TP-LINK Wireless N150 Router Review
The TP-LINK TL-WR700N Wireless N150 Portable Router is a highly versatile device that can be used to create a wireless network, share an internet connection, extend a wireless network or even provide guest access to an existing network. The compact design and flip-out power plug makes it easy to take anywhere you need to access WiFi. The stylish design and affordable price make it a must for any networking application.
Versatility
This portable router can function in a number of different modes. It can act as an access point to provide wireless access to an existing wired network. It can also act as traditional router to share internet access from a DSL or cable modem. It can also act as a wireless extender that repeats a wireless signal without changing the SSID and password. It can even act as a wireless bridge that will allow you to share your existing wireless network with a new SSID and password to keep your original network safe from intruders and provide guests access to your WiFi.
Portability
The coolest thing about this device is that the plug is built-in and flips out when needed. You don’t have to worry about carrying around an extra power cord or power supply to use this device. This will allow you to easily create a wireless network wherever you are in an instant.

Conclusion
As one customer so elegantly put it, the TP-LINK TL-WR700N Wireless N150 Portable Router really is a digital Swiss army knife for wireless networking. It might take a little tech savvy to configure it, but for the price it can provide a solution for a number of wireless applications. I would definitely recommend this device to family and friends, even if it meant I’d have to help them configure it (which really only takes about 3 minutes when you know what to do).
