Belkin Wireless G Travel Router lets you take your LAN on the road

The idea of taking a small wireless router with you when you travel is nothing new — Apple's Airport Express has been popular with business travelers seeking to turn their hotel room's wired connection into an instant wireless LAN. Now the Express (and all the rest) is getting some competition in the form of the Belkin Wireless G Travel Router, a palm-sized unit that carries a street price of about $60 — about half the cost of an Airport Express. Of course, it doesn't stream music from iTunes to a speaker system, but chances are that's not your number one priority in your hotel room anyhow.
