I just stumbled upon this WiFi 6 router yesterday, and I must say that you have really put it to it's paces. It's a very good value for money for what it costs here in India too (3,200 INR). Your review is the first one i saw, and it was pretty unique because you actually used it in a way it's meant to be used. That was my exact concern and now I've gotten my doubts resolved. Thanks for taking the time to review the device. You just earned a sub! 😊

[@hypnotico7051]

I’ve seen a lot of these travel router videos and it just seems like a product looking for a solution. Cell phone hotspot does the trick for me.

[@AskIveSolar]

Cell phone hotspot certain works for most situations but when traveling, you cant beat the added convenience of not having your cell phone be the center of your network connectivity. Im a big hotspot on my phone guy but I love my GLI travel router to recreate my home wifi setup and then when Im out of the house / hotel / airbnb, the show goes on.

[@rjbrowning85]

It wasn't until my most recent hotel stay that I fully understood the value of a travel router. The wifi reception was horrible in the hotel room. My kids streaming services kept cutting out along with the connection to the wifi. Had I had a travel router setup using the lan connection, I would have had a strong, fast, reliable signal for everyone to enjoy.

[@valentinaharold1333]

So does this not work without lan connect port ?

[@alexrapada]

@@valentinaharold1333 It does work without lan. Lan is just more stable connection. If no lan in hotel room the Wifi is like using wifi router at home where every devices uses the same credentials in the hotel room.

All these KZbinrs skip the most important part, the configuration and installation of programs. Everyone knows how to check for speed and everything else.

[@VacumOvale]

what programs? just plug it in and start configuring, then use whatever browser you use for watching news and porn. no need for extra whatever. router is like a smartphone, it is already there, you dont have to start and install android on it.

[@erikalawson282]

I’m struggling so I agree.

[@rbux1636]

Obviously we know how to check for speed but you can't do that until you buy it. That's a very important factor in deciding whether to buy this or not. As far as I'm concerned, "the configuration and installation of programs" is irrelevant to that.

[@TurfSurf]

Most of hotels I have stayed at don’t have Ethernet in the room. How do you connect this thing to the hotel WiFi?

[@MR_GPU]

AP/RE i'm guessing is Access Point/Repeater mode. If you set it to that, the config will probably prompt you to connect to a wifi channel & repeat the signal.

[@farshadm900]

check the gl-inet slate plus

[@RonnRicco]

It's probably hidden behind the desk or tv stand area. If not most have their tv's hooked up via ethernet cable, I just take it off the wall mount and connect the ethernet cable directly.

[@kito1san]

Ensure your travel router has ability to connect to the hotel wifi that also connects to their login in page (captive portals). This is important to keep the connection to the travel router while your group connects to the travel router for access.

I like the VPN portion of this device… and I’m not sure most hotels actually have an ethernet port that would give you the kind of speeds that are better than Wi-Fi If I’m not mistaken, using this device for Wi-Fi means that your connection is only as good as what you’re connected to.

[@oui.monsieur]

You mentioned relaxing at the pool or beach. How is the Ethernet cable connected to the router while at the pool/beach?

[@SteveDOES]

I left the all the gear in the room, but to play that scenario out, i could connect the travel router to hotel Wi-Fi and share that connection. It's not a huge benefit, but it will allow all devices (mine and friends) to passthrough my VPN service. Surprisingly, I didn't have access to Pandora in Mexico. The VPN fixed that though.

[@msj1122]

[@sorjai.]

At 8:37 I see that you're only getting 100Mbps from the gigabit port. Are you using an older cat5 cable? If so, you may want to consider getting a newer Ethernet cable (5e and up) in case you can take advantage of faster speeds beyond 100Mbps. If you aren't, then I guess the hotel is using the older cable.

[@lsterk1693]

He mentioned hotel only offered 100 up and down so cabling not the limiting factor.

[@sorjai.]

@@lsterk1693I saw the popup at 7:32 that says the hotel WiFi was 100Mbps, and usually hotels give out the WiFi only and not advertise the Ethernet. So if I missed the part where he says the hotel Ethernet was also limited to 100Mbps, then whoops my bad!

[@SteveDOES]

@@sorjai. Now thinking about it, it should have said "hotel internet is 100 Mbps".

