How does this work in a hotel where you have to log in through a captive portal to activate wifi for your hotel?
I have had this model for a few months and used it 6 or 7 times at a few different branded hotel chains. At first I struggled getting the captive portal at a Residence Inn. I think the key is to try to open a non-encrypted URL. This process has never failed me since I figured it out:
  • Boot up router
  • Ensure your device (iPhone, laptop, etc.) is connected to the router (should happen automatically after 1st time)
  • Log in to router admin panel (I recommend using the gl.iNet app. It seems a little snappier than using a browser and it keeps you logged in)
  • Configure "repeater mode" to the hotel's network
  • On your device browse to 1.1.1.1
  • Captive portal should pop up
  • Complete captive portal log in

I should have added that I really like the router.
Speed seems as good as without it. This makes sense as the router is super fast compared with typical hotel Wi-Fi so it doesn't add any noticable lag.
You only need to log in the the hotel network one time instead of once for each device (once they are all initially configured to the Beryl network). I could see this being a huge benefit for families with a ton of devices.
It seems to maintain the connection to the hotel network, even when you are away, and reconnects instantly when you return. I haven't had to re-authorize over and over which I used to have to do frequently.

I'm guessing this also is good for privacy too especially at hotel? Does it have vpn built in?

I must add that their Mudi model which is also GSM sim enabled is simply the best bang for the buck. With these travel routers, speed is never a priority but portability is, and because Mudi has an inbuilt battery, works as GSM hotspot as well s a repeater like Beryl, and also serves as a battery bank, it is unbeatable. I have owned almost every model they have and this is from experience.
I eventually ended up buying 4 Mudi one for each family member but really we only use one since our independent travels dont happen all at the same time. Sadly the others are sitting almost unused, so you got to pay attention to what you want.

Any suggestion on a VPN that would work with this travel router?
It supports OpenVPN and WireGuard VPN of your choice.

I've had this for a little over a year and have had zero issues with it. It works amazingly for VPN with a kill switch so that you can ensure that you are only connected to the internet if the vpn is active. I use it in offices, overseas, and for places with public WiFi. Great for getting work done on the go. I've only had one issue with connecting to a login portal at a hotel in Vietnam, but was able to google a workaround, then just reset through config when I left.

Just to put it out there, you can use any travel router for cruise ships/hotels. They all do the same thing just with different speeds and capabilities

This is also great for cruises where they base your cost on per device. Hook this up first and tie to your account and then connect all your devices to the gl to save. Granted this only works when in your room, but definitely helps for those cruise line that charge per device.
Have you actually done this? Can you confirm that it actually works?

I would buy the internet package on a cruise, but I am not paying per device.

I can confirm this works. We just came back from Wonder of the Seas 2 weeks ago. I had about 6 devices connected. Also worked on previous cruises on RCCL dating back to last year Oasis, Harmony, Mariner...

I really like this router. I got it for a bit more from a previous deal and have been using it for a few days now. The only issue I've had so far is setting up VPN using NordVPN - for some reason, it refuses to connect and throws an error no matter which server I use. It appears there's something in the ovpn files provided by NordVPN that this router doesn't like. I tried with PIA instead and the VPN connection worked like a charm.

Setup for WireGuard. It is easier to maintain, more secure, and much more performant (throughput) from VPn server-client perspective. You won't go back to OpenVPN
