if you have to ask, then you don't need it.
but some use cases are:
1. sharing information between your personal devices in a remote location. say you have a file stored on you laptop or something and you want to play that file on a streaming device. hotel wifi (decent ones) has something called guest isolation that prevent discovery or direct communication between clients. so you create your own.

2. provide VPN service to all your devices: not all device can install VPN client (say your game console for example), with this device, you can configure VPN directly on the device, so any one connected behind this device are all connected to a VPN gateway without any configuration on the clients. this can also save your VPN connections since it is count as one VPN connection.

but if you use case is you have some VPN software installed on your laptop, and you only bring that one laptop. then this buys you nothing.
Yep, I use mine solely as a travel/hotel router with VPN so I can use my IP cameras for security and Chromecast, etc...




Basically the same thing but GliNet supports more advanced features like high performance VPN downloads and open source UI




The AR300M is a pretty low end spec router so I wouldnt be surprised if it has slowdowns (esp if using VPN). This Beryl model is a lot faster and there are now even faster models out.




You want to look at the GliNet 4G routers instead like the Spitz, Puli, or MiFi
They don't have a SIM port, but they can tether to USB devices (phones, LTE/5G sticks) and work as a wireless repeater.

I have the AR-750S model of this and these are great little routers. It's an OpenWRT back end with a lot of customization possible, build in server/client VPN support for OpenVPN and Wireguard, and they work in a pinch if your main router goes down.

I bought an older one of these prior to the pandemic thinking I was going to use it for my travels and essentially I haven't used it at all much and now there are a few new improved versions..

I have the GL.iNet GL-AR750S-Ext. I wonder if this has enough advantage to pick it up.

Possibly, if you can either get a USB simcard adapter/LTE modem stick or share your cell phone's data connection via USB-to-Ethernet adapter (see the 3rd picture in the photos). However, that's not what this device mainly is for. This is a just travel router, not wireless ISP/modem solution.

Not if you connect this device to your phone via your phone's hotspot. Verizon limits my hotspot to 10 gigs and connecting that way everything would count against that limit.
