| [To Go] Pocket-Sized Ethernet Hub/Switch
I'm traveling between field offices constantly, and often find myself in an office where there aren't any free ethernet jacks where I can hook up my notebook. Wireless is not available in any of the offices.  And last week I was stuck in a boardroom for three days with 10 people sharing three network jacks. So I was looking for a small, lightweight ethernet hub or switch that I could stash in my laptop bag.
I don't want to lug around a huge power brick if I can help it. Any ideas/recommendations? Thanks! |

I have a few of these and they are pretty small, and the wall wart is also not much bigger than a cell phone charger. They can also be bought at most electronic stores that sell networking gear. |

Orleans, ON | Thanks for that idea, I found a local store that stocks it for $20 CAD. Not as cool as the USB powered switch, but will do the job. |
