The Bottom Line The WiFlyer adds Wi-Fi to dial-up connections or adds Wi-Fi to wired broadband on the road. It's pricey, though, and its performance is erratic. This is among the best compact wireless-networking devices available. Small and light, the Asus WL-330 is inexpensive and can create a wireless network anywhere there's a broadband connection, but the device has disappointing range and weak security. 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.
