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.

Huh? that's not how paying for internet works.
I'm sure what he meant is without paying for extra devices. We had the plan for one device on our ship. When we were in our room our "one" device was this a GL-iNet Beryl router which then supplied Internnet to phones, laptops, Kindles, etc..

Grabbed the slate since the beryl was OOS. I travel quite a bit for work and had been considering using a travel router.

Use my Beryl on flights, everyone I'm travelling with connects to it and watches a different movie of their choice.
inflight wifi is fast enough to support multiple streams?

I have a beryl ax, will I benefit from anything in this deal? Would any of these be good for a kids phone to connect multiple devices?

Quote from docu :
I missed out on the refurbished Beryl but this sent me down a rabbit hole on these travel routers. I ended up getting the Beryl AX because there was a $25 coupon on Amazon. Probably way overkill for my needs but seems like a solid product
Walmart has been selling the Beryl AX for $80.60 for awhile now. Ordered two last week. Not sure if you can still cancel your Amazon order.

Why slate and not Opal? I don't know the difference. What I want to try is use my T-Mobile unlimited data and see if I can make it a home internet

What's the range of the Mango?

If i'm playing in the ship's casino, will someone playing at the other end of the small casino be able to access the Mango hotspot?

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.
The last time they had a refurbished sale, I picked up a Mango and it was like brand new. Original box, mint condition and sealed. It impressed me and I picked up a 2nd Beryl now, since my daughter is currently using my 1st one as an extender.

GL-SFT1200 consumes a little power with dual band

The problem with the Slate is support for it ends October 26th 2024.

I've been running RaspAP on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with a USB wifi adapter for faster speeds. That's a lot more complicated to set up then these but in a drastically smaller footprint. For me the size is the most important aspect of a travel router.

who cares their support, it is open-wrt firmware, you can flash the undated open-wrt at anytime!

Will I be able to use one of these on a cruise ship without paying extra for Wi-Fi?
I bought this a few years ago for exactly that purpose. It works in the room but you will not be able to access it throughout the ship. I had it on our interior balcony and I could use it in a few spots outside our room, but the range is nowhere near good enough to cover the ship.
