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.

  • 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.

Would anyone use this at home for every day purpose? My linksys router stopped working right after I changed network password
Sure you can, it's still a wireless router at the end of the day and a very good one at that. Would be fine for home use, just as long as it properly covers your footprint.

I've heard whisperings of changing your ttl resulting in getting your line dropped by the carrier. You're circumventing their policies and they don't like that. I think it's a ToS breach. Attempt at your own risk.

This model doesn't have a sim card slot. If I bought a sim card while traveling, I would still have to insert the sim card into my phone and turn on phone hotspot right?

For that use case, there's not much of a difference between having people connect directly to travel sim card phone hotspot vs connect travel router to travel sim card phone hotspot then people connect to travel router, right?

If you wanted a bunch of devices connecting to your phone and draining your battery, then fine. Separation of church & state though...having a hotspot on the phone is good for those off chance needs but if I needed a more dedicated router for devices to connect to, it's not going to be my phone.
