The Wide Drive allows you to share your media content with up to three devices simultaneously using this as a portable wireless access point. Now, what's cool about the YRive compared to other competing solutions is that the YRive allows you to connect to its Wi-Fi access point and still browse the internet on your mobile device. I know, right? So, it allows upstream and downstream connections to Wi-Fi access points. So, basically what I'm doing is I have my router in my house.
