I got the TP-Link N300 Travel Router (without the USB port) specifically for my Xbox One S. I didn't expect it to be this good! My university uses an indirect wi-fi login system (we connect to the open university network, which brings up an internet page asking us to login with our university ID and password to authenticate — similar in system to most hotels and airports), which the Xbox can't handle. So I decided to create a small internal network in my room that has its own SSID and password. I went with a mini router rather than just a range extender because this mini router has greater functionality for around the same price as most extenders. Size: As you can see in my pictures, the length/width is a little more than that of two quarters side-by-side, and the thickness of 3/4ths a quarter. I was surprised by how small it was when I opened it. Accessories: It comes with an ethernet cable, USB charger, wall adapter (though this is a bit clunky for modern standards), travel pouch, Wi-fi Info Card, and the standard instructions. Setup: Quick and easy, though you'll need to have a computer (I'm not sure if it works on a smartphone/tablet) to access the setup page. It took me about five minutes to set mine up in Access Point Mode. Basically, you plug in the router for your preferred mode as per the image/instructions. You then connect to your router from your computer using the password on the Wi-Fi Info Card and go to tplinkwifi(dot)net to do a quick setup. Here you can choose what mode you want to use the router in, change your SSID, password, etc. Then reboot to reconfigure the router. Modes: There are five modes -- two for travel and three for at home use. I went with the Access Point (AP) Mode for my uses, but I probably could have just gone ahead with the default Wireless Router mode. The ethernet port in my room was too far away from my Xbox to use Client mode. Regardless, it’s working great. I’ve attempted to give explanations for the different modes below, but I’m not particularly knowledgeable in this so please correct me if there are any inaccuracies. For Travel: 1. Wireless Router (default): Basically, it turns a wired internet connection wireless. 2. Hotspot Router: I would best describe this as taking an open (and unsecured) wi-fi connection and making it password protected (personal hotspot). The router takes the unsecured wi-fi connection and creates a secured wi-fi/wired connection, and you can have one device connected directly to the router and have the rest of your devices using your protected wi-fi at the same time. Useful for connecting to the internet in public places like cafes. I believe it's also great for hotel rooms where only one device can use the internet per room. Connect this and all your devices can use the internet. For Home: 3. Range Extender: Similar in nature to the Hotspot Router Mode -- it goes wi-fi to wi-fi, except this mode uses your home's network and maintains the same password as your home's AP. It's to extend your home's wi-fi to reach any wi-fi dead spots in your house (like the attic or basement, or that weird corner of the room where you like to huddle and binge watch Netflix but just happens to be the same place where wi-fi connectivity is super sketch and the video never loads). You can use the router for both wired and wi-fi connections simultaneously. 4. Client: Sort of the opposite of the Wireless Router mode -- this takes a wi-fi network and makes it wired so that devices that don't have wi-fi capabilities can connect to the internet. It's great for smart TVs, game consoles, printers. 5. Access Point: Same as the Wireless Router mode, takes a wired network and makes it wi-fi. Speed: There wasn’t really any compromises made with the download speed. My university has incredibly fast wi-fi (though my dorm isn’t as fast as our libraries), so I’m glad that wasn’t sacrificed. The upload speeds weren't as consistent, but still not bad. You can see the speed test results in my pictures. Overall, I'm really liking this mini router. The size is perfect for travel (it's smaller than my Macbook Pro's MagSafe adapter…!), and the setup was straightforward. Definitely a recommended buy.

I do a lot of new data center setups where there's no internet connections and was looking for something that would be able to bridge my phone's hotspot to ethernet only servers so they can access the internet. This does that and alot more. I can also use this in hotels to connect devices such Chromecast, and anything without web browser. The most useful feature is the WISP mode which basically connects to a wifi network as a client such as hotel wifi, and then broadcasts and shares that wifi as a "second SSID" with with your own name and password that you can then connect multiple devices to. For the techies, the devices you connect using this mode are NAT-ed , so the hotel side wifi will only see one client , your wifi hotspots mac and address. Overall this is a great device. Only wish the throughput was a bit better which is not bad but off my phone hotspot direct i am getting about 20MBPS down, through the router in WISP mode its about 8-12, which is not bad for a portable low power device. Otherwise great product. Also looked at the hootoo but didn't really need the USB sharing or really care for its GUI interface. This is packed with features and great for both techie and no techie users, price is right and is feature packed. Here's a breakdown of the modes and what they are useful for. * WISP/Hotspot Mode - Good for Connecting Chromecast or any devices without a Web browser to a Captive portal wifi network. This basically connects to One SSID as a client for instance Hotel Wifi, then Broadcasts a second SSID ( one that has your own custom name and password ), and routes it so that many users can connect. As long as one device connected behind this captive portal interface authenticates, all devices will be able to access the internet. Pretty Neat! * Router Mode - Works as a standard Router which most are familiar with. You connect the wired section to your DSL/CABLE/Fiber modem and allows many users to connect. * Access Point - Works similar to the above but without Router functionality. This basically allows you to connect wireless devices to a wired network, this requires a router already existing somwhere on the wired network in order to access the internet. * Range Extender - Acts as a wireless repeater to extend signal strength, nothing else. * Client - Also known as Wireless bridge mode. You connect this router to another SSID or wifi network, and it allows you give wireless access to devices that DO not have wireless capability already, only ethernet. This feature does not use the built in router and relies on a wifi network that already has a router established.

Es muy bueno y fácil de configurar, soy programador, lo uso para conectarme a redes industriales de forma remota, a veces lo uso como repetidor, hacer los cambios es fácil, por el precio es de lo mejor en el mercado y en cuanto a diseño es muy compacto

...pero hay que tener algo de idea para instalarlo. La instalación es muy sencilla si se abre la web de configuración que te indican pero si no se abre esa web ya te tienes que buscar la vida. Una vez instalado y funcionando es una maravilla, pequeño, potente y muy versátil porque lo mismo te sirve para sacar wifi de una red ethernet que para conseguir una conexión ethernet a partir del wifi y también te puede hacer de repetidor wifi o funcionar como router cogiendo tu suministro de internet del enchufe y ofreciendo señal wifi.
