would be great for LAN games on a PSP or phone or something

Would be even cooler if it also had a built in battery, but could easily just use an external battery

I have one of these currently on the end of a powerline to provide a better wifi signal downstairs (router being 2 floors up).

This has been rock solid since the day I bought it and has certainly lived up to the job, I now have a strong wireless signal all through my house.

I have also used it in hotels that provide wireline connectivity only, just connect to the ethernet jack in the room and hey-presto, you have a wifi connection for mobile phones etc.

Would definitely recommend for simple applications, especially for the price you can pick these up for.

Yep, im definitely getting one of these. Cheers hexus!

I've got the model up with 3g/4g dongle support, these are great products
I use mine currently as my sole home internet connection with a three dongle, rock solid and fast, have also used it in car wth phone charger and in various hotels, I don't leave home without it

Ah man, got so excited when i saw the picture, but theres no usb host mode and the 2mb of flash memory is not enough for openwrt even though the hardware is supported.
Would have ordered 3 of these just in case i need backups if it had the above features.

Ordered one up. Going to use it as a repeater but also tempted by the bridge mode - Just depends on the available throughput.

TL-MR3020 is the model I was referring to in my previous post

With OpenWRT support, 32MiB RAM and USB

And only £30

I'm not to clued up on networking but would it be possible to have this in router mode and set to create a site-to-site VPN then I'd always haev a secure network and just connect wireless devices to the safe side of the router?

you could use openVPN

Just got one, prompted by the review (#effectivepromotion), to act as a bridge for a Sky+ HD box to connect to the home wireless network - out of the box, setup and working within 10 minutes.

Wish I'd read the forums before I got the 702, I'd have gone for the 3020 Still, massively impressed with the 702, got it set up as a repeater to cover a dead zone in my house, can stream video to a laptop while cooking now. Probably still get a 3020 as well, useful for when I travel.
