The Edimax BR-6268nL has won the 2012 ComputerActive Best of Computex Award for design, and Innovation.

  TAIPEI, Taiwan – June 11, 2012—From 5 June to 9 June 2012, Edimax Technology showcased its newest and most advanced products at Computex Taipei 2012. The Edimax BR-6268nL Travel Router & Personal Hotspot was awarded “Best of Computex 2012” by Computeractive Magazine, from the UK. It was one of only eight products – out of several hundred exhibited at the event – so honored by Computeractive at Computex this year.

Edimax BR-6268nL Travel Router & Personal Hotspot 
Edimax is currently developing a series of products designed specifically to satisfy the real needs of its customers, to provide users with simple and practical items that are easy to use and convenient to set up. The BR-6268nL is a finger-sized accessory perfectly suited to the frequent traveler. As noted by Computeractive, the BR-6268nL can act as a USB to Ethernet adapter for ultrabooks equipped only with Wi-Fi capabilities. It can also serve as a portable Wi-Fi 150Mbps 802.11n hotspot that can share a wired internet connection with multiple wireless devices. However, this is not all it can do, in fact the BR-6268nL has six modes: USB to Ethernet adapter, wireless hotspot, router, WISP (wireless ISP), universal repeater, and wireless client.

The BR-6268nL is powered by a laptop’s USB port or by a portable USB battery usually used for smartphones. This way, the physical size and weight of the BR-6268nL can be minimized, because there is no need to include an internal battery or external power adapter. The USB lead clips neatly into the bottom of the device when not in use.

The Edimax BR-6268nL will be part of a series of personal hotspots that will hit the market in the near future, and its versatility, portability, and ease of use ensure it can fulfill the wireless connectivity needs of the modern globetrotter.
