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:
https://www.amazon.com/GL-iNet-GL...R2PX&psc=1

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.

Has anyone successfully used one of these of run wifi cameras in a hotel room? I bought a slate and have a couple of Wyze cams but couldn't get them to work. After half a dozen trips and hours spent going back and forth with GLI and Wyze I gave up. I try not to leave valuables in the room, but there are times when I can't lug my laptop and tablet around with me.
I do this all the time with a different router. Just remember to turn off DNS Rebinding Attack Protection (https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/3/setup/vixmini/more_settings/ [gl-inet.com]) if you have trouble trying to access the hotel's login website (captive portal).

Ya. It should. Name it the same network SSID as your Wyze cam and it will pick it up.

Thanks. Tried that, still doesn't work.

The hotel network blocks most of TCP/UDP ports to prevent users from streaming. You need setup VPN tunnel to bypass the limitations to make it work.

certainly , many old routers are compatible with openwrt, load openwrt firmware to let them like this and do more!

will this potentially limit internet speed per device if my devices are connected to this router and router connected to hotel wifi v/s connecting individual device to hotel wifi?

Prob dependent on the hotel speed. And you'll be sharing that bandwidth with other devices.

I am not very tech savvy. Can you use these as your main router at home? I am changing internet providers and with the one I am switching to you can provide your own router vs. paying for theirs, they provide the modem.

No. These are niche products. I'm using a Creta (just got it today) for the next 2.5 weeks as my main router. I am moving and wanted to pack my good routers. Very little is connected, and I will not be using my full Gigabit connection (Google Fiber). It's impossible to use the full connection. I'm using about 10% of it. For a no-thrills router, you can get a better one from TP-Link, ASUS, Netgear, D-Link, and the other larger companies for not too much more. You won't get all the bells and whistles, but that comes with higher-end routers and prices.


When deciding to purchase the Creta or not, I could have spend generally about the same on a traditional router. Performance would or rather should be better, but that's going to depend on a specific product. I can easily fit the Creta in my limited space in the car.

Install Tailscale on your home computer, make it an exit node, and set up this router to use that exit node. Will be not very fast but sufficient for video calls
