Reviews of the Synet Windy31 USB Wireless Router
-
CNET Review
The Good: Compact; completely automated and fast installation; works with any Internet service; decent range.
The Bad: No Mac support; flimsy design; no Draft N support; throughput could be better; short USB head.
The Bottom Line: The Windy31 USB Wireless Router is not a router in the traditional sense. This small, USB drive lets you create a wireless network with access to the Internet from any one PC that has an Internet connection. It's a must-have for travelers who need to share their Internet access with different Wi-Fi devices.
