hi Dave Taylor here and I'm in a hotel
0:05
room to show you the trendnet N150
0:08
Wireless travel router IT addresses this
0:11
common problem that you have in hotel
0:12
rooms which is they now build by the
0:15
device so if you like me travel with a
0:18
laptop and a tablet and a smartphone
0:22
that's three devices that could be 30
0:24
bucks every day to get on the internet
0:27
that's pretty whacked so what trend net
0:30
has is they has this very slick little
0:31
device I'll show you in a second and it
0:34
basically you plug it into the wall and
0:36
go through a minute or two of
0:38
configuration and now it's your base
0:40
unit so you only have to pay for one
0:42
unit or one device regardless of how
0:45
many you're using now where this really
0:47
is beneficial is if you have a roommate
0:49
and if the two of you are sharing and
0:51
you have potentially six different
0:53
devices that would be a pretty crazy
0:55
bill so this is the end of the device
0:58
and as you can see it has a US B
1:00
charging plug a USB sharing plug and an
1:04
Ethernet Jack so the whole device is
1:07
pretty darn small um and what else is
1:10
nice is that you can pop off the US
1:13
format plug and put in one for the UK or
1:17
one for the EU so it's a good travel
1:19
Port uh device too and let's go back to
1:23
the sharing plug out the back is this
1:26
lets you plug in something like a hard
1:28
drive and then any anyone who's using
1:30
this device as their Wireless unit
1:33
actually can get to that device too so
1:35
that is a very handy feature so the
1:38
trend net runs about 40 bucks on Amazon
1:41
so it's really hard to beat I mean
1:43
honestly if you stay in a hotel room for
1:44
2 or 3 days you probably covered the
1:46
cost of this device now I'll be fair
1:49
it's not without some frustrations and
1:51
things aren't as quick as you'd hope so
1:53
I've found that sometimes I'll try to
1:55
connect to the device and it doesn't
1:57
work and then I wait a little bit maybe
1:59
a minute or to and then I try again and
2:01
then it works fine so um it's not the
2:04
most perfect device in the world but for
2:05
40 bucks or possibly even less it's a
2:08
really great device for you Road
2:10
Warriors out there and it's something
2:13
really well worth considering so this is
2:15
Dave Taylor and I need to get back to my
2:17
hotel room activities whatever they may
2:20
be and I'll see you in the next video
