Wireless Multifunction Mini Router Review + Giveaway
You’re probably wondering why I’m excited about a Wireless Multifunction Mini Router. Because I’m actually connecting to the Internet so much FASTER since I’ve started using this very handy little gizmo!! First it features a variety of modes to fill whatever role required in your network! AND; it has enough speed and wireless range to power a complex assortment of devices, enabling you to create a highly efficient mobile office or entertainment network in no time.
In the evenings you can find me in the livingroom sitting with DH; laptop on my lap; working away on my blog. Sooooooooo many times I am screaming at my laptop because it’s so slow!! I don’t understand how a small house like ours has sooooo many low signal strength areas. It’s a little house people!! Sometimes I even give up completely trying to connect to the web! Nothing gets me more frustrated than slow internet speed or not being able to log on at all. Even DH doesn’t frustrate me as much!!
So, how easy is it to use the Etekcity Wireless-N Mini Router?!?! Well, if you can plug something into the wall socket you can do this!! The installation manual was a little confusing but one quick Google search and a YouTube video later I was set. All-in-all 15 minutes and I had a very strong wireless signal through out the house. SO EASY!!
I was a little worried I was going to have to connect cables and type in a ton of information and go back and forth. NOPE!! The setup is done wirelessly. Seriously; your basically plugging it into a wall outlet, choose the SSID that the mini router is broadcasting on your computer, punch in the IP address located on the back of the router; log in with your default username and password provided and TADA!! You are up and running. SO easy!
MORE TO LOVE
Once your router is configured you can also create a second “guest” SSID. Perfect!! Now when the kids come over everyone can get on the wifi with the guest log on!! LOVE that!!
Even more the Etekcity® Wireless-N Wireless WIFI 300mbps Multifunction Mini Router is small. Small; like fits in the palm of your hand small!! Small but powerful!! Check out the different working modes this device has:
Repeater
Repeater mode lets you connect to your existing network and amplify it. This enables you to extend the range of your wireless network – invaluable if you have a weak connection in a room far away from your router.
Router
Router mode functions as a typical router, connecting to the internet provided by your ISP and broadcasting a wireless signal, to create your own network.
Access Point
The Mini Router can create a wireless connection from a wired source in Access Point mode. If only an ethernet port or ethernet cable is available, the router can connect to the wired connection and broadcast a wireless network that all your devices can connect to.
Bridge
In Bridge mode, the Mini Router can connect to an existing wireless network and rebroadcast it under a new name; useful for organizing different users of your network into separate connections: e.g., if you ran a coffee shop and wanted to create a separate network name for your customers to connect to.
Client
In Client mode, the Mini Router connects to a device such as a Smart TV or video game console using an ethernet cable and then can be used as a wireless adapter, enabling the connected device to connect to the internet wirelessly.
