You're clearly doing something wrong. I've got the predecessor to this (the MT1300) and it had no issues with speed/throughput during my testing.
I have had the same issue. I like the router and use it often but every once in a while it has an issue where the speed output is at a crawl. Usually a restart fixes it but if you do a quick Google it's a pretty common issue. Again I like this router and find it a great value for the functionality it provides.

It's crap. Used it at home and the speed constantly dropped to 500kb/s while the main router work flawlessly.
It's not at all crap. It's extremely feature rich, fast, and works great. Sounds more like what we used to call when I worked in tech support: "Bad user on device."

The T-Mobile hack no longer works for Internet tethering.
I don't know what your talking about but I have 2 T-Mobile business tablet sims that still work perfect by just changing the ttl with routers like these.

I just started looking at these yesterday so timing couldn't be better for me.
I'm getting ready to move south of the border and work on dual residency which requires staying put for about two years, at which point I can move back and forth between countries with ease. In the meantime I plan to connect to a friend's US based router while logging into any bank and brokerage accounts. Any recommendations on a low cost/low power solution? Right now I'm thinking of connecting an older (and cheaper) gen pi running tailscale.

Finally got a chance to actually test mine out this weekend. Worked FANTASTIC.

Was camping with starlink. The only way to get a signal was to put it at the far end of my campsite. Worked fine at my camper, but my friend on the next site over was just too far to get a reliable signal. Fired this up as an extender and it worked great. In fact we got a more stable signal at my spot using this than connecting to the starlink mini router.

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.
please help me understand, I get this device. connect the router to hotel network (the router has VPN setup ) and then connect all your devices through the router ? is that enough speed of the hotel to stream YouTube or Plex ? did I understand the purpose correctly ? I have been debating about this device.

The last time I tried to use this on a cruise ship for Internet sharing it didn't work. Anyone have tips.

Too bad they reduced the number of available LAN ports.

PS: A lot of people buy these routers to hide their true location on their laptops which is impossible if you have WiFi on.
You need an ethernet connectiion to do that. With the previous version there were two ports for connecting two devices but you can't do that anymore. You can connect a travel switch but then it gets real cumbersome, real fast.

- that is true but look at it this way:
Most of the devices these days are wireless. The only device that's not wireless is a PC. How many PCs and how much CAT cable are you planning on taking along while travelling? If you do really need more ports, just grab a router and/or switch and you will have more ports.

Can you bring this onboard a cruise ship (namely Holland America line), in Europe?

That's the general idea. Ideally you'll have all your devices with the saved network info, so as soon as you plug in the router everything starts to connect automatically. As for speed, that's dependent on the environment - the hotel. You'll get roughly the same speeds as you would get directly connecting your device to their network. Most of the time you're doing a wifi repeater mode, and luckily it has good captive portal recognition. It also supports ethernet if you ever luck out and get somewhere that still has that as an in room standard.

I mostly use it as a quality of life enhancer of not having to add all my individual devices with vpn capability. Really great on family vacation too when everyone is asking for the wifi passwords and such.

When it connects to the host network, it spoofs it's mac address and handles dhcp for your downstream devices. If you employ a VPN, then it will be across all the devices.

can you elaborate? i have an extra t-mobile biz tablet sim i don't have a great use for. do i need a full time phone to tether to the router? what is your use case?

i'm considering replacing my home att fiber internet with this setup, but i pull down 2-3TB a month so i am pretty sure that would be flagged and i'd get flagged and kicked off the plan.
