Wifi

[DR]

Right, at home I have Wifi - I want to have it on the move, I want to have a SMALL wifi adapter which can go in to a network port - pick up an IP if needed and auto config itself. Then broadcast wifi round my hotel room or wherver I am.

Sounds simple - but I need something which just works - no messing around.

Any router with a dedicated wan port could do it. I plugged my D-Link 624+ out of the box, staight into the cable modem. 30s later, DHCP recieved, all systems had a internet gateway.

Has to be small to fit in my bag....

Find any small router that does DHCP when its booted up? Thats essentially all you need, as you can pre-configure things like WPA-PSK whilst you at home, and save those settings into its EEPROM.

I havent a clue what would be small off the top of my head...

There's a number of travel or pocket access points announced, such as http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=346 or http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/d...ku=3CRTRV10075 although I haven't seen many UK stockists for them.

how big's ya bag?

my USR Sureconnect 8000A works like that but is no doubt a little on the large side for what you need.

thing is - some of the hotels need you to connect to the net and maps your mac address i.e you have a 'connect' page and you hit 'go on then rape me #10 dollars'.

Wireless bridge would be the ticket.
