While on the road with your notebook, a travel router is a great idea. When in a less than ultra luxury hotel (aka: budget, ie: Motel 6), it's great to not be tethered to the short cord the motel provides. Enter, the travel router which promises to let you take your notebook to the bed, the patio, and even the bathroom. However, CNET was not in love with the APC model tested.
When you're kicking it in your hotel room after a long day on the road, the last thing you want to do is sit at the room's uncomfortable desk, close to the Ethernet jack, to check your e-mail. APC's 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router can transform that jack into a wireless hot spot, letting you lie in bed while working online. Toting this small, light device along on your travels is easy, and its support for WPA, SPI firewall, and VPN capabilities helps your data remain secure. There's just one problem: the 3Com Office Connect Travel Router offers all of this--plus easier setup, better range, and a longer warranty--for the same price
