I have the Slate AX version (GL-AXT1800) and love it. Great as a travel router; multiple modes to connect (including phone tethering); built in firewall, VPN, Ad-blocking, etc; extensible. For basic use, this MT1300 will function about the same.

When I'm traveling, I put any wifi devices (phones, laptops, tablets, kindles, even an Amazon Echo Show 5 I use as a travel clock) all behind the router, and then plug it in to the ethernet jack in the hotel.

If there's no ethernet jack, you can also use repeater mode to have the router connect to hotel wifi. Easiest way is to connect your phone to hotel wifi, sign in via their web portal, then connect to your router's wifi and click the button to clone your phone's MAC address. Boom. As far as the hotel is concerned, your router is your phone.

One thing I love is that these routers are USB C-powered, meaning it will run off a battery pack. I used it at a company picnic to demo a VR headset for people, with wireless casting to a laptop for those watching. There was no electricity in the picnic pavilion, and had this router up for about 6 hours on a 10,000mAh battery, which still had plenty of charge remaining.

For me I carry it almost everyday, at work they have a guest network. Added my Wireguard VPN config. And connect my devices to it. Now I don't have to individually connect each device to my home VPN.

Hmm, I wonder if that's what happened and prevented me. Son of a bitch, I wish I had that information earlier lol! I could've set up a temp captive portal at home to test this out first. However, this being my first RCL, the Wonder having new networking service/hardware from its sister ships (if I recall, might've just made that up), and the little data points available at the time since we were on its 3rd sailing ever made this all an uncertainty I guess. Just glad my backup still worked even if it was slower.

I had no issues prior to Mariner but now RCCL has starlink and my last 2 cruise this past August on Oasis and Harmony I was able to connect with no issue.

Nice, good to know. Starlink is a game changer for all cruise ship's historically terrible WiFi for real.

So what would the GL-MT1300 give me over the GL-MT1200 other than easy tethering. And do I really need that just for basic wi-fi sharing?

Wow. Then can't you do that with a plane Wi-Fi and have multiple devices connected for internet?

1. You are using Hotel WiFi, you just get more benefits.

2. Security - through VPN
How do you know Hotel Wifi is secure enough to prevent hacker from sniffing your data? Example, MGM got hacked recently.

3. Usability and Cost - ability to use more than 2x devices
In Vegas, you have to pay extra to get access to get WiFi. Paying for that bullshit resort fee only give you 2 device access per room. If you want more devices, you have to pay more. When my Friend and I were in Vegas on a work trip, we both have 2x phones, a tablet each and laptops = 8 devices. Having this kind of device allow us not having to pay for 6x more devices.

How are you getting VPN through this?

It depends on what kind of VPN service you have. Your configuration can be with the OpenVPN/Wireguard client web interface of the router or pre-configuration file like with NordVPN instruction here: https://support.nordvpn.com/Conne...ordVPN.htm

Yes, you absolutely could. However, I don't know how the FCC & FAA would feel about that.

To elaborate a bit on how to use one of these in wifi repeater mode:
  1. Many hotels/airports/cruise ships/businesses use a 'captive portal' which redirects your initial device traffic to a webpage for sign-in (or to pay for access.) The router can't sign in, so another device has to sign in for it first.
  2. Thus, connect to hotel wifi with your phone, go to the captive portal page, do whatever is needed to sign on. (E.g., enter your room number & last name.)
  3. Now open the wifi settings for the hotel network on your phone and find the MAC address your phone is advertising to that network. It might be the real MAC address or a random one; it doesn't matter, but if it's a random one (like someone noted the Samsung S23 generates) you'll have to write it down for later. (MAC addresses look like a4:e5:ff:02:6b:cc )
    On an android phone, you'll find this under Wifi -> Little gear next to the hotel network -> View More -> MAC Address
  4. Once you have the MAC address, disconnect phone from hotel wifi, connect to your router's wifi, and go to the configuration page for the router. (192.168.8.1 by default, iirc.) Under Network->MAC Address click either 'clone' (if your phone's real MAC address was used for wifi) or 'Manual' (and enter the MAC address you wrote down.)
  5. Finally, go to Internet, select Repeater, and join the hotel network from the router. VPN should be turned off on the router until after you have completed this step and you have also verified your devices can connect to the router and access the internet.
  6. (Optional) Delete the hotel wifi network from your phone. At the very least, disable 'connect automatically' to prevent any issues while you're using the router.

(Bonus) If you ever connect to a wifi network expecting to land at a captive portal, but the connection times-out instead, it may be an SSL issue. Try entering the URL http://neverssl.com in your browser (note that it is http and not https -- very important!), as it may then redirect you to the proper sign-in page.
