Linksys WTR54GS Wireless G Travel Router with Speedbooster Reviews
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). 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). This router is terrific.
After all, it was designed for a limited area such as a hotel or a conference room. 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. In that regard this little travel router has been a God send.
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. I have had it about a year now and it has been quite reliable.
The fact that it had limited range was more a plus than a liability. Most initially try to connect with their cellular solutions but quickly abandon them in favor of the WAP. 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.
It lasted 1 year and burned out. Worked great for 1 year, I thought I could use this at home all the tme beasue of my space limitation. If you just use it for tarveling you will be fine.
Once running it was great to pay for one connection and have 2 laptops on line in two different hotel rooms (nearby). Good size for traveling, did run hot and had problems with WEP.
Also for going to a friend's house with no wireless. Just pop your travel router in and you're up. Getting your car serviced and the complimentary work stations are taken. Great for hotels with weak or no wireless.
