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

No. Unless the VPN server discloses the logging, VPN encrypts the data transfer without exposing your IP location. Also if you talk about the scanning mobile wifi to track yours, You can turn on the random or cloned MAC in Windows. If they can track down the location, the internet world should be the safe place without crimes.
We are talking about different scenarios. I'm talking about your own device like a work laptop knowing your location by scanning WiFi not the remote device or gateway you'reconnecting to, randomized MAC doesn't matter in that scenario.
VPN will not help with that.

Lots of people use these routers to hide their physical locations from their own work laptops. That's the scenario

I got one to see if I can figure out how to set it up so I can VPN and remote connect to my home network from where ever I am.
Tailscale, don't forget to set it as an exit node

You'll need a second one (or a different GL.iNet router) to do that... one stays at home and the other travels with you
Not exactly true, you could just run tailscale on the traveling computer.

I used this one last year (paid full price) on my trip to Italy. It comes with international plugs so that was a plus. Stayed at 4 different hotels and it worked amazing in each one and I had Tailscale setup on it before I left so I was able to check in my home server and self-hosted services back home. I let my brother-in-law borrow it for his trip to Greece and he loved it as well.

works great when I bought it for a travel trip. Connected to Hotel Wifi and Apple TV worked flawlessly.

edit: Do you guys ever tried running custom firmware on these units?

Quote from FuschiaDeer1674 :
Can someone explain the purpose of this when traveling? If you are in a hotel and using the hotel wifi, how is this any better? The thing is using this... if you connect to a wifi that is dangerous, this doesn't protect it right? I'm confused about people talking about connecting multiple devices to this while on vacation in a hotel. How is it different from multiple devices connected to it via wifi?

Now what if you are using your own 4g or 5g wifi hotspot from your phone to tether on your laptop? Would this be any help? How is it any different than just using your phone to tether the data? Would it be different if you have 3 different devices then? I'm confused what is the purpose of this? Does it make the hotel wifi more faster and stable?

The thing is my 4g or 5g hot spot from my iphone with my laptop is stable already. What about the benefit be of it using it with my iphone and the laptop compared to me using data on iphone or tether as hotspot to laptop?
The other convenience factor (not your security question) is that once you connect this device to your hotel WiFi, all your devices will automatically connect as if they were home since it has this router's personal ssid/password saved and will connect as soon as it becomes available (like walking into your home).

outside of its use as a travel router, has anyone figured out a good use case for this at home?

i have an extra tmobile data sim card and a phone if that helps, maybe set it up as a backup internet on an extended outage? not sure what the use case of this could be outside of a travel router.

Quote from emofals :
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?
you seem pretty knowledgeable about this; if i have some valid IMEIs (samsung a9+ tablets) can i clone those and then it looks like it's just pulling down a massive amount of data on a shitty tablet? or maybe that flags me because someone in data analytics is like 2TB on that device? no way.

Couldn't make xray to work on this, ended up setting it up on Debian and using beryll only as access point. My goal it to share MSC wifi one device plan with multiple devices.

It's crap. Used it at home and the speed constantly dropped to 500kb/s while the main router work flawlessly.
Definitely doing something wrong. This router is flawless, using it as my main home router with openvpn connected 24/7 to a switch with no issues. Highly recommend glinet, lots of features in a small device.
