Brilliant little device! Got one for ~ $22 and we'll worth the money.

  Can this one be used with usb tethering to phone?
  
  When we are down at the van, i would like to plug in my phone to it, and usb tether to this device. then everyone has wi fi from my phone. would most likely work better (more juice) that the phones wifi hotspot.
  - ethanol on 16/01/2013 - 23:41
    
    According to the 1st post here, should be possible : http://lmgtfy.com/?q=usb+tether+wr-703n
    
    you might have to put Openwrt or ddWRT onto it.

    Why not just create a Wifi access point directly from your phone?
    Makes no sense to buy an extra device to do something your phone can already do!

  Good call, ordered the 703n off Ebay for $22.
- xotic on 17/01/2013 - 13:01
  
  Can the 703n be used in conjunction with a EOP combination to extend wifi to another room where the signal is week?
  
  My setup is EOP connected to Optus cable modem/router and I have another EOP which I am thinking of connecting to a device like the 703n in another room to extend my wifi?
  
  Would it work?

    as far as the device attached to the end is concerned, it's just standard ethernet coming in, makes no difference how your ethernet got there
    
    so yes it will work fine

      excellent, thanks. will go for the 703n then,

Agree this is a excellent device. However eBay is selling from $17.75 - everyday normal price: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/COOL-TP-Link-TL-WR702N-Portable-M…

Payment by Paypal also means you get buyer's protection if anything goes wrong

  Yeah - saw that but the 98% feedback (200+ negatives per month put me off) - couldn't see a seller around that price with 99.5%+

TL-WR720N - The latest model which has 2 LAN port and 3G compatibility, USD30 shipped:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/TP-LINK-TL-WR720N-150Mbps-Min…

Can be powered by mini-USB. Alternatively can use the USB port to recharge your mobile devices.
- ethanol on 17/01/2013 - 00:47
  
  Looks interesting - can it be powered by USB or just the US pins? -
  
  [EDIT] Answered my Q - looks like it can - there is a micro USB pic further down w/ POWER next to it.
  
  Any spec sheets? Its all in Chinese and when searching for that model on google TP Link is showing a different model : http://www.tp-link.com.au/products/details/?model=TL-WR720N
  
  Like the idea of this (adding a 3G USB stick) and sharing connection that way if needed (e.g. travelling).

quarrymaster on 17/01/2013 - 00:33

I've got the green one. Thing is in Chinese and I couldn't flash it over to English. Not sure if this is now possible officially.

I use it to add a cheap way for my Blu-ray player to get access to my wireless network. It plugs in to the ethernet port and is powered by the USB port.

anyone know if one of these types of devices could be used to share content on a USB stick over WiFi to a phone / Tablet?
- ESEMCE on 17/01/2013 - 09:02
  
  Better off spending slightly more and buying a WiFi modem.
  It may be possible to do, but it will be complicated to set up, plus it means remembering to take 2 devices (plus their respective power supplies and accessories).
  - ethanol on 17/01/2013 - 11:41

Excellent devices but there are so many models and variations of these things!

The very latest one linked above and not yet showing on TP-Links website is supposedly this:http://www.aliexpress.com/item/TP-LINK-TL-WR720N-150Mbps-Mini-Portable-3G-WiFi-Wireless-Router-AP/714375947.html

But I am not sure what exactly it does that this current model that is on the website does
http://www.tp-link.com.au/products/details/?categoryid=218&m…

Seems similar with heaps of overlap
bigosmallo on 17/01/2013 - 09:13

Would get it if it was 300mbps
- King Tightarse on 17/01/2013 - 09:19
  
  They do this if you need 3G and 300mbps not compact though.

10101010101 on 17/01/2013 - 09:23

would using one of these as an access point for a PS3 be better than using the internal wireless-G of the PS3? I have a 300Mbps wifi router but it can't stream HD or Full HD to the PS3 and sometimes jumps playing SD content.
- Wimma on 17/01/2013 - 09:53
  
  If nothing else, it might get you a clearer signal from a better location (ie put the device outside/on top of a cabinet). That's assuming you can set it up as an AP (no probs for a dd-wrt model).
  Bit confusing deciphering the different models. 720N looks a bit bigger with 2 LAN ports, but they all seem to state 3G usb support anyway.
  Have to research DD-WRT support…
- quarrymaster on 17/01/2013 - 10:14
  
  It should in theory, being wireless N and 150Mbps - and then routing through to ethernet. Unless you use a separate charger, it will use up one of your precious USB ports.
- chyawala on 17/01/2013 - 12:25
  
  May be worthwhile going for one with an external antenna, and even 300mbps if not too much of a price jump. For gaming it makes no difference other than greater wifi range.
Vortex99 on 17/01/2013 - 10:25

Been looking for something like this for ages - good price. Ended up getting the 703N for a bit more as it support DD-WRT.
I really like the look of TL-MR3020 - but nearly double the price.
endlesstrail on 17/01/2013 - 10:56

Would this (150mbps speed) be fast enough to stream the TV on demand in my Sony blu ray player?

  Should be. I stream 1080p over 54Mbps and it's fine.

ChimDen on 17/01/2013 - 11:48

this sounds like a better alternative option to Ethernet over power line?
ethanol on 17/01/2013 - 21:59

This one could be the best option : HAME-MPR-A2 (includes Media sharing as well) :

Hi there,

My Wifi signal is too weak for my Android Smart TV to pick up the signal. Is it possible to use this device plugged in to my laptop?

This was posted 11 years 3 months 14 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
