Add a wireless access point almost anywhere

The D-Link Wireless Pocket Router is a useful device for the modern road warrior. With three different functions it can make life a lot easier for someone who needs an Internet connection when only one Ethernet port is available and in use by another person. Just plugging the card into your computer gives you 802.11g wireless connectivity. If you need a router or need to connect to an existing wireless network you can do that, too, just change the selector switch on the D-Link to handle whichever setup you need. There’s a firewall built in, so your wireless network is protected from malicious attacks, and you can use the D-Link to connect to any wireless network without being required to deal with a complicated software install first. The pocket router is user friendly and if USB power options are not available it can be powered through a standard outlet, giving you virtually no excuse for not doing your work.
