Review: I was ready to dig into the advanced settings and spend a good hour to set it up just right - This review is for the mini stick shaped version (BR-6258nL). It is absolutely tiny. Set up was a breeze. Having used many routers by many different vendors in the past, I was ready to dig into the advanced settings and spend a good hour to set it up just right. Boy, was I wrong. Set up literally took 3 minutes. Your grandma can probably do it. As soon as I selected the router name in the wireless connection settings of my tablet (I'm sure it would work the same on a laptop as well) it connected and prompted to open the router page (the same way when you connect to a hotel wifi and you get the prompt for the terms and conditions page) and it fired up the browser window and opened the set up page. The router set up page asked a few questions about how I wanted to connect it, the explanation for each item was written for a layperson, the router restarted itself a couple of times through the process and it was set up. I couldn't believe how streamlined the process was. I previously purchased the TP-LINK TL-WR702N Wireless N150 Travel Router, Nano Size, Router/AP/Client/Bridge/Repeater Modes, 150Mbps, USB Powered for the same purpose and that thing was a mess. The set up page was confusing, wifi selection page never opened on my computer and caused the router to restart itself. Settings were very confusing, I had to factory reset it mutiple times because I kept losing access to the set up page (due to messing with DHCP settings). Most importantly, although it is advertised as a travel router, it doesn't work well at hotels with no ethernet. For the technical folk, that router doesn't have wisp mode, in other words it doesn't do DHCP and NAT except when in the hardwired router mode. In wifi modes, all DHCP requests are passed on to the hotel router. So forget about using a streamer with no browser or sharing the same wireless connection for multiple devices, Anyway, back to the Edimax. This router is perfect for hotel use. a) If there is ethernet, plug the ethernet cable into the wan port, connect to the router from any device, go to the set up page (192.168.8.1) and go through the set up options to select ethernet. Boom. Done. b) If there is only wireless, connect to the router and open the set up page, select wifi, select the hotel wifi from the list. Boom. Done. If the hotel wifi has a terms and conditions page or a login page where you enter the room number and last name, the first device to try and connect to the internet will have to accept it, after that all other devices will be free to surf. That's because this router has wisp mode, where it connects to the hotel router as a client, and then broadcasts a separate wifi network that your devices are a part of. The hotel thinks that all the communications are coming from one device (the Edimax router). The wisp mode allows two great advantages for travelers: 1) Some hotels charge for wifi connections, this router will let you shared that with multiple devices without paying for each device. 2) Unlike the Tp-link listed above, this router allows devices without browsers to be able to connect to hotel wifi (only the first device has to accept the terms and conditions). So Chromecast works, fire tv's and roku's work as well. Even though I said I didn't have to dig into the advanced settings, I still browsed through them because of curiosity and to change the password for the set up page. I was shocked to see as many options as my full size router at home. This is not a watered down product at all. Whereas the Tp-link was definitely watered down and it was missing many features like firewall or QOS management, etc. This one has it all. Cons: Really only one, there is no ethernet cord included. The Tp-link came with a really nice, tiny flat cord (first time I saw a flat ethernet cord, pretty cool). I wish this one included something similar. And also fyi, there is no power adapter, but there is a built-in usb cable that you can plug into any usb port (not really a con). Review: My handy little travel companion. - This is a great little gadget. I wanted something smaller than my Airport Express when I travel and this fit the bill. Easy setup though extended period does disconnect sometimes so you have to reboot it. I love that you can plug it into any usb charger or the USB port of your laptop for power. Works great as WISP. I set it up with the same SSID & password as my home network so that all my devices connect automatically. ## Features - Miniature, space-saving, stylish: Compact size and multiple features for every modern traveler and businessman. - Access Keeper: Remembers the login information and settings for a connection, and automatically applies them the next time the user tries to log on there - Powered by USB port: Powered by a laptop's USB port or by a portable USB adapter, no external power adapter required - Complies with IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards, up to 150Mbps - 3-in-1 operations: Router, access point, WISP(Wireless ISP) mode - Secured wireless encryption: WEP 64/128 bit, WPA and WPA2 - Multiple wireless devices, including smartphones, Ultrabook's, and tablet computers, can go online at same time - Smart iQ Setup: Features iQ Setup for smart and automatic quick installation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ADHPP6Y | | Antenna Location | Home | | Brand | Edimax | | Color | White | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Smartphone, Tablet | | Connectivity Technology | Ethernet, USB | | Control Method | Touch | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 104 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 150 megabits_per_second | | Frequency | 2.4 GHz | | Frequency Band Class | Single-Band | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00132018276525, 04710700929124 | | Item Weight | 10 g | | LAN Port Bandwidth | 150 Mbps | | Manufacturer | Edimax Computer Company | | Maximum Upstream Data Transfer Rate | 150 megabits_per_second | | Mfr Part Number | BR-6258nL | | Model Name | BR-6258nL | | Model Number | BR-6258nL | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Operating System | ZyNOS | | Other Special Features of the Product | Access Point Mode | | Security Protocol | WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK | | Special Feature | Access Point Mode | | UPC | 616268716340 801038396741 172304261217 132018276525 649659019775 115971589130 506129847828 | | Voltage | 5 volts_of_direct_current | | Warranty Description | 2-year limited manufacturer's warranty | | Wireless Communication Standard | 802.11n | | Wireless Compability | 802.11n | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Edimax - **Color:** White - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop, Smartphone, Tablet - **Connectivity Technology:** Ethernet, USB - **Frequency Band Class:** Single-Band - **Item Weight:** 10 g - **Model Name:** BR-6258nL - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Home - **Special Feature:** Access Point Mode - **Wireless Communication Standard:** 802.11n ## Images ![Edimax Travel Router Powered by USB Port with Smart iQ Setup for Easy Installation (BR-6258nL) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Ecm5cDKZL.jpg) ![Edimax Travel Router Powered by USB Port with Smart iQ Setup for Easy Installation (BR-6258nL) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31+jwSi2PoL.jpg) ![Edimax Travel Router Powered by USB Port with Smart iQ Setup for Easy Installation (BR-6258nL) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51HK9dzLkTL.jpg) ![Edimax Travel Router Powered by USB Port with Smart iQ Setup for Easy Installation (BR-6258nL) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31MOvPE+58L.jpg) ![Edimax Travel Router Powered by USB Port with Smart iQ Setup for Easy Installation (BR-6258nL) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51B7x3RSiwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was ready to dig into the advanced settings and spend a good hour to set it up just right *by P***E on January 7, 2016* This review is for the mini stick shaped version (BR-6258nL).

I wanted something smaller than my Airport Express when I travel and this fit the bill. Easy setup though extended period does disconnect sometimes so you have to reboot it. I love that you can plug it into any usb charger or the USB port of your laptop for power. Works great as WISP.

There are times when I find it very useful to disable the DHCP server, which disables the router function. And that allows wireless computers to be on the same domain as wired computers and printers on the network. The configuration screen includes an option box for the DHCP server. However, when I tried to use the setting, I found the only option is "Enable". I sent a tech support request using the web form and heard back from the now famous Judy the same day. Her answer clearly indicates she understood my question, understood the implications, and confirms that the DHCP server cannot be disabled. I'm disappointed. But I decided to keep the 5-star rating because this functionality is not required to allow the device to perform it's advertised purpose. And I must say it is very rare to get tech support this good. Most readers won't know what I'm writing about. But if you are the one-in-a-thousand readers who think this handy device might serve two disparate purposes, you should know that "you can't get there from here". *** This is an amazing device. For $20, it is an awesome device. We will take a trip to China. According to the hotel web sites, most of our rooms will have Internet access, but not WiFi. Every device we own requires WiFi, even my tablet / laptop. We need a device that turns internet into WiFi. I bought this and tried it at home. I followed the quick setup. Everything worked out of the gate. Besides connecting to hard-wired internet, the device has a WISP (Wireless ISP) mode. This lets the user log several devices into WIFI under one IP address. Some hotels charge for each device connected to their WiFi, so this can save some people money. The trick to making WISP useful is to allow the user to log into the hotel's web site. I have not personally tested this and I don't expect to find WISP useful. But other reviewers have confirmed it works. It's a very nice feature for those who benefit from it. I walked through the advanced settings. I was pleasantly surprised to find more features than I will ever want to use. I can't imagine anything I would want to do that this device can't do. In fact, I am wondering what it is that makes the more expensive WiFi routers worth so much money. I found one glitch, and it's a very small one. The router couldn't find the time service that it was programmed to use. Because of this, it didn't know the time or date. I'm not sure why it would ever be important for the router to have the correct date and time. But it's certainly easy enough to fix. You can find a list of time servers run by NIST (the US standards bureau) at tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi. I set the time service IP address to one of the NIST servers, and it worked right away. But this device isn't about advanced features and complex configurations. It's about making it very easy to connect your WiFi devices to either hard-wired internet or WiFi. The genius is that the default configuration and feature set makes this so easy to do, in a form factor that is perfect for travel, and at an amazingly low price. Edimax has a winner here. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/2006848-edimax-travel-router-powered-by-usb-port-with-smart-iq](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/2006848-edimax-travel-router-powered-by-usb-port-with-smart-iq) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-24*
