Being in Japan allows one to find some extraordinary things at the big place which sells almost everything, ranging from bikes to computer parts, health products, video games and food.
My latest discovery is known as RS-LJ01. It is a small Wifi router made to be used anywhere (got a battery for 4 hours of routing) and an USB port to connect a 3G usb stick. With this you can have your Wifi hotspot in your pocket, and bring it anywhere.
The device is interesting, but the interface is all in japanese and I had some troubles with my basic japanese knowledge and some help from Google Translation to understand what was happening. I first configured my 3G login/password and got internet working, then tried to configure the device to use WPA and not WEP, but then I wasn’t able to login to the WPA network. Took me a while to find the reset button. I made new attempt at WPA using the “secondary SSID” option, without much success either.
I would really love to see what’s wrong with the WPA encryption myself (and maybe fix it), but without more informations about the device, it’s not going to be easy.
