JiWire's Quick Take
Likes
Only Wi-Fi travel router to include dialup option, no software to install, has built-in phone numbers for major ISPs, plug-and-play Wi-Fi, extra Ethernet port.
Dislikes
Have to switch manually between broadband and dialup, 802.11b only, no WPA support, some dialup ISPs not supported.
Good for
Frequent travelers who sometimes stay in hotels without broadband, and home users who want to share a dialup connection wirelessly.
Bad for
Those who'd rather drive 50 miles to the nearest hotspot than use dialup any more!
More online reviews
PC Magazine "Until now, if you were a dial-up Internet user and wanted to share your Internet connection, your choices were limited -- especially if you were interested in having a wireless network. At the very least, you'd have to cobble together several pieces of hardware. Not anymore."
CNET "The WiFlyer adds Wi-Fi to dial-up connections or adds Wi-Fi to wired broadband on the road. It's pricey, though, and its performance is erratic."
