The Wireless Pocket Router/AP might be small in size, but is huge in functionality. The DWL-G730AP supports multiple operation modes including: Access Point (AP) mode to create a wireless connection; Router mode to share an Internet connection; and Wireless Client mode to connect an existing wireless network. Easily switch between these modes by using the 3-way configuration switch located at the bottom.

In addition, the DWL-G730AP supports VPN Pass-through and firewall features including Network Address Translation (NAT) and MAC filtering to protect your wireless network from malicious attacks.
When set in Wireless Client mode, the DWL-G730AP allows connection to an existing wireless network, without having to install complicated drivers or additional software. For added mobility, the DWL-G730AP can be powered over USB if power outlets are not available.
The Pocket Router/AP supports WPA-PSK to secure your wireless data communications. In AP mode, the DWL-G730AP adds support for 802.1x user authentication with an external RADIUS server. For setup and configuration the DWL-G730AP can be accessed via D-Link's user-friendly Web-based utility.

Review Date: Apr 10, 2009
| Greg in Lansing, Michigan |
Strengths: Very easy setup; Quite versatile;
Arrives complete and ready to use
Weaknesses: Runs somewhat warm; No LAN Ethernet ports so it will only work as an access point in Router mode
Summary: I stay at a number of hotels which have only an Ethernet (DSL) connection in the room, versus WiFi. The DWL-G730AP has been the perfect solution for my needs. Not only does this unit include the Ethernet cable, power adapter and a very nice form-fitted zipper case but it also has virtually the same browser-based configuration utility to the DI-5xx and DI-6xx routers, including port forwarding, filtering and adequate wireless security. For the price I paid through CostCentral, I couldn't be more pleased.

Strengths: Compact design, lightweight, user friendly, convenient carrying case
Weaknesses: Difficult to diagnosis if problems occur
Summary: The D-Link wireless pocket router is an excellent travel companion due to its size. It sure beats carrying around a 4-port wireless router. It can even be powered by your USB port! It's really useful when I stay at hotels with a LAN port, as I can use the Internet wirelessly from my room on multiple computers. I would definitely recommend it for any traveler.

Strengths: Small, portable, easy to set up, and works well
Weaknesses: none yet
Summary: This is a must have tool if you travel to locations with limited access. Rather than share a one wire, everyone can work.
