We would not ideally for best performance when using the travel router on the go you would use wired ( USB connection coming from your Android or iOS phone ) this is far superior to using a hotspot mode to the travel router as your phone has a worse performing WiFi chipset and will use more battery. Using the wired connection will offer superior speeds, stability and less drain on the battery.

[@estusflask982]

The USB connection will also charge your phone while doing the hotspot/tethering

I have this router as well and its capabilities are excellent. I probably lean a bit more towards GL Inet routers but the ASUS 57 Go is an excellent choice as well. If the Merlin Firmware becomes available for it i may be singing a different tune altogether.

Thanks for the feedback

[@ColinCampbell-rd9xl]

I saw in one of your older videos you prefer to use the asus mesh systems as the router system versus access points. Any reason for that? Does it perform better? I plan to get the ET8 and then buy one of their new wifi 7 routers. I can wire backhaul.

You generally don't have to worry when connecting to public wifi these days, since everything is encrypted with HTTPS. No VPN needed.

[@tubedude92]

whats the difference between repeater mode and WISP mode?

[@tubedude92]

what if the public wifi location requires you to go to a webpage before logging into their wifi..will this travel router still be able to log in?

[@supernova8962]

wooh...change your sound bits

[@nthd08]

Thank you so much for the video! I am considering getting the GLinet Beryl AX or this Asus AX57 Go. Which one would you recommend for a traveller mainly using to replace public wifi? Thank you

[@landpet]

Np, I like both of them for various reasons. Asus has a few more options if that's important to you.

[@RBzee112]

The GLinet has network wide ad blocking built-in.

[@nthd08]

@@landpet Thanks for quick reply. You have been absolutely great with the review videos!

[@ASUSUSA]

@@RBzee112 We support this via our WRT Firmware as well as well as comprehensive on router VPN options and DNS options.

If you travel a lot why would you pick this instead of a pocket wifi?! That's way more useful when travelling.

[@Placesandspaces35]

Well if you were flying to Hawaii from California would you rather fly in a twin engine propeller plane or a commercial airliner? Both will get you there but one has way more amenities than the other.

And how is this better than the proven GL iNet Beryl AX (gl-mt3000)

[@landpet]

they're both good. I've reviewed the GL iNet as well
