What can I do with the TP-Link TL-WR703N router? (APRS, SDR)
Basically this device is meant to be a little 3g travel router. You can plug in a 3g USB adapter and share that Internet connection to multiple devices over WIFI. It also supports Ethernet. It runs a Linux operating system so this opens up lost of Amateur Radio opportunities. So for $24 you can get a 400mhz Linux computer, with Ethernet, Wifi and USB ports and several GPIO pins.
This router is available from http://www.giga.co.za/ocart/index.php?route=product/product&path=99&product_id=150
