3G Wireless-N Travel Router Review

3G Wireless-N Travel Router
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I use this device with a Verizon USB modem. It works great in many US cities. The product worked as stated immediately after plugging in the USB modem. The battery life is sufficient @ around 3 to 4 hours depending on amount of data streaming. It is a great companion to my wifi Ipad. There have been instances where speed was slow but I was able to confirm that it was due to the Verizon network range inside some office buildings.

Netgear WGR101 Cable/DSL Wireless Travel Router Review

Netgear WGR101 Cable/DSL Wireless Travel Router
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I applaud Netgear for being first to market with this device (the only other I know of is the Apple Airport Express), designed for geeky business travellers. There've been many times when I've been in a hotel with wired Internet access but wanted to use my laptop across the room in bed, or in a conference room with one wired network drop and a handful of people who wanted to use it. Travelling with a 30-foot cable and/or a multi-port switch is no fun. This device is light and tiny, has a modest-sized power adapter, and even comes with a short cable for connecting to a wired port and a zippered carrying case for all of that plus your pc-card NIC.
If you're not concerned with security and have your wireless NIC set to do DHCP basically all you do is plug it in and you're all set. Configuring the device is kind of a pain though: you can only connect to it wirelessly, so if you forget the SSID after setting it not to broadcast, or forget the WEP key, you have to use the reset button and start over (make sure you hold it down a good 10 seconds, just pressing it once quickly doesn't work).
It doesn't act quite like a typical router despite some product literature I've read: on a hotel network it doesn't provide firewall or NAT security--keep in mind if the hotel assigns you a public IP you're bare naked on the Internet.
Although the physical switch on the unit that puts it in config or single-/multi-user mode is a neat idea for security, it gave me a lot of problems having to reassociate or power cycle the device after changing settings. Given that in its default state it's a pass-through device like a bridge and has no IP address, there may not be a significantly better way though.
I had little to no luck using this device with my home router or cable modem, but on a hotel wired access point it was seamless including VPN connectivity (unlike my Netgear MR814 at home). Range is very good even through walls and floors/ceilings. I got mine for about half price after rebates which, I think, just barely makes it worth it. If you like to have the latest gadget, and especially if you travel, this is less of a pain and certainly niftier than carrying around a 30-foot cable and/or hub.

3-in-1 Palm Size Mini Portable 802.11 Wireless N/G WiFi Network Router/Adapter/Access Point Review

Average Reviews:

I bought this to use with my IPad, which of course has no LAN port, because I sometimes work in offices that only have a wired network. When I connect to the LAN, power up, and turn on my IPad, this device name shows up in the network list and works fine. I have one concern which might not be an issue for a real IT person. I configured it at home for my secure wireless network, but when I use it at the office, there is no indication that the network is secure. In other words, I don't know whether it converts a secure, wired network to an open wireless network.

Windy31 USB-Type Portable Wireless Gateway to Combine Wireless Lan card, Wireless AP and Wireless Router (Black) (Retail Packaged) Review

Average Reviews:

I like to get out of my office and work out on the counter with my own personal laptop. Our IT guys were miffed that I had installed a traditional wireless router to allow me to do this because, with only one NIC card, it put the desktop as well as the laptop behind a NAT address - and so IT couldn't "see" the company desktop. Now, instead, I use the Windy31. Since it just looks like one of those big, old, first generation, USB drives, no one knows it is a router, and the company desktop can be seen by IT (so they're happy). But, I can get a very good wireless connection through the Windy31 at 50ft. or so from my office. When I go home, I just unplug the big, old "USB drive". I very pleased with this product.

We use one of these for tradeshows to connect multiple computers at the booth and can share the connection with our colleagues in other booths. When the wife and I travel, we can be on the internet on separate laptops. If a client is without internet for whatever reason, this can serve them for a short time days until they are back online.
It's easy to setup and with the firmware update never drops the connection to Sprint.

