This review is from: PLANEX Wireless-N Router & Access Point -Multi-Function Wireless Pocket Router/WiFi AP/Wireless Converter 3 in1 Supports Nintendo DS/DSi/Wii, Sony PSP/PS3/Xbox360 with Three mode switches; WiFi Router/Access Point/Converter with Mutli SSID support and 2 wire ports EN, Fast EN, IEEE 802.11n Internet Router AP MZK-MF150 Designed in Japan (Personal Computers)

I bought this as an alternative to the expensive Microsft wifi adapter for the Xbox 360. I purchased it in February and have been using it ever since with no problems what so ever. The initial set up was little confusing but I was able to figure it out and has been working excellent since. For anyone looking for an alternative wifi adapter for you Xbox 360, PSP and others this is the way to go. I like the fact that this is Draft n with 150Mbps can be used an access point or router as well. This size is so small and compact that it is perfect for anyone who is traveling. I do a little bit of traveling and am considering purchasing another one. I was considering giving it 4 stars because of the interface and set up but have to give it a 5 because it works so well.

I have always use Linksys before I run across this by accident, and for $32 this is a great little gem for all of your travel wireless needs. This device can function as a router, an access point, a wireless bridge back to wire connection, or as a signal repeater. It is about 2/3 the size of the iPod classic, and the AC adapter supports both 110/240 and it is about 1 x 1.5 inches. I found that the AP mode (physical switch on the side) is very helpful to get around some of the network issue, especially if your connection normally does not allow multiple wireless access. Once slight problem is that you cannot access your router settings when it is in AP mode, but this is an minor issue as you can always switch back to router mode for configurations.

My bottom line is that the Planex MZK-MF150 is excellent for travel and / or deployment. Here is the link to its online manual:

After 8 days of waiting. The tiny cute box finally arrived in my mail box. I was too excited to try it out since I was eager to have a device like this for my traveling. I travel a lot for my own business and I need to use my laptop and Vonage at the same time at the hotel room. This device,if it works, will get great companion to me. However, more excitement, more disappointment.

I have been spending hours trying to make the router work but it just did not work at all. Though I need this route to have static IP, it is supposedly work like DHCP. I spend 2 hours trying to make it work but could not make it work.

Then, I think it will be still cool if it works as access point. I switch it to AP mode and glade to know it is able to pint the DLink router IP. I try to access some web site and I found it is very slow for some reason. Then I try to ping some web site IP address and I found at least 50% of the package drops. That explains why AP make the web browsing so slow since packages get lost.

I keep trying to contact the phone number on the menu to get support, but it keeps saying the phone number is busy. I don't even know if the phone is still on service or not though it is regular business at their location.

I finally give it up and next I will request an RMA number to return.
