Always On Wireless WiFlyer
Reviewed on December 21, 2004
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.

T-Mobile HotSpot
Reviewed on December 14, 2005
If you're a Windows user with a taste for Starbucks lattes, you'll love T-Mobile's slick, safe, and easy-to-use HotSpot service, although you'll pay a premium to use it.

Tritton WiFi NAS
Reviewed on December 8, 2004
Combining 120GB or 200GB of storage space and an 802.11g access point, the Tritton WiFi NAS is a wireless data archive. But its steep price tag, poor performance, and weak security give competing NAS units the upper hand.

Siemens SpeedStream Wireless USB Adapter
Reviewed on June 24, 2003
Siemens's SpeedStream 1022 wireless USB adapter is a good choice for anyone looking to connect a desktop to an 802.11b network, but consider a PC Card adapter for your notebook.

SMC SMCWTK-G Traveler's Kit
Reviewed on March 25, 2005

Toshiba MyConnect
Reviewed on January 12, 2006
If you're still relying on dial-up and Ethernet connections when you're on the road, Toshiba's MyConnect service makes for a compelling option, but Boingo and T-Mobile HotSpot offer better all-around packages.