Cradlepoint PHS-300 Personal Wi-Fi Hotspot Router + Accessory Kit Review

Cradlepoint PHS-300 Personal Wi-Fi Hotspot Router + Accessory Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I researched wireless routers I had a choice between this product and the native product from Verizon. I chose this product for a number of reasons: I could keep my old wireless modem, I could buy a second battery which I did, and it allowed up to 16 connections instead of the five. So far I haven't been disappointed with the product, the setup was very easy on my macbook and the range is very good. I use an Airport express associated with my home routers for streaming iTunes and printer data, I set this router up the same way. I didn't try printing yet but I think it will work without a problem, however so far I am not able to stream iTunes through it. It plays for a couple of seconds and then stops, I think the buffers are being overrun. There are some parameters but I haven't made the time to see if they can be adjusted enough to get the streaming to work - it just may be too much for such a small router. We have two macbrook pros, two airport express routers and an iPod Touch and all work great. I haven't spent much time on the road with the router yet but I don't expect it to perform any better than the native router does on Verizon's network. I am going to be very interested to see if and how fast the router resets when the connection drops.
By the way the router easily fits into a pocket but with the modem attached it becomes awkward so you need some place to carry it.

Great 3G router. Smallest high performance wireless router I have ever seen. It can be powered up by mini USB. It has three modes for router, access point, wireless access point. Wireless access point feature is really cool. Basically you can connect this hotspot to any wireless router via WiFi then either extend the wifi or plug a network device to it's ethernet port to turn it into wireless device. Price is unbelievable for all these functions.

I spend a lot of time traveling (and in many countries) for my business, and it's very important to me that I have good communications wherever I go. I've been using one of these for a few months now and am very happy with it overall. The user interface for configuring it for new networks isn't all too intuitive, but once it's configured, it's been working like a charm for me. I can share my wired or wireless connection in hotels, airport lounges, etc., with ease.

Always On Wireless WDB20B WiFlyer Wireless Access Point Review

Always On Wireless WDB20B WiFlyer Wireless Access Point
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had my WiFlyer for a few months now and am very happy, overall, with the product. I cover an 18 county area, in a mainly rural state, and travel all over the state for meetings and trainings. The mix of dialup and broadband connections can be a pain. The WiFlyer has given me the flexibility to use any type of connection that I come across (Well, almost any, you can't use it on a digital phone system. Not sure why, but that was very disappointing when I spent a week in a room with a digital phone in at and was stuck using a regular phone line, plugged into the wall, to access my dial up account.). The WiFlyer interface is browser based, just plug it in and turn on your computer. Once the computer locates the WiFlyer signal you open your web browser and set up your connection. Its very easy to use and has worked great with both my work and personal laptops (Dells running XP Pro) and my Dell Axim PocketPC.
Sometimes the signal seems to be a little weak, I'd like to see it come with an external antannae (you can buy one, but you know, should you really have to?). And I always feel like I have to baby it, not sure why but it just feels fragile to me. That being said, I've had it in my computer bag and hauled it all over the place and haven't had any problems with it. I've never been able to get the dial up accelerator program to work either. I might use it if I could, but have had no success so far.
It's a great product. If you're on the road and need a great solution for dealing with a variety of Internet connections, or if you want to make your dial up connection wireless, this is for you. Easy to use, simple to hook up and gives you wireless access anywhere you go. Well worth the price.

this router is working great for me as a repeater/internet bridge. I must say that initially i was confused during configuration as it seemed that if i made a change using the web interface and applied it, sometimes i would notice that something i did earlier would get wiped out. this may have been intentional (for example my changes may have been in conflict), because when i used the 'one click setup' option in the web interface everything worked just fine. The router has been working consistently for 2 months now and i have never had to reboot it.

