought I could use this at home all the tme beasue of my space limitation. It lasted 1 year and burned out. If you just use it for tarveling you will be fine.
Best gadget I never knew I needed [Posted on 2008-04-21] This was an impulse buy for me. My logic at the time of purchase was that I could pre-configure it as a grab and run WAP and throw it up wherever and whenever a quick and dirty hot spot was needed in our four floor public building. The fact that it had limited range was more a plus than a liability. After all, it was designed for a limited area such as a hotel or a conference room.
I was surprised with the configuration and security options which matched those of the general purpose WRT54G and secondly, at least my unit has fantastic coverage. When placed on the second floor I get about 200' coverage in every direction and ample bandwidth using up to 10 notebooks.
I'm amazed at the number of speakers who appear for seminars, lectures and training sessions assuming the availability of wireless Internet. Most initially try to connect with their cellular solutions but quickly abandon them in favor of the WAP. In that regard this little travel router has been a God send.
I have had it about a year now and it has been quite reliable.
Excellent for the traveler [Posted on 2008-06-21] This router is terrific. I read reviews on many travel routers and this one lives up to the hype. After it is configured, it is just "plug it in and it works" (configuration isn't too hard, but only needs to be done once). I've used it several places and it is great. Good signal through several walls (using it right now at my in-laws house, making their cable wireless for my stay).
