TP-Link has expanded its lineup with a new 802.11n pocket router and a portable router for 3G modems. The pocket router enables users create a Wi-Fi network after connecting it to a network or DSL/Cable modem via Ethernet. Users can also configure the device to work as a range extender or a wireless bridge.
The portable router provides a USB port that is compatible with many 3G modems that utilize HSPA, UMTS or EVDO standards. The device does not provide an internal battery, requiring power to be provided via USB or an external adapter. Plus, it can also be used as aWi-Fi access point, range extender or bridge.
The pocket router is expected to ship on November 23 for $30, while the 3G router will not arrive until December 14 for $40.