Buffalo Technology AirStation N150 Wireless Router & AP WCR-GN (White) Review

Buffalo Technology AirStation N150 Wireless Router and AP WCR-GN (White)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been using a powerline adapter to get ethernet to my slingbox and other A/V equipment, but powerline is very sensitive to anything and everything. So I started looking for an affordable wireless bridge. Here it is in the WCR-GN.
To be clear (since the packaging is not) this unit can be used as a standard access point and firewall, or as a bridge to connect to your existing wireless network and give you five ethernet ports in a remote location--a wireless switch. The box leaves you wondering if this unit is compatible with other brands of access points--it is.
I got the unit, plugged it in and configured it for bridging mode, and it connected to my D-Link DIR-625 wireless network with no problems (using 802.11n). It brings me much better and consistent throughput to my A/V equipment than did my four port powerline unit. In bridging mode the "WAN" ethernet port becomes a fifth switch port.
The web management interface is quirky and unrefined, but it gets the job done. When you make changes that cause the unit to reset, the screen usually says it will take about 20s. It really takes 1-2 minutes to settle down and stabilize, so don't get too impatient. The radio seems to have a more limited range than most, but it's acceptable for my purposes. It is a rather small unit, so can fit just about anywhere.
This unit can also act as a simple access point with a no-frills firewall, but I don't intend to use it that way and haven't tested it. What I did test was streaming my slingbox to my desktop while simultaneously watching an HD YouTube video streaming to my BluRay player. Both were running through the Buffalo in opposite directions. Pretty basic stuff, but I had to make sure it performed given the price. Neither had a hiccup, which is again far better than my old setup.
Lastly, in bridging mode it can also act as a wireless repeater to extend your existing wireless signal, or to add more SSIDs. I don't have a need for this and only tested it briefly.

Psion 56k Travel Modem Review

Psion 56k Travel Modem
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was very disappointed with this product. I purchased it for my Handspring Visor because it was the fastest modem on the market. I could never get it to work. First of all, it was not made for the Visor, it was made for the Revo, so none of the instructions in the box helped me set it up. I followed the instructions on Psion's web site, but after many more attempts, I was still unsucessful in connecting to my ISP. I even called Psion's technical support hotline, but got nowhere. After trying to get this product to work for about a month, I sent it back and purchased a Thincom 33.6 modem (about the same price) and was able to connect immediately. I am not saying that this is a bad product, it most likely works fine with Psion's PDAs, but, it is not a product that should be purchased for use with a Handspring Visor.

Otherwise, this thing rocks!

Wireless N Portable Router 802.11 B/g/n Spi Nat Wep Wpa WPA2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this router to acheive wireless connectivity in my home using a Pantech UM185 usb modem. All I had to do was plug in the router and it was up and running in seconds. Since my internet plan has a data usage cap, it's also very helpful that the CTR35 router keeps track of how much data I use (as long as I always keep it on).
The router also has good range; I receive a good signal anywhere in the house, and the router supports 16 wireless connections simultaneously (have only used three at one time so far with no problems).
Furthermore, the router has an ethernet port to hook up one device if it is not wireless enabled.
I have had no problems, and the router works better than I expected. If you have a usb modem and want wireless connectivity, this is the router for you (be sure to check modem compatibility).

Cradlepoint MBR1000 Review

Cradlepoint MBR1000
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this unit about 14 months ago. It was purchased from [....]. I had decided to finally get my parents some sort of high speed internet because dial up just wasn't cutting it. They live in the woods about 5 miles from the I-5 freeway but DSL or Cable doesn't come down the road. It goes right by the end of it but not down it. So for Christmas of '08 I went to Sprint and purchased the Air Card, well the card was free just had to sign up for a 1 year contract. I asked them about a router for this and they told me to visit [...] and look at Cradlepoint. I found the MBR1000 and when I buy something I want to make sure it is the best. So I purchased it. Got it in about 4 days. Once I figure out where I was going to get the best signal for the air card it took me about 10 minutes to set up the router, air car, and my parents computers. I have had no trouble with it. I think the LOS (Line of Sight) is underestimated. I purchase a range booster for it as well and the neighbor said he could get 1-2 bars of signal (Router signal not modem) at his place. He is about 100yds from my parents house with a couple of trees in the way is all. We unplugged the range booster and the signal stayed the same. Turns out the Router itself was getting that range. He could sit out on his deck and use his laptop with 1meg download speeds. I would recommend this product to anyone. As a matter of fact a close friend of mine doesn't have high speed internet at her house and she wants to get the same thing that my parents have. I am going to recommend the MBR1000 especially since it has gone down in price since I purchased it. I was astounded by the range it can get. I did however have to purchase an antenna for the modem itself because it wasn't the best cell signal in that area but I went from 1-2 bars, 2nd bar flashing to 3 solid bars of signal with the external antenna mounted on the deck. DO NOT but directional range booster antennas because the cell companies will not tell you where the towers are so you can aim it. The margin of error in pointing one of those is too small to get it. I used a Trucker antenna from Wilson Electronics that works great. I hope someone finds this useful and makes a decision based on this review.
