If I try and run a full lab rack, yes it sucks. Circuit flaps, packets drops, etc... But for just a couple of routers, it's fine.

I travel internationally a lot and hate to waste the hours just sitting around. This is a great way for me to have some portable gear to work with anywhere I happen to be.
