Does anyone know anything about this or know of any similar devices? I can't find a review or manual anywhere.

Currently when traveling on business, I bring a wireless router with me so me and my roommate can both surf for the price of one. With a lot of in-room internet becoming wireless-only, this may be good to have if I'm able to connect to the hotel's wireless, then share it (without using Windows ICS). Also, this would be a lot easier to carry than a router.

User Manual here. Looks like the actual manufacturer, too.

It appears to be a standard 802.11b card but with different drivers and some bundled software. It's pretty cheap tho so I guess it can't hurt to give it a go.
