you are partially correct. It depends on whether or not you need VPN and the login protocol of the cruise line internet. The one I posted works with all protocols including EAP. Even the more expensive ones sometimes dont have EAP. I had the slate model but upgraded first to the Beryl AX model, since on paper that seemed better. But actually using it tells you what the issues were. The Beryl AX didnt have EAP, only worked with an older version of software (with bugs) and it ran hot. Had issues connecting to my VPN and couldnt get VPN to work reliably. So even though it was newer and more expensive and better on paper, it had fewer capabilities, I finally ended up with hte version I posted, had EAP, ran on a more updated firmware, was power efficient and never got hot and was fast enough. It paid for itself many times over on the cruise. (Saved me 2 people x $15/day x 16 days) = $480.) It was worth it spending $90 for certainty vs $20 uncertainty prior to the trip. Yes it was 4x the cost of the $20 model, but if it didnt work, it would have cost me a lot more than the additional money

BTW, I see posts all the time of people that claim model X is better based on specs, but actually never tried it. Wish they would put disclaimers and not be so certain of their claims. (Not talking about your post). Most important for a travel router to me is useability.

These are older obsolete versions. For me, they arent worth the bother despite the low cost. IF you want a travel router, I highly recommend this one:

I used it on a recent cruise with it plugged into an Anker phone battery and it worked as a hotspot all over the ship for my family. Worked perfectly. Also used it in VPN mode to connect back to my home network and while slow, worked OK. (It was slow because the ship internet speed was slow. )

One thing I learned from this post is that there are a lot of slickdealsers that go on cruises.

Just bought the mt1300 for $30 this week. Pretty good for what it is. Biggest disappointment is while the firmware is getting updated it's based on an older version (22) of openwrt.

Zerotier performance is bad like 15mbps, however, wireguard seems better than advertised at slightly over 100mbps with my testing. I am tempted to buy MT3000 for the extra horsepower.

Will I be able to use one of these on a cruise ship without paying extra for Wi-Fi?

I wonder why these are refurbished. A rule of thumb I have been following religiously is not buying refurbished routers and networking devices in general. They almost always have hidden serious flaws.

I have the Opal and love it.
Has a few issues, but nothing comparable in this price range and software ease.

Unfortunately, it SoC no longer supported. It stuck on open-wrt v18

I haven't had any issues even with used routers from thrift stores. No moving parts, can be factory reset easily and reflashed with mfr direct firmware or openwrt/dd-wrt. No that much to go wrong. The only problem I had was with some older Linksys routers that had overheating chips due to no heatsinks and no airflow but those had problems even when brand new.
