TRENDnet Wireless N 300 Mbps Travel Router Kit, TEW-654TR

Your Personal, Secure Wi-Fi Network for the Road

As a tech writer who travels over 100 days a year, I've learned one thing the hard way: never trust public Wi-Fi. It's often slow, unreliable, and worst of all, insecure. Hotels that offer a "free" connection frequently have you paying in other ways—dropped video calls, snail-paced downloads, and exposing your devices on an open network. That’s why the TRENDnet TEW-654TR Travel Router isn't just a gadget in my bag; it's an essential piece of my travel security kit.

This tiny device solves a huge problem. Most hotel rooms still have a physical Ethernet jack in the wall, offering a fast, stable connection. The TEW-654TR instantly converts that single wired port into your own private, password-protected Wireless N hotspot. This means you can securely connect your laptop, smartphone, tablet, and smart TV all at once, often using just one paid connection. With speeds up to 300 Mbps, it’s more than fast enough for HD streaming, large file transfers, and video conferencing without a single hiccup.

The Ultimate in Convenience and Portability

Unlike bulky home routers, the TRENDnet travel router is truly pocket-sized—smaller than a deck of cards and weighing next to nothing. It's designed with the traveler in mind. It doesn't even need a clunky AC adapter; it's powered by an included USB cable, so you can plug it into your laptop, a power bank, or a standard phone charger. Setup is simple and web-based, with no drivers to install, so it works flawlessly with any device you travel with.

This router effectively creates a secure firewall between your devices and the public internet, protecting you from potential snoops on the same network. Stop paying per-device Wi-Fi fees and quit gambling with your digital security. For only $18.00, this travel router kit is one of the smartest, most cost-effective investments a frequent traveler can make.
