Wireless networks in hotels and other locations are becoming commonplace, but that doesn't mean that they are cheap to use, reliable or secure. Tenda's W300M portable access point/router aims to solve those problems by converting the more secure port-based internet connection to a personalised wireless network.

If you haven't experienced the irritation of booking into a hotel room or arriving at a new destination only to find out that your internet tablet, mobile phone and laptop are all rendered ineffective by the location's solitary wired internet connection or awful wireless signal, then you are a lucky person. Tenda has recognised this problem and designed an irritation-removing device which has the ability to convert a single Ethernet port into a 300Mbps Wireless-N network.

While wired port conversion is the W300M's headline function, it isn't the only task that it is capable of carrying out. The repeater/extender mode allows a weak network signal to be boosted, providing an easy-to-access connection for wireless devices with less powerful adapters, or even wired computers.

With five convenient operating modes and a hassle-free form factor, can Tenda's W300M prove that it is a must have, headache-curing device for frequent travellers or users with network problems?

Specifications:

  • Standards: IEEE 802.11 b/g/n; IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u
  • Interface: 1*10/100M LAN/WAN (interchangeable) port
  • Antenna: Internal high performance, omni-directional antenna
  • Wireless speed: 300Mbps
  • Wireless frequency: 2.4GHz
  • Wireless modes: 11 b/g/n mixed, 11 b/g mixed, 11g, 11b

For many of our readers a router is a device that will be provided by an ISP (such as Virgin or BT) but for others it is the central hub of a multimedia environment. Whichever the case is it is an essential part of any modern household. This is especially true since the rapid advances in smartphones and tablets which are requiring ever faster wireless connections.

Some households in the UK are now at the stage where they may have more than ten internet connected devices. I, for instance, have six devices that I use regularly to access the internet, whether it to watch TV, check my email or even write this review. Other homes are likely to have at least three or four devices active at any given time.

It goes without saying that an ever increasing demand is put on a router and as such having the latest model is usually a worthwhile investment.

Today's router up for review, is the ASUS RT-N66U Dual Band Wireless N900 which is capable of transferring up to 900 Mbps across the two bands, this is certainly a large step up from your more humble N300 router that your ISP will supply you with (if you are lucky).
