Networking stocking stuffers for your favorite travelers | ||||
'Tis the season for airports, train stations, and long road trips to see family and friends. And as much fun as get-togethers are, they can be stressful for people with limited vacation time. Make the busy travel season easier on your loved ones by giving them little networking toys that will help them stay connected wherever they are. Travel routers, hot-spot finders, and 3G cards will let them do some work remotely (that is, not burn vacation days), which means they can spend more time visiting with you. | ||||

| Review summary | For frequent fliers in constant need of Internet access, the Trendnet TEW-429UB dual hot-spot detector/Wi-Fi adapter comes in extrahandy. | The Novatel Wireless V620 PC Card is the fastest cellular modem we've seen so far. | This is among the best compact wireless-networking devices available. | The WGR101 has a couple of nice touches you won't find in other travel routers. Unfortunately, it's neither as elegantly designed nor as full featured as Apple's more expensive AirPort Express. | Although the performance wasn't as fast or consistent as we'd like, you can't deny the attractiveness of access to the Internet from almost anywhere, and that?s what this card gives you. |
