In work
With tests in Moscow, the router showed itself with dignity. With active use, he worked for two hours on the battery, which is quite a good result. It should be noted that when using the router in the car, it is possible to recharge it from the cigarette lighter power adapter from Trendnet TA-CC, which is commercially available.
