    Duration of ownership: 40 Days

    Strengths: Up to 5X the speed and 2X the range of 802.11b wireless Small 54 Mbps Wireless Router that can be carried in a pocket Internal Antenna design for durability Includes convenient carrying case in which to store router along with essentials Three mod

    Weaknesses:

    Overall Evaluation: 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. Netgear supplies a slim zippered padded case that fits the router, power adapter, and all the supplied cables. Throw it into your PC case or your shoulder bag and be ready to go online wirelessly wherever a wired Ethernet port is found while traveling

    Duration of ownership: 2 Months

    Strengths: Fast / Easy setup / Handy carrying case

    Weaknesses:No WPA security until you upgrade the firmware / Poor support material

    Overall Evaluation: I found a really good deal on this router so I decided to jump on it. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it's a great travel router. Very small, with a nice carrying case, and easy to set up. The only negative is that I had to install a firmware update to enable WPA security, but it only took a few minutes and has been fine ever since.It needs some improvement as far as the quick & easy setup guide--it doesn't include security configuration. I had to read through the manual to figure out how to log in to the router to update settings & firmware.

    Strengths: small portable wireless G router. Good enough range for a travel saized product.

    Weaknesses:no ethernet port to hardwire computers.

    Overall Evaluation: This little device works perfectly. I keep this router in my laptop bag so I am able to connect online at work and at home without having to purchase two routers. It doesn't have port allowing my to hardwire my desktop so I always keep a usb network adapter in the pouch that came with the router.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Quick connect and very small.

    Weaknesses:None.

    Overall Evaluation: Very good router, obtains connection quickly and holds it. Great for travelers as it is about the size of a deck of cards, easily fits in your laptop carrying bag or pocket. Watch for sale pricing and rebates to make your best deal-it is not necessary to pay full price. Recommended purchase..

    Duration of ownership: 10 Days

    Strengths: Pocket size (although power adapter is not build-in)

    Weaknesses:wireless only (no Ethernet ports except WAN)WPA works apparently only after firmware upgrade

    Overall Evaluation: This router works OK. It's smaller than Apple's unit, but it has a separate power adapter, so it actually takes a bit more space. It can be used overseas as it supports 120/220V. Comes with a nice travel case. I only used it in individual mode with encryption, and it worked fine. I haven't tried it in a group mode yet, so I can't comment on this, but some other users complained about problems with encryption in that mode.
