Overview

Switching between router, hotspot, range extender, client and access point modes lets this pocket router adapt to hotels and cafes. It runs on a mini USB power supply and carries a dual band radio of the current Wi-Fi generation.

A multifunction USB port shares files through a browser and can power small devices. The Ethernet port tops out at a basic speed, so wired transfers are limited.

Who it's for

Frequent travelers and dorm residents. Home users needing coverage across a house should choose a larger router.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Several operating modes
  • USB port shares files and charges phones
Cons
  • Fast Ethernet only
  • One WAN/LAN port
  • Compatibility entry in specs looks wrong

Performance notes

Two radios carry traffic on different bands, and the combined figure adds them, so a single device sees less. Range extender mode repeats an existing signal. The wired port limits speed in router mode.
