Here's A Smaller 802.11b Router
PPCT reader DrtyBlvd originally meant to send us this link, which is even smaller than the APC unit I mentioned a couple of hours ago. :lol:
"As small as a deck of cards, the Pocket Wireless AP WL-330 is not only a wireless access point (AP) but also a wireless bridge/repeater and wireless Ethernet adapter; providing superior flexibility when building a wireless environment! Moreover, WL-330 is a plug n' play device. Set up a wireless environment is never difficult to you."
It's 2.2oz! 8O 8O At this size, corporate espionage might become trivial. I could just imagine the next generation of movies... instead of quietly walking into the boss's office of the EvilMegaCorporation, the hero would start whistling as he plugged one of these in behind the secretary's computer. :lol:

I did a quick search and found a short article on it. I would like to have this for traveling as well. It appears to be very flexible for the size. I would like to use this while visiting some family in AZ. The ethernet would be great for my laptop for serious work, or for being a bum using the wi fi.

Hopefully, I can find some better info on it.

The corporate espionage statement is at the same time cute and very scary. What is the best way, or methodology, or combination of hardware/software, or whatever of determining if someone actually has plugged one of these things into a corporate lan. How do you find these devices when you are not the person who planted them?

Not that any IT staff members would have the time, but I suppose you'd have to search the building for "bugs" like these every month or so. If you find an access point called "default" that has a 100% signal inside a broom closet, I'd say you've found your AP.

Will this device act as a stand-alone repeater? I have my Linksys router in a back room of my house. I can only access it with my Toshiba e740 up to about 30 ft away. To get to my front rooms, the signal has to pass through several walls and kitchen cabinets/closets. If I just plug the Asus in to a power source 30 ft from the Linksys will it forward the signals on another 30 ft or so? My front rooms are 40-60 ft from the Linksys.

It looks like it will, download the manual and take a look at Chapter 3 - Configuration. Go to WDS setup...
Link to manual download...
