Summary: Fabulous product
Review: I've had my WiFlyer for a few months now and am very happy, overall, with the product. I cover an 18 county area, in a mainly rural state, and travel all over the state for meetings and trainings. The mix of dialup and broadband connections can be a pain. The WiFlyer has given me the flexibility to use any type of connection that I come across (Well, almost any, you can't use it on a digital phone system. Not sure why, but that was very disappointing when I spent a week in a room with a digital phone in at and was stuck using a regular phone line, plugged into the wall, to access my dial up account.). The WiFlyer interface is browser based, just plug it in and turn on your computer. Once the computer locates the WiFlyer signal you open your web browser and set up your connection. Its very easy to use and has worked great with both my work and personal laptops (Dells running XP Pro) and my Dell Axim PocketPC.
Sometimes the signal seems to be a little weak, I'd like to see it come with an external antannae (you can buy one, but you know, should you really have to?). And I always feel like I have to baby it, not sure why but it just feels fragile to me. That being said, I've had it in my computer bag and hauled it all over the place and haven't had any problems with it. I've never been able to get the dial up accelerator program to work either. I might use it if I could, but have had no success so far.
It's a great product. If you're on the road and need a great solution for dealing with a variety of Internet connections, or if you want to make your dial up connection wireless, this is for you. Easy to use, simple to hook up and gives you wireless access anywhere you go. Well worth the price.

Summary: Just what home dialup users have been waiting for!
Review: Setup was very easy. Connected to my ISP every time. In spite of what the WiFlyer tech support says, the LAN connection on the back of the WiFlyer CAN be used to link the WiFlyer to other networks, not just a single computer. In my case, I am using an 802.11g network with a physical LAN connection to the WiFlyer. Result, WiFlyer fits transparently into the network and I still get to use the 802.11g transfer speeds.

On the pricy side, but I've been waiting for something like this for ages!
