I purchased a T-Mobile 5g home Internet gateway to put the sim in. I connected that gateway to a glinet router the Flint 2 to be exact. Change the ttl to 66 so the sim will use the device data and not the 10gb of hotspot data. I use this for backup Internet. I have cox hsi as my main Internet. Both are connected to the glinet router in fail over mode. You can PM me if you need any help.

A lot motels/hotels only allow only one device to connect per room. Using this router, you connect this to their wifi network and then you can connect your laptop, phone, tablet, streaming devices and anything else you may have to this router. The hotel network only sees one device.

Not bad. I got this for $78 last year. Great travel router. I use it to watch football while I'm out of the country and set up an open vpn connection to my home router. Works flawlessly and allows me to use a chrome cast via LAN for streaming on hotel TVs. Would recommend this router for travel and light usage

Community Reviews

This pocket travel router is best at turning hotel, cruise, RV, and campsite internet into one shared network for all your devices. It handles captive portals well after firmware updates, supports OpenVPN and WireGuard, and can route everything through a VPN or Tailscale for home access. It also works as a repeater, access point, or extender, with USB C power and international plugs adding convenience. Main drawbacks are occasional speed drops, limited LAN ports, and some hotel or cruise networks blocking it. A compact pick for travel setups that need flexible networking.

Common Questions (6)

  • Yes. It can act as a wireless repeater for hotel Wi‑Fi, and newer firmware reportedly improved captive-portal login handling. Once connected, downstream devices can auto-join the router's saved SSID, which is useful when hotels limit devices per room.

    arooniBaudLordCleverCreature256MSJ54

  • Yes. It connects to the hotel or ship network once, then your laptop, phone, tablet, streaming devices, and other gear connect to the router instead of the venue network. That helps bypass per-device limits and keeps all devices on one local network.

    danmorgan156wrong20BaudLordMSJ54

  • Yes. OpenVPN and WireGuard are easy to set up, and it can route all downstream devices through the VPN so traffic appears to come from home. It works well for overseas travel and streaming, though throughput may be lower than a direct connection.

    whoshoyuBaudLordCleverCreature256pechango

  • Yes. It has been used successfully in RV setups with Starlink and a hotspot, and as a home router with OpenVPN running 24/7. It can also be part of a failover setup with a cellular gateway and a primary broadband line.

    CleverMeat142luvone29R@VENpechango

  • It has fewer LAN ports than the previous version, and some users wish it had one more or even three total ports. You can repurpose the WAN port as LAN or add a small USB-C-powered switch to expand wired connections.

    vortexmakrhymes116pechangorhymes116

  • No. This model does not have a SIM card slot, so mobile data typically comes from a phone hotspot or a separate gateway feeding the router.

Any suggestions how to utilize this while traveling so I can connect to my PC at home if needed? Anything else I need to purchase?

So just to be clear, if I am working remote and I don't want my employer to know I'm working remote outside of my geographic restriction, I can buy two of these, set one up at my house, bring one with me, and it will look like I'm logging in from my house?

Would there be any benefit to buying another one and setting it up at a friend's house down the street in case the one at my house goes down?
Just wondering... Who do you for?

I love this router. Amazing when staying at hotels. Recently I stayed at a hotel and it could not connect at all. Tried google for solutions. None of them worked. Tried connecting to LAN port, that also failed. Looks like hotels are catching up.

I'm an event planner who's on the road around 2-3 weeks a month, with about 75% of that time being out of the USA. I bring this with me on every work trip. It works great and allows my traveling devices (Chromecast/Laptop/Phone/etc) to automatically connect to the internet. I only have to sign in to the wifi via the router portal (and my only complaint is that it's sometimes very difficult to get the captive portal to open). I don't have to reconnect daily and it really seems like my speeds are faster on it than the limited amount the free hotel wifi options give you, but never actually tested speeds.

If you travel a lot and spend as many nights in hotels as I do, I highly recommend it.

any reason to wait for the upcoming Beryl 7 (teased on their website) or get the Slate 7 instead? I already have a Netgear Nighthawk 5g hotspot that has wireless routing as well, but i dont think it can be used as a wireless bridge to connect devices to a captive portal hotspot etc that are used in hotels or public areas.

I also recommend this. I travel frequently for work and it's nice to keep all my devices on a common network name / ssid and just plug this router in my hotel room. Just have to join the local hotel network on one device thru the router and everything is online good to go.
With Ethernet cable you just plug-in, but not sure how to setup wireless wifi without PC/laptop to config. Can you tell me how to do so with hotel wireless wifi?

Great setup. Few things though:
1. I used the internet gateway for a month and it pulled native data without TTL upgrade or adding an additional router in front of the gateway
2. Even if we use a router, that just helps with Native data vs hotspot data with TTL adjustment. Without the IMEI update, we still risk being flagged by Tmobile for using business sim in a internet gateway, unless you have tricks to update the gateway to mask IMEI.

That said, do you think investing in Flint 2 @ 114 is worth it?

Quote from coachclass View quoted comment :
Do you mean you share internet via USB from the phone to this router, and then change the TTL for packets sent from the router? So your T-Mobile cell provider can't tell that the router traffic should count as hotspot and not on-device cell traffic?
Yes it allows me to use unlimited device data instead of limited hotspot data.

These are great for anyone traveling with little kids and you use a monitor. We have a Nanit and you cannot connect them to a hotel WiFi. Connect the Nanit to the router and the router to WiFi. Works great on cruises to have multiple devices one connection.

I used it to set up a demo environment at the hotel. It connects to the hotel WiFi as the uplink (in "WiFi Modem" mode), and all other devices connect to it using a fixed SSID (in a "one-for-all" Internet setup). I also used "GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2" ($26 on Amazon), which is lower-end than this but equally capable.

I tried this, but it didn't work. I'm on Metro. What service do you have?
