ZuniConnect Travel IV (ZTRP150) Review

ZuniConnect Travel IV (ZTRP150)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

I purchased direct from the manufacturer as it was out of stock at Amazon.

Some may ask why there is a need for a router when traveling. I do a lot of international travel and carry a laptop, iPad, Kindle and Windows Mobile 7 phone. All need internet access. A personal router gives you this.

Some hotels may have wireless but they will charge you for each connected device. Ouch. A personal router avoids this.
The router can be used with a wired or wireless connection.

This router features two RJ-45 ports. So you can have the hotel internet into the router and can then connect your laptop with the other port. This allows you to have your laptop with a wired connection and all your other gear wireless.
The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Make sure you change the routers password and set up wireless passwords (easy to do from the included control panel).

The unit also includes (2) USB charging ports and it evens charges my iPad!

Also in the package is a 7 foot RJ-45 cable.

On my unit, the lettering for the USB charge ports (Normal / Turbo) is hard to read. The labeling on the units side are less visible then the units top. The top labels are bright white and very legible.

My only complaint is the power adapter (2.5 x 1.75 x 1 inches). I wish it were a little smaller and had foldable prongs. You can see a picture of it in the Amazon photos where they show the carry case. I contacted support and they responded the right away with a great explanation about the power needs for both the router and the (2) USB charging ports. They are looking into a smaller lighter adapter.

PCMAG.com has a great review of the router at [...]

If you travel and carry gadgets that use the internet, this is a must have device. I have tried other routers and this is without question the best!

Product Description

Product Overview: Designed for people on-the-go, this travel friendly device lets you create a secure wireless network whenever a wired or wireless Broadband connection is available, and it also provides a convenient QuickCharge station that provides the fasted possible recharging of portable electronic devices like: cell phones, smart phones, tablet/pad computers, e-readers, MP3 players, digital cameras, and portable gaming systems. Convenient & Easy-to-Use High Speed Wireless Routing: This high-speed wireless router allows Internet ready devices a convenient way to connect to and share a wired Broadband connection. This is especially convenient for smartphones, tablet PC’s, and e-reader users since most of these products lack a traditional RJ-45 Ethernet port needed to plug in a network cable. Utilizing patent pending Intelli+IP technology, this device easily creates a reliable and secure wireless network from a wired Broadband connection. Once established, users can connect multiple devices to a personal Wi-Fi Hotspot, which is useful for tradeshows, hotel rooms, or anywhere multiple users need to share an Internet connection. Wireless ISP Mode: Using this mode will allow the ZuniConnect Travel to use an existing wireless network signal as the WAN (Internet) connection instead of relying on a wired one. This mode is great for providing access to users in locations where no wired Broadband connection is available, but a wireless one is. Smart USB Charging Station with QuickCharge Technology: Our patent pending process, incorporating smart power charging technology, permits the simultaneous charging of multiple devices such as a smart phone, tablet computer, or e-reader from one convenient location. Travelers won’t have to use the plug in the bathroom to charge their personal electronics, nor do they have to carry all the heavy/bulky wall charger transformers with them. The QuickCharge port provides additional power and will provide faster charging.
