Just got a hot deal at Newegg for a travel router for $15 after rebate.

Newegg.com - ASUS WL-330gE IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g 4-in-one portable wireless router=

I guess I'll see how it works in a few days.

PC Magazine wrote an article about the ZuniConnect Travel which works very well for connecting a iPad (or any other Wi-Fi enabled device) to a wired network. The thing that is really cool about this product is that it has a built in USB charger that is capable of charging the iPad.

I came accross this after searching for options.

Connectify for Windows - Turn your Laptop or Smartphone into a Secure Wi-Fi Hotspot

My wife always uses her laptop when we travel so it's pretty awesome. Installed it and worked perfect. Great option for those with a Win 7 laptop.
Connected my ipad and my Droid 2 onto the network created by Connectify with no problems.

Heres a great solution. I just returned from a trip to Europe and many hotels there do not provide a wifi connection only an in-room ethernet connection. I carry a Cradlepoint CTR500 router with me when I travel. It has just about any kind of connectivity that you need. It has ethernet, a usb and express slot for cellular data cards of just about any kind. It is a full featured router with failover to to get to the internet through any of the connected gateways. It has just about any kind of security you can think of builtin. It is powered by an included a/c adapter which works well with power from 120-240 volts. I went to radio shack and bought a cigarette lighter adapter and power it in my truck. I have an at&t express wifi card that I use in my truck and have a nice wifi hotspot using the device. I had my own wifi network in the hotels in Europe using their ethernet connection. Just a thought.

I use the Zuni Connect to convert a wired hotel connection to my own personal Wi-Fi network from their wired in-room connection. I use the Zuni to connect my iPad and iPhone to the Internet using a single connection. Also, the Zuni has a built-in USB charging ports which is very convenient and allows me to leave my Apple wall AC adapter at home.
