While the Dynadock Wireless U's wireless range isn't advertised, I came up with a couple ground rules during testing. First, don't expect to get video streaming at all beyond about four feet. Basic computer functions like word processing and Web browsing function very well as much as twenty feet away, as long as the wireless USB stick maintains a line-of-sight connection with the hub. Second, no walking around while you're typing. Besides basic safety concerns, it takes the Dynadock Wireless U a few seconds to adjust to a different position.

All in all, it seems like the Dynadock Wireless U is good for someone who craves a little flexibility in their home docking setup. I just wish it was a little more plug-and-play friendly during the initial install process. Just remember that while your laptop may be free, your usage is still chained to reality: The Dynadock may not be able to handle what you have in mind.
