I love those little blue travel routers! (I assume that's what you're talking about) I use them all the time to troubleshoot WiFi issues, or to turn wired-only devices into wireless clients. They're perfect for that. My favorite part is that they can be run off powered USB ports (they use a standard micro USB cable), so sometimes I can power the router off the device I'm trying to connect to the wireless network. Too cool.


Slight hijack: You should look at the TL-WR703N rather than the TL-WR702N. The 703 has more flash and RAM and therefore can run OpenWRT:

Edit: the 703 doesn't seem to be a current model on their website any more though.
