Perfect for travel

The HooToo is small and compact, has an Ethernet interface clamp, a wireless module, a USB 2.0 interface and can be operated and charged via micro USB. In addition, it is available as an external battery. The casing is glossy and delicate.

The use as a wireless router is done via an Ethernet cable so that the TripMate is connected directly to a router. The user interface is accessed by entering 10.10.10.254 in the address bar. The User INTERFCE is only available in English and two Asian languages. It is clearly structured and self-explanatory, with a little understanding of IT. , After completing the configuration, the router via wireless signals are transmitted via the HooToo. A non-wireless enabled router is therefore able to transmit signals wirelessly.

To use as a wireless repeater you have to the A / OFF button Hold for longer so you activate the HooToo and a wireless connection is established. The safety code is in the factory setting 11111111. Once the wireless connection is established, the UI is also achieved through the input of 10.10.10.254 in the address bar. It now has to be entered for existing Wi-Fi network and the HooToo works as a repeater and can extend the reach of existing WLANs still access data.

Network attached storage (NAS): there is a USB 2.0 port to which a USB stick or a hard disk (up to 4TB) can be connected to the side of the box. If this is done, all devices on the network access to this. Absolutely cool feature. This can for example easily access by mobile phone on a USB stick ect. This opens up en masse options and simplifies the exchange of data of many devices tremendously. For a very big thumbs up.

My conclusion: The Trip Mate is a handy and good all-round mini-routers are on the go. The price-performance ratio is very good. It offers easy operation and many functions.
