The Bottom Line The APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router can't match the ease of use, range, or warranty of the travel-router competition. If you need a cellular router, the Kyocera KR1 is the one to go for--if you live in EV-DO country. The OfficeConnect Travel Router is light and portable. Unfortunately, it's neither as elegantly designed nor as full featured as Apple's more expensive AirPort Express. If you live in an area covered by a 3G data network and need mobile Internet access for multiple users, the 3G Phoebus MB6000 cellular router is a good bet. The WGR101 has a couple of nice touches you won't find in other travel routers. Unfortunately, it's neither as elegantly designed nor as full featured as Apple's more expensive AirPort Express.
