Hi Folks, Away for christmas at the moment, took an RB951 with us, and have REALLY enjoyed having it plugged into the iinet cable at the apartment we've stayed in for the week. It comes up on one of our SSID's from home, brings up an encrypted PPTP tunnel back to our home network and routes all traffic across it (not bad either, tunnel from ballarat to Syd, it only dropped the 50/2 iiNet cable to 45/1.8, so the PPTP isn't adding much overhead) - means no reconfiguring all our devices, and everything is still nice and private. Got me thinking I want to use this any time we go away - but most places we stay only have Wifi available, not ethernet. And the RB951 only has one radio interface. Any suggestions of USB Wifi adapters which might be available which work with RouterOS? (That way I can also have it connect to our telstra 4g hockey puck when we're not using hotel wifi) I had a look in the Wiki, but it doesn't mention much for usb Wifi.
