The Asus WL-530g is the smallest wifi router at the moment that I know of. I came across it today although it has been out for over a year. I still think it’s worth a mention though.
The cost of the device is £44.95 inc VAT in the UK and available from Expansys.
A similar upgraded router is available here.
The router is great for those travellers who like to have wifi as an option such as in a hotel room where the wireless connection may be slower and less reliable then the Ethernet port in the wall. Just plug it in and go!

I bought a wireless Router Asus WL-530g.
Sometimes the connection with internet is broken.
To repair it, I take off the power for about 30 seconds to reset the router and after that it is ok.
But when i have the ip adres, then i can reset the router internally without take off the power.
My question: Can you give me the ip adres from that type of router.
So i can try to repair it from behind my PC.
The best regards,
