ASCII.jp Travel router "WMR-433W" required for travel and business trips: Xperia peripheral device

On a trip or business trip, you stay at the hotel where you stay, how do you secure the internet environment at that time?Recently, it has become convenient not only for wired LAN but also for wireless LANs on each floor.

However, it is always the world that things never work.If you check in, there are only wired LANs in the room, or wireless LAN may be useless.In order to use Xperia's mobile lines, it is often the case that it does not go well, such as a radio environment where the antenna is not standing.

Even if you can use a mobile line, if you are in the hotel and consume a packet, you will feel the inconvenience that you can watch videos slowly and not to update the app.

There is an item to use in such a case, and the buffalo travel router "WMR-433W" is quite useful.I imagined it was a big one from the sound of the word wireless router, but when I saw the package, I was quite surprised that it was small and light.

The size is 45 x 45 x 15mm and the weight is about 19g.It is a compactness that can be thrown into a bag without worrying about whether to bring it.Wireless LAN is IEEE802.11a/b/g/n/AC compatible and almost full of main standards.

The compact body includes a wired LAN, a microUSB for power supply, a WPS button, 5GHz/2.There is a 4GHz switch switch.You can also check the power supply, link, and active status with LED.

The probability of wired LAN in the hotel room is high, so let's connect the WMR-433W with a LAN cable.With this work, you can connect to a wireless LAN and use the net with your equipment.It is comfortable if you carry multiple XPERIA units, or even if you have a PC or game console, you can connect them all.

Conversely, the hotel may only have wireless LANs.In such a case, you can switch to "wireless WAN mode", broadcast the hotel wireless LAN with WMR-433W and use wireless LAN in the same way as a wired LAN.

It is easy to think, "Should I connect Xperia directly to the hotel wireless LAN?" If you are worried about the security of public wireless LAN, you can ensure security by going through a travel router that requires authentication.There is a merit that you can do it.

If WMR-433W has finished the connection settings for Xperia and other devices in advance, the trouble of connecting everywhere you go is a long time.

The most wireless router is security authentication, such as buying a new Xperia.Fortunately, the WMR-433W is very small, so checking a security key on the back of the main unit is much easier than a large-defined wireless router.However, as the number of devices on hand increases, repeating the same work becomes really painful.

Recent buffalo wireless routers come with a "setup card" with SSID and encryption keys, and a QR code is installed on the back.

Download the "QRSetup" app with Xperia and read this QR code to automatically process the connection between the Xperia and the travel router and the security settings.By the way, it is also compatible with WPS, and simply pressing the WPS button to each other will complete the settings without doing any input work.WPS is more convenient for game consoles and printers.

It's a waste to use a travel router only when traveling or traveling, so you'll want to use it at home.If you already have a router, you can use "Bridge mode" to use the router at home.

In some cases, even if wireless LAN cannot be used in friends or relatives' homes, you can get permission and use the network.If you do not use the Internet but want to use only local networks, you can also use "local mode" for wireless LAN.

As for the appearance, the classic color "Black", "White", "Passion Red", "Ocean Blue", and "Pink Gold" are limited to "Ash Silver", "Turquoise Blue", and "Copper Brown" as a limited color.You can choose a total of 8 colors and a total of 8 colors.

I chose passion red by promise.If you coordinate the terminal color of Xperia, you will feel quite uplifted.There is no doubt that travel and business trips will be quite easy if you have one mobile router.
