I'd been sitting on the fence thinking about getting one, and even added it to my wishlist for xmas.. and today I noticed the price drop. Mine will be running openwrt fairly soon after getting it!

The 150Mbs version was £7 in Sainsburys earlier in the year but this 300Mbs version is tempting.

Same price at John Lewis with three year guarantee

Can this be powered from the usb port? This is sometimes more convenient particularly when travelling abroad

Technophobe question here, if I have an old desktop pc with no built in WiFi but it is too far away from the home router to be cabled with an ethernet cable but within WiFi range, can I use this to pick up the WiFi signal and then connect from this to the desktop pc via ethernet cable to provide Internet connection? Or would a built in wireless card be a better option?

Does anyone with one of these know if you can use them in hotels/offices which have a hotspot sign-in type landing page? You know, where you connect to the WiFi and then have to fill in details before your traffic is allowed through. Thanks

Yes it can, there's a mode setting within the settings to set this up

we have Ethernet points throughout the house, can this be plugged in to create a wifi signal to the areas that the main router doesn't reach?

Thanks OP, bought today having just renewed my Prime for £39 (AMEX offer + Amazon CS discount). It was £14.95, seems to be a real bargain and very flexible too. Will just have to try and see if I can use hotspot sign-in (web authentication) but willing to give it a go at this price.

These must be hell for hotels, people creating another wireless network with possible interference for the hotels provided service.

HOT OP. Thanks.

Mine just arrived. What's in the box?

Would this make it safer to use the internet in a hotel, can you make a password so people cant connect to your network?

only suitable for travel within the UK or for stunters that would like to build wonky power tower adaptor stacks.

Should have been delivered with EU clip on at least and TP-link do not offer the part as a spare.

Got this and plugged it into my wired switch in the loft to create a more powerful access point in the loft.
Works great.
Only problem is I cannot connect to the TP-links Web admin pages.
Tried the http://tplinkwifi.net/ but that either gives DNS errors or says 'Oops you are not connected to your TP-link network'
I checked my main Asus Wifi router for attached devices and the Tp-Link does not appear in the list.
It does list the laptop I connected wirelessly to the Tp-Link as a wired connection!!

Does anyone know how to access the admin web pages? I also tried the usual 192.168.1.1 etc but that just takes me to my main Wifi router...

​I bet most of those 99% of small appliances do not get labelled a "travel" device. There are about a gazillion competing devices out there that are called just what they are without pretending to ve suited for something they are not (or no more then (cheaper) alternatives).

Have to agree with you. Might be a small thing, but when something gets labelled a travel device then is should be able to travel without additional adaptors etc.
I think the overall device is quite clunky sized - I would have preferred if it was flatter and wider rather than sticking out so much. Cant plug it into a socket behind a cupboard without moving the cupboard forward several inches.
Also cant go under the cupboard on an extension socket - even though there is considerable clearance!

Just to answer my own question - in case it help anyone else; I had to unplug the ethernet cable from the Tp-Link and then I can access the Admin pages. Once the ethernet cable is plugged in and connected to the main router you can no longer access the tp-link admin pages.

quick read of posts but forgive me for asking.... I want a wireless internet extender as router is at one side of house and don't get any/great signal at other end. I need a TP Link just to have the wireless signal spread around house?

Thanks
