Traveling Wireless

[LunarMist]

I will be in the hotel that has no wireless, only Ethernet. What would you use to connect an S2 phone, tablet and computer to that internet, something like this?

That would do it. The other thing you can try is plugging the laptop into the ethernet and bridging the wireless and wired NICs into an ad-hoc network. I would just get the router, or configure the S2 to do the wireless hotspot thing if it can.

Yes. I have one of those. They work, but their range isn't fantastic. The do have flexible firmware that allows them to be used as range extenders or 802.11 to ethernet bridges though, so at least there's some extra utility.

I'm not expecting a large hotel room in the Asian countries. Surely it transmits 4m or so?

 

[Mercutio]

Sure, but in my experience I wouldn't hold out for 10m.

Well I guess it is worth a try and there is an extra coupon bringing the price to $40 now.
