Thank you for providing such a clear and helpful video tutorial! I really appreciate the effort you’ve put into explaining everything step by step. Thumbs up for the great content, and you’ve just gained a new subscriber from me. I have a quick question regarding the router: Can this router detect and connect to a mobile hotspot?

Do you have to login to the ship's captive wifi login page each time or does it remain connected, so long as the power on the TP-Link stays connected?

Do we need wifi connection to start setting up the travel router before we connect it to the ship wifi?

Hi Captain Kevin, thank you so much for this video, it's very helpful. My family and I will be cruising on MSC seascape soon. Can you please let me know if i should start setting up the router box before we board the ship like at home then just connect when we board the ship. Or should we wait and do everything while onboard.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 KJV That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9 KJV He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:36 KJV For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23 KJV Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20 KJV And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. John 17:3 KJV In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 1 John 4:9 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Hebrews 9:22 KJV Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: John 11:25 KJV Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 KJV For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else. Deuteronomy 4:39 KJV And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21 KJV Time is short. “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:” Isaiah 55:6 KJV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55:7 KJV Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. Amos 5:14 KJV Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Matthew 24:42 KJV Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. Mark 13:33 KJV I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: Isaiah 45:5 KJV And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 16:31 KJV He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18 KJV Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. Acts 3:19 KJV Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. Isaiah 45:22 KJV Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7 KJV And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15 KJV But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. Deuteronomy 4:29 KJV Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 2 Samuel 7:22 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2 KJV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

As I am reading on some of the ships prohibited list, routers are becoming one of them. Are you concerned that they would confiscate your router once you are on board?
@CaptainKevinandCarol6 ай бұрын
I haven’t seen that, but the router is tiny and I doubt it would be seen. At wrist all they could do is take it and give it back at end of cruise. Android phones natively let you share the connection anyway. are they going to confiscate all android phones?
@MisterJaeg9 ай бұрын
Wouldn't it be better to first sign in to the ship's Wi-Fi with a phone and then clone the MAC of the phone to the router, and then login to the router with the phone? This way you could turn the router off when you are not in the room and use the phone elsewhere on the ship. As long as the ship's connection does not see the same MAC twice I don't think there would be a problem.

Hi. Nice review. If you spend a bit more money you can get a better product with the GL.iNet GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX) Pocket-Sized Wi-Fi 6 Wireless Travel Gigabit Router. I have this travel router and it uses OpenWrt with the Luci front end for a nice gui experience. Cheers! ❤️👍🏻😊

I am wondering about a couple of things...Once we set the router up and assuming that it stays in the stateroom for the duration, what about one single device that we might be carrying around on the ship? Will that device connect and "bump" the router off? Note: I plan to buy 2 devices/1 person, even with the travel router. That way, I am thinking that I can stay connected, out of the stateroom, with one of the phones. Should I do the initial setup of the travel router using my laptop, instead of using one of my other devices, such as the phone?
@CaptainKevinandCarol9 ай бұрын
You can only have the one device on one plan on MSC as it binds to the first MAC address you connect with. You need a device plan for each device. On P&O it’s different connecting a second device turns the first off, well a screen comes up asking you to do that. You can use the same plan switch between devices. The beauty of the travel router is that as long as you are in range you can connect multiple devices on the one plan. We often carry ours arround the ship powered by a USB battery bank attached by the other half’s hair bands 😅
@ffmedic16384 ай бұрын
@@CaptainKevinandCarol So, We do have a USB battery bank and could follow that scheme. Back to the set-up on the TP-Link...You said do not go into the Client Settings screen? I already have my 2.4 and 5GHz channel names and passwords set-up from previous use (not on a ship). So, after selecting the strongest of the ships WI-FI channels, go to the browser and access the login screen for the ship's Internet? In my case it will be RC's VOOM. Type in my credentials and wah-lah? Now, for any other device I want to connect, I will choose the appropriate 2.4 or 5GHz channel on my travel router?

There is water in the Minibar, but you need to pay for that. Otherwise water is available in the Marketplace Buffet 24 hours per day. We take refillable metal drinking bottles.

We've taken a note of that cabin number for that balcony. Would imagine some great views along the ship from there. Would you recommend that cabin? And your experience on Arvia?
@CaptainKevinandCarol Жыл бұрын
We would definitely recommend that cabin. There are great views forward and you can look over the balcony just like a normal balcony to see aft. We prefer Iona which we fell in love with, to Arvia, they are almost identical and we had the cabin directly above on Iona 17320. That cabin has more shade due to the overhang. They were different holidays, Iona, 7 days to Norway and Arvia 14 days to the Mediterranean. Personally I thought the clientele aboard Iona were better than those going to the Mediterranean, but that might apply to all med cruises as we are not the sort that like spending the day lying on the sun. I also caught a nasty stomach bug on Arvia, I think from the shared utensils in the buffet. We are on Aurora for 3 days over new year.
