NETGEAR PR2000 Trek N300 Travel Router - Portable WiFi Range Extender & Wireless Bridge for Hotels, Camping, Business Trips | Secure VPN Support | Easy Setup

Overall I like this unit. My first one arrived defective, it would boot up just fine through the usb port but wouldn't work through the wall plug. I was a little annoyed at Netgear when I contacted them about it...they said return it to where you purchased it...considering it has a 1 year warranty they should have offered to replace it...anyways I returned it to amazon and got a new one that works fine.So about the actual unit. I've had travel routers from D-Link, TP-Link, and ASUS. I'm very happy with this model. I primarily use this for traveling in China set to wired mode(which gives me a private wireless network). I think the labels of wired, off, wireless are a little confusing. Off is obvious but to me the wired and wireless is backwards. Maybe that's because I came from a D-Link model DIR-505L. Anyways the reason(s) I purchased this are it is capable of 300mbps...my DIR-505L was limited to 150mbps. I like the fact I can use this as a charger in addition to a router, and I like that I can connect a storage device through the USB port.The web based router log in works fine for me. I've never had a problem and can't complain.Note I tried to change the language on the web based management and it seems the only language that works is English. This is fine for me but that could be a problem for someone else.The firmware update works fine for me. This is one of the big reasons I upgraded from my D-Link DIR-505L...I felt the firmware was extremely out of date and not as secure as I would have liked. Granted after I purchased this D-Link released an update but it was something like 2 years in between updates. To me that is not acceptable.This unit is much better then any TP-Link I've used. The TP-Link models I used were in Chinese and took me quite a bit of time to set up(I do speak/read/write Chinese). It's just much easier to have this in my native language to set up then work through any TP-Link Chinese version. I know TP-Link also sells English firmware versions in the USA but I prefer netgear to tp-link.Make sure the unit is off when you plug it in and then you move the switch to your desired selection. I've forgotten to do that a couple of times and when I plug it back in the unit does not work properly.I haven't had issues where the connection is dropped...On my asus router I constantly had issues and that was one of the reasons I gave it away to a friend.Also just to make sure you know this isn't a whole house router...the range/speed will not be up to par. This is for travel and in my experiences in hotels the signal quality/strength/speed has been fine. I've had more issues with the internet at the hotel being slow but my connection from my computer/ipad/iPhone/windows phone to this device has never been an issue.As far as I can tell this is one of the fastest travel routers on the market (up to 300 mbps) from a trusted manufacturer. If you search amazon you can find lots of travel routers but most are from brands I've never heard of.
