Pros: The HooToo TripMate Elite is a fast portable NAS, Router, and Bridge. When I first received the HooToo TripMate Elite I was skeptical on how a router and 6000mAh phone charger could fit into a device that fits in the palm of my hand, but after using it I was astounded. This device is portable, well built, fast, and works well. I have the Apple Airport Extreme that will output 20MBPS wireless, when I hooked up the HooToo TripMate to the modem instead of the AirPort Extreme, I was astounded at how good it preformed. The TripMate Elite is the perfect device for anyone and everyone.
Cons: The HooToo TripMate had an issue connecting as a bridge to my router, but I fixed it after changing my routers security type.
Overall Review: First off, this is the best deal for the money 60$ for a 6000mAh battery pack, wireless router, and a bridge. This device is great for people who love to travel or need the versatility of a router when at a hotel or a battery pack in the car. You can turn this device into a NAS (Network Attached Storage) just by plugging a flash drive into the 1A usb and then turning it on. Say you are on the plane and you saved movies to this flash drive you just plug it in and people you allow to connect to the TripMate Elite will be aloud to connect and watch your movies because the TripMate creates its own Wi-Fi signal. When you travel and are at a hotel sometimes they do not provide you with a Wi-Fi signal so you must pay or use ethernet, but with devices like iPad, iPod, and other wireless devices there is no ethernet port so you are required to have wifi. You just plug the ethernet into the TripMate and in a few seconds it provides you with a wireless signal. The TripMate Elite is portable, has two ways to charge it, and very useful. I will be going on a trip this month and will update this review when I get back on how it worked. The TripMate Elite is a pretty good router, I plugged it in in place of m AirPort Extreme 200$ router, and that will give me 20MBPS speed, The TripMate was providing me with 18.7MBPS through a device less than 1/5th the size. The HooToo Tripmate Elite is also useful for places that have Wi-Fi but may not be secure. If you head into a Starbucks or other store of such you will be provided with free, unsafe wifi, but with the HooToo TripMate Elite you will be able to bridge that connection to have your own free bridged Wi-Fi that is secure. The TripMate comes with a travel case and a flat micro USB cable to charge it, or plug it directly into the wall with it's pop out prongs to charge. (Note that the pop out prongs will charge the device a lot faster) HooToo has created an amazing product that every traveler or everyday coffee shop/library visitor should have in their bag. Even though the product is glossy the carrying case will keep it fingerprint free if you leave it in there. The HooToo TripMate is the perfect companion for anyone and everyone. Thank you for reading my review.
