This little portable router worked perfectly, with the setup minimal. Only thing missing was a case or pouch to carry it.
I went to Las Vegas recently with my Nexus 7 tablet, which does not have a wired ethernet port. I also assumed that some of the hotels in Vegas still had wired internet connections in their rooms. My stay was at the Monte Carlo, which only has the wired connection in the room. So I plugged cable into this router in the Access Point mode, which in turn sends out wi-fi signals that my Nexus7 picked up. A couple of tabs on the Nexus7 to accept the hotels terms, etc. and I had internet access. I was able to check my emails, etc. in my room. Since the hotel charges you a daily fee which includes Internet access, might as well put it to good use.
So this TP-Link router worked as advertised. Plug in the required cables, setup was almost automatic, and instant wi-fi connection to the Internet. The price was great too.
