Ashton Digital WRUB-2011i wireless USB stick


Looking for an easy, inexpensive way to share an Internet connection? Ashton Digital's wireless USB sticks are the best deal.

The good: Quick setup; excellent performance; inexpensive; three-year warranty.

The bad: Outdated security; works only with Windows systems.


Ashton Digital's WRUB-2011i AirDash wireless USB stick is small but still has features you won't find in other 802.11b USB adapters. Plus, it's easy to install, delivers excellent throughput, and at around $50, is about the cheapest wireless adapter currently available. The AirDash stick comes with software that lets you share an Internet connection without an additional wireless router or access point. Unfortunately, the adapter works only with Windows, and its security features are middling, offering the older 64- and 128-bit WEP encryption but lacking WPA support. Still, the AirDash adapter's solid performance and great feature set will make it a good fit for anyone looking for a simple and inexpensive way to share an Internet connection wirelessly.
