Works but lousy software and documentation . This is a cute little unit -- footprint is only about 3.5" x 2.25" -- which appears to function as advertised, but the software and documentation leave much to be desired. The unit has a switch on the back that puts it into (R)outer mode, (A)ccess point mode, and (W)ireless repeater/bridge mode. It also has two Ethernet jacks on the back, one for the WAN and one for the LAN, though you don't need to use either (depending on the mode). The unit is set up using an Ethernet cable (plugged into the LAN port) and a computer with an internet browser.
If you are a basic user and can work with all the default settings, it might just work fine for you -- but I haven't tested the unit this way.
I use a non-broadcasted SSID, encryption, and never use the default IP addresses assigned to routers. So it took a lot of time fiddling and struggling with the software to get everything set up the way I like it.
Pros:
- very compact unit, nice design
- very compact power supply; can run power off a USB 2.0 cable too
- works in multiple modes
- supports 802.11b, g, n
- inexpensive
Cons:
- documentation is minimal (Quick setup guide) with no additional documentation available from the Sapido website
- when you switch modes using the hardware switch, the unit reverts back to default settings. It would have been nice if it saved different settings for each mode. However you can manually save the configuration settings to your hard drive, and reupload them later, if needed.
- software is very slow -- takes 25 seconds or longer to save most changes
- tricky to change the unit's IP address, and when you succeed, you need to wait about 2 min before you can access the unit's software again (hint: on the IP Config/LAN page, put the unit in "Server" mode in order to change the IP address, save the changes, then put it back into "Client" mode. Do not use "Disable" mode since it seems to disable the ability to use the unit's software altogether.)
- once the unit is operating as a Wireless repeater or bridge, you can no longer access the unit's software so you can't make any further changes (unless you reset the unit and lose all your settings). Hopefully this isn't the case in the (R) and (A) modes.
- I have my unit set up as a wireless repeater, and Internet access seems fast enough (I have full 54 mbps in 802.11g mode), but access to my server is much slower than when I'm hooked up wirelessly to my wireless router. I don't know if this is a problem with all wireless repeaters, or some other issue that can be debugged.
Overall, it took me longer than usual to set this little unit up, particularly due to the long "save" cycles, but now that it's up and running it seems to work ok.
Pocket Wireless by Sapido . Right out of the box was able to setup and use. Small compact size makes it great for the road warrior. Recommend to anyone needing a wireless-n router
