Bro jsut explain how to set up the travel route and that’s it damn
What is the website
It is called a vacation!
I’ve got a few of those GL.iNet travel routers I usually bring 2 with me when I travel. I keep one setup at home for accessing some stuff connected there with the vpn.
I like having all my devices auto connect and skip fighting to log in each device. I have the second router hooked up with one of my Pi’s so I can split what is and isn’t running on pihole easily.
Thanks for the review. I do not travel frequently enough to justufy the purchase, but i can certainly appreciate the need of those heavy users.
Wired LAN in hotel rooms is actually more common than most of us would imagine. For example, here un Japan, by far the biggest business hotel chain, Toyoko Inn, always provide both Wifi and wired LAN. Those who want more consistent internet speed should make good use of rhe wired LAN, and a travelling router is great if u do not carry a laptop with you. It is not mandatory, but a travelling router would provide you with so much more flexibility and security if u are a road warrior. Leisure travel….. Maybe overkill..
How can you use this to travel if you need to connect it to a router/motem what the hell am I looking at
Just set up the SSID and Password on the travel router to match your home network settings. When you turn it on everything will connect as if it was the home network without all the setting up each device 😉
So you need to use a vpn service?
Yes and no to the cruise ship scenario
No SIM 🙁
So many features. Really like the ability it has to encrypt the dns server Cloudflare using TLS over DNS. That allows me to use Disney Plus when away from home using Nord or Surfshark VPN (Disney blocks a lot of vpns). Excellent travel router!
You connect it to the hotel’s Wifi?? What a joke! I just use my Jetpack and avoid hotel wifi altogether. Sometimes, hotel wifi sucks anyway and you get crap connections- this would effect the quality of your feeds through your router.
I guess if you need a hookup medium where you can connect like 10 devices at once, this may be your option. But those of us that travel for work, have 2 or three at most and the Jetpack I have offers me internet almost everywhere I go. Sorry, not for me.
quick question, can I use the Ethernet cable port to connect one router to another router? my ISP breaks down 3-4 times a year and I lose the use of my google home devices I have a Orbi router but it needs to be hard wired so the orbi can send a wifi signal to everything wifi on ny home network, I can use next doors wifi but I can only use it for single things like a laptop or TV… I was thinking of using one of these to connect to next doors wifi and hard wire my router from it ??
Slate vs beryl ax why one over the other? And any news on the 7th version shown at CES and when they might release that one?
The problem is very few hotel rooms these days have a physical network cable or port in the room.
Unplug car5 from voip phone, or tv to get wired ethernet
I like your videos can you please do a review on the eufyCam S3 Pro Series?
Does this boost bad hotel wifi to make it faster?
Does this come with any 4G or 5G SIM card inside? Also, is there any internet plan from the device company side to start sharing or accessing Wifi?
What if you travel alone?
Question, can Data plans on mobile work with this, and will this router use up all the data off the Mobile Data Plan, or its using it’s own Data plan for Mbps?
Great video. Have an older, cheaper model and have been eyeing this one. You did an excellent job of explaining everything it can do and it’s relatable to anyone who travels with more than one device.
it brings your speeds down badly. hopefully they will come up with one who wont take my speeds.
I have never been able to get this device to work on a cruise ship
I can’t get mine to work can you help
Could you put music or movies on the SD card or external drive and access them say from an iPad?
can you make a video showing how to connect an extrenal hard drive to this device. i cant find a video that shows how to do it.
When it’s in wifi repeater mode (like at a hotel) I’m unclear how that provides browsing security.
Attention: The travel routers from GL.iNet do not support site-to-site VPN. If you plan to use this router for professional purposes, you should consider choosing a different one.
Can it work off a sim and is it unlocked? thanks 👍👍
Doesn’t work at any hotel as it doesn’t support captive logons.
YOU DONT NEED TO BLUR PRIVATE IP Addresses
Cruise ships are searching your luggage for these devices, storing them and releasing them back to you at the conclusion of your voyage.
Can this router connect using Surfshark?
I tried this on a cruise , no go.The ship used a captive Wi-Fi page to authorise the login.
Could not get past it. Spoke to several others who’d tried the same.
This is gonna be excellent for my PlayStation portal
Just set up the SSID and Password on the travel router to match your home network settings. When you turn it on everything will connect as if it was the home network without all the setting up each device 😉
Love this and the micro sd card capability. I move my travel photos and video in there when I get back to the hotel.
Why Slate over Baryl?
Awesome vid! Can I use that Slate AX as the Home VPN server with my current router?
You mentioned bringing it on a cruise. Not sure of all the cruise lines, but Royal Caribbean had banned travel routers, along with any other networking hardware like StarLink.
All you need is build a repeater boost all signals then create chanels and sell phone service. You be instant retirement if they pay their service
If the hotel room has a TV connected via ethernet, can you hijack that and put it into the WAN port of the router?
Queston If this is up to connect to my home network, will I get the same bandwidth speeds as my home network?
I’m stuck at needing a laptop to set it up🫤 when traveling..assuming you set this device up correctly at home. When you reach your destination. To access the internet you’d need to connect the travel router at that destination (hotel/cruise ship etc)… do you “need” a laptop to connect this travel router there?
Someone help please! I’ve set up my Slate plus about 5 times and every time I turn it off it forgets all my info and I have to go through full set up again! Anyone got any ideas as to what’s wrong??? Thanks
Re: your comment about a sharing cruise ship plan. Wouldn’t the ship itself have WiFi all over the ship, and wouldn’t that be the benefit of buying individual plans per device? Otherwise, how can (let’s just say four people total sharing the cruise ship plan) everyone get service all over the guest parts of the ship? Would they need to be within reasonable distance of the router in order to connect to WiFi?
Can the NAS/SD run Plex or Jellyfin media for offline playback of kid shows or offloading photos?
What’s the website to activate the sim
Can I use this router in Nigeria?
