hook this up to a usb-c battery pack to keep on during the flight. go to your phone and connect to the router wifi address. then go through the standard process to logon to the GLI web portal address. then select the plane wifi. should pop up with the plane login. this works most of the time. this is great for multiple devices on a plane!
Was just about to post this. I've been waiting for it to return to this price again. Excellent router for travel.
Edit: See my reply. While I think the price could be lower, there are not many options for travel routers. With reduced competition, prices stay higher. This is generally regarded as the best WiFi 6 travel router.
sharing internet service is definitely a popular use case for travel router (think airline and mostly.. cruises).
but the best use case for me is to use the same network name as one i use at home, so when arrive a location, you just have one router to setup and all your device will connect as if you are at home.

I'm still using the Beryl MT1300 I got for $20 last year. This needs to be $50 at this point, passed on it last year at $75.
I agree. I didn't say it was an excellent price, just an excellent travel router. I need one for some travel coming up. There just aren't any better options in this general price range. The TP-Link AX3000 for $56 after Prime cashback is a cheaper option, but it does not run OpenWrt. It's new enough that reliability is unknown. I'd rather spend the extra $20 on a known product like this one instead of the TP-Link one.
Other people don't care about that and can look at that as an option. If you don't need a travel router, there are many other options.
sorry in advance, new to the travel router game. So I could buy an internet connection on a plane and use this thing to share to other devices? How does that work? Do I buy it on my phone and then connect the phone to the router?

you can watch some YouTube videos regarding the instructions,
first, you can buy the wifi with the phone,
then I see 2 options:
1. use the USB cable to tether & share the wifi through this router
2. clone the mac address of your phone, and use router to connect to the plane's wifi and share it

Nothing to be sorry about. This is an excellent travel router. I set it up on all my devices. Once I'm in the hotel I just need to connect it to the hotel wifi and all my devices are connected. On a cruise I purchase 1 Wi-Fi and all the devices in the room can use it.
If you decide to get one now, I suggest getting this other one - https://www.amazon.com/GL-iNet-GL...B0B2J7WSDK because the 1800 has a newer version of openWRT pre-installed. But AXT1800 is a bit bigger/heavier, which defeats the purpose of traveling.
