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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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'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.
