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. )

Cruise Plum has a Hot and Last Minute Deals section that will highlight unusually inexpensive room types on specific cruises. There's also the ability to track historical base fare prices over time to better know the best time to get a good deal, and also if you're possibly overpaying.
Once you find a specific cruise & date, then Cruise Compete becomes useful. Submit your cruise info on their website and receive offers from multiple travel agents who all are competing for your business. Many of these rooms are ones the travel agent bought for cheap when the itinerary was announced years prior, which is traditionally when the prices are the absolute lowest. You'll almost always pay less than the cruise line's website advertised price, and they'll typically throw in other nice to haves, like on board credit.
I've used Cruise Compete on three sailings so far and have another one on the books for September. For my last cruise, I saved almost $700 vs Royal Caribbean's website price and also received $100 in OBC. It doesn't cost you anything to submit for offers, so there's really not much to lose there. The site looks pretty outdated and janky, but it's legit.
My home dd-wrt router as a server.
When we traveled out of country, I had to connect back to get some service
If you want to modify each interface , you need get interface name to modify the IP packets characters.
login the device with terminal, use Linux command "ifconfig" to get each interface information
For travel I think either will perform just fine. With the Beryl AX being their "newest" offering (2.4Ghz Ethernet). The Beryl AX lacks support for EAP and does not have an uSD card slot. I could not find a use case where EAP would matter to me, and have yet to run into an issue in the wild. Maybe on a cruise ship?
About I year ago I had to decide between the two options you are asking about, I went with the Beryl AX based on price. Someone in this thread mentioned the Beryl AX may get EAP support (officially) and then the main difference will only be the uSD card on the Slate AX. If the prices were equal, I would have had to spend more time deciding. I've been happy so far. The Beryl AX firmware had issues, but now the official firmware has been stable with no speed issues, which was not the case when I first got the Beryl AX about a year ago.
I have a pixel phone that can turn a wifi signal into wifi hotspot. The wifi hotspot doesn't count towards the mobile hotspot data since it's wifi, so it's basically an unlimited wifi hotspot. Is there any benefit to getting one of these travel routers vs just using my phone as a wifi hotspot on the cruise?
This would be the only time i'd need one of these things. Seems like my phone can do everything i'd personally need one of these to do.
would def recommend and wish i knew about this before my trip

While I partially agree with the sentiment that you should just "disconnect from the world", unfortunately in this day and age, that's not always possible. Some ports of call will give free internet access near the dock, while others do not. It's nice being able to send a message to family members, the people watching my house and pets, check the weather, make a phone call via wifi, etc. while away.

the more expensive ones can do both wifi and hotspot.
no idea if the samsung a15 or a53 can do both like the s23.

most phones only have 1 antennae so you can either receive wifi or you can hotspot.