@@SteveDOES so it seems like you did have a cat 5e or higher cable then, and the hotel didn't support the higher speeds 🙂

[@coolsnake1134]

He says the hotel is only providing 100 megabits a second so that means either the hotel is using network management software to limit each connection to that speed in order to make it fair for all the guests or more likely than not because it was also the ethernet jack in the room doing it the hotel was probably wired with older cat 5 wiring versus cat 5e or cat6 meaning the buildings wiring is physically limiting the speed

[@g2229301]

Possible to spoof the routers MAC on a different computer to log into the captive portal. Once logged in, connect travel router.

I believe the captive portal should be working OK with this router. Once you have this travel router connected to the hotel network, just need to use one of the device to attempt to connect to internet, then captive portal page should appear. Once successfully authenticated, it should be able to share all connection to other device without needing to enter captive portal again

What was the speed after connecting to the VPN?

[@MrPir84free]

I assume since you are asking, you may not know much about VPN's... It's not a bad thing; everyone is at that point at some point in time. VPN's are always tricky; there's literally NO perfect answer and cannot be answered because of all of the variables. Unfortunately, there is NO short answer due to the variables. Wifi /wired connections at many hotels/and free wifi hotspots can and often are a) shared and b) throttled. You'll never be faster than the throttled speed. Every place is throttled SOMEWHERE- PERIOD. When using a VPN, you must select an endpoint where your connection "exits". The closer to your endpoint- the less lag and better speed. OpenVPN: OpenVPN puts a heavier load on the router CPU and is quite limited speed-wise. Wireguard is not as limited; In reality, you'll end up with better speeds with Wireguard, from more than double the speed on good hardware, to about 6 times faster on slower hardware... Most good products advertise the speeds that the hardware will support; those that don't- usually don't because of embarrassment. Because Wireguard is significantly faster, choosing a VPN provider that supports Wireguard is a critical choice you must make if you desire speed. Hardware: Older hardware designs perform worse than newer designs. I'd suggest looking at the Slate AX if you are planning on going on a cruise ship as some cruise ships require EAP. Otherwise, I'd suggest the newer & cheaper Beryl AX from GL.Inet. For example, I'd suggest AVOIDING the GL.Inet Opal if you plan on using VPN, because it's CPU is antiquated and SLOW. VPN: I am not sponsored; ExpressVPN is only OpenVPN; so I would not recommend ExpressVPN; Look at Surfshark VPN, if you are looking at ease of use, or just running the VPN on your device directly ( always an option). Proton VPN is the only other I'd recommend, but if you've never used a VPN, Surfshark would be my choice unless you want absolutely better privacy. But configuration with Proton is NOT as simple as it is with Surfhark. !!! Exceptions: If you are streaming videos from services like Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc, you may need to put in exceptions to use such services. Gl.Inet routers have the ability to put in exceptions; I don't know about the TP-Link. OpenWRT also supports exceptions. If a service can be viewed in a web browser like Edge, start playing it in the browser, open the Developer Tools ( F12 ) and look at sources to determine which URL's might need to be excluded. This information on how to find these exceptions is VERY hard to find otherwise !!!. Take this as a HINT !!! I have never used this tp-link; I would likely not buy it either. It's missing key features like external antennas and WPA3.. External antennas will give you better range !!! . WPA2 is relatively easy to defeat; it's not as secure as it should be. A travel router SHOULD always be secure due to where it's used, thus should require at least WPA3 !!! The listings on Amazon don't suggest anything really, so IMO, they're not proud of their product enough to advertise its features otherwise. I have used the Opal, Slate AX, Beryl AX from GL.Inet and the Cudy TR3000 from Cudy.. Generally, I'd recommend the Beryl AX overall, unless you need the features of the Slate AX, like EAP which is required on certain cruise lines. If you are running off from a USB power bank, the Slate AX is more power hungry than the Beryl AX. I would NOT recommend the OPAL as it's severely underpowered. The CUDY I have mixed feelings about; and is not one I'd recommend at this point in time. It's not terrible ; the firmware just has room for improvement. In the end, most people need about 10 to 25 Mbps to stream media; towards 25Mbps+ for working remotely, and more if multiple devices are streaming at the same time; In the end, as long as you get sufficient speed, don't be too concerned about the speed otherwise.
