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.

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. )

Their Velica mesh system looked interesting to me at a dirt-cheap $29.90 for two nodes, but it seems to get crummy reviews.
So I'm not sure there's anything worth buying here. Just thought it worth pointing out that they have more cheap refurbished stuff than what's on Amazon.
I'm a happy long-time Slate owner, but their other products seem to be hit or miss.
The manufacturer website has more options, but shipping costs $19.99 that kills the deal
I have two of those. Flashed them to Merlin for awhile until support ended, then switched to Fresh Tomato which is great.
But I'm not gonna lug one of these on vacation... I have a GLiNet router for that!
Does it connect to the ship's wifi and then rebroadcast it over your own SSID?
In real world, you may buy a Netgear mr1100 for dirt cheap with cat 16 LTE-A on offload data mode with its own day lasting battery to share your Internet with you in the cruise
I'd spend few $ on these gl.inet compact routers if your purpose is to extend wifi on cruise/flights which use MAC and/or captive portal authentication. That is actually perfect use case for these gl.inet routers.

But unfortunately, only wifi 2.4ghz is available for Broadcom chips on open-wrt

I found the Convexa-B (GL-B1300 * not listed at op) has very similar spec as the Beryl (GL-MT1300) except it is running on 12v AC instead of USB-C but for $15.9.

Does anyone know if this one has the same functions and performance as the Beryl?
