Picture the scene… You are travelling on business, and the hotel you have checked into doesn’t have wi-fi throughout. Other than a small, uncomfortable area of the lobby that is covered by a patchy (and potentially insecure) wi-fi hotspot, the only internet connectivity is provided by an Ethernet connection in your room. Unfortunately, being the tech-savvy person that you are, none of your devices: your ultraportable laptop, your tablet or your smartphone, actually has an Ethernet port that you could use.
Thankfully Kanex have a great little gadget up their sleeve for solving just this problem: the mySpot pocket-sized Wi-Fi connection.
I just want to say this now… I love this little device – it is just so easy to use. Simply plug the Ethernet cable into one end and then plug the USB plug into a powered USB port, and boom – you’ve got your very own little wi-fi hotspot. Once you are up and running, you can secure the connection by easily changing the SSID, adding a password and changing the wi-fi channel by visiting a settings page using your browser.
There really is very little else to say about this device – it is so simple to use but extremely effective, and it could really get you out of a bind if you find yourself in a situation similar to that described above. In my mind, it should be in the laptop bag of every seasoned traveller.For more information or to buy the Kanex mySpot, visit their website at:
