The new product offers 5 different modes: Access Point, Ethernet Bridge, Repeater, Point-to-Point Bridging, and Point-to-Multipoint Bridging. The new EZ Connect™ g 802.11g Wireless Traveler’s Kit is the perfect business traveler’s companion. Imagine checking into your hotel room with broadband connection after a long day’s trip, plug in your SMCWTK-G as your Personal Access Point, you can now enjoy and relax at your bed or sofa in your room to check email or surf the Internet."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/SMCWTK.gif" /><br /><br />This looks like a really neat and compact all-in-one device that allows one to bridge two networks as well as operate as a wireless signal repeater. The EZ Connect supports 64/128bit WEP. Even though the SMC site claims that it is available now, I was unable to find pricing on it at most major online retailers. Maybe it is a 'coming soon'.

Looks pretty slick, nice for those on a PC who want something like the Airport Express. :)

Airport Express has a Windows configuration utility. You can set it up by Mac or Win.

Didn't know that, thanks for the clarification. Don't know that many PC people want to buy any Apple product, however, so this may be just the thing for those. :D

iPod anyone. Apple's sold a ton of these to Windows users.

This looks suspiciously like Asus's 802.11b offering (http://usa.asus.com/products/communication/wireless/wl-330/overview.htm). Except this is purple.
