Bottom Line:
Whether on the road or at home, WJ found the Netgear Trek N300 to be very handy. The range extender feature is ideal for using a laptop or device in another room or part of the house. The firewall security that is added by using this gadget is priceless when away from home and on a public WiFi service (even one that is password protected). We will continue to take this on all our future travels.
