But what if you could do that all in one compact device that would be even cooler, right? If you’ve got an Apple Airport Express you can take care of some of the networking problems, and we all know there are zillions of cool battery chargers for your devices, and we’ve even talked about devices that let you share music and movies between your mobile devices. You’re too cheap to pay for a VPN service but still want to be safe on free networks, both wired and wireless Note: Bart explained after I posted that a router does NOT stop man in the middle attacks so a VPN is still required for public wired/wireless Internet safety.You have wifi in your hotel room but they charge for extra devices to connect.You’re often on a trip with multiple mobile devices and you wish all of them could have access to the same movies or music.You’ve got good wifi in your house but there’s that one room where it just doesn’t quite reach.You have a lot of devices and at any given time at least one or two of them needs a battery charge.For the rest of the trip you’re wandering the corners of the room trying to get a good enough wifi signal to send a tweet while he’s over there laughing at cat videos on Ethernet You’re at a hotel and your husband rushes into the room and calls dibs on the wired Ethernet in the room.Now that I’ve given this giant preamble, let’s identify the problems we’re trying to solve for which the TripMate TM05 might be the solution. I guess that’s better than if I had told you all about it and before you could push buy the price went up, right? The good news is that I can give you instead a review of the TripMate Titan Versatile Wirless N Travel Router, or TripMate TM05 for short. But by that time, I went online and instead of the $54 I paid for the device, the device has skyrocketed to $130 for used ones because HooToo appears to have discontinued the product! Grrr. Ok, fine, now I was ready to tell you all about the TM04 since my writeup was 90% finished. Of course nothing at all was wrong with the device, it was the 2.4GHz network problem I discussed earlier. She even went so far as to send me a review unit of the TripMate TM05 in case something was wrong with the TM-04. Remember my discussion about how I have my networks combined and because of that I keep having trouble setting up networking devices that require 2.4GHz? Well I worked for WEEKS on the HooToo Tripmate Elite with Amy from HooToo to try and figure out why I couldn’t connect to the Internet with it. Before I get into details here, HooToo has created many products, some of which include portable router capability. A while ago he posted about a cool looking product called the HooToo Tripmate Elite HT-TM04, and I ran out and bought it immediately. George from Tulsa has been on a tear in the NosillaCast G+ community lately posting all kinds of cool deals on tech gadgets.
