If you travel with a laptop, you can kiss goodbye getting down on your knees to hunt for the always-too-short in-room Internet cables. Apple’s AirPort Express is a sweet 7-ounce unit that looks similar to an Apple Laptop power supply cord. However, instead of plugging directly into your computer, it has three small ports on the back. Simply find an outlet, plug the hotel’s ethernet cable into the back of the AirPort, and create an instant wireless network. Take that, you damnable wireless-less hotel! With the in-unit USB port, you can also charge your iPod as you work.
When you’re not traveling, you can use the unit at home to boost your wireless signal, or you can connect your stereo system to the audio cable that’s included in the (optional) AirPort Express Stereo Connection Kit, letting you shuffle through all those Def Leppard songs in your iTunes collection.
Don’t have an Apple? Don’t worry: the device is PC-compatible. You can get one for $80-90 on Amazon.
