No doubt this is a good price but keep in mind TP-Link will lock you down with a proprietary firmware. For $30 more (no promo price, may go down soon), you may want to consider Beryl 7 from GL.iNet. You get an OpenWrt based firmware which allows you install whatever specific need you may have for your travel setups. Beryl also comes with much more powerful processor: Quad 2GHz vs TP-Link's dual 1.3GHz. This matters quite a bit if you intend to tunnel all your traffic back home or through a third party VPN provider. New GL.iNet gear also support USB-C PD, so you can use laptop/phone chargers that support 9V or 12V. In cases you want to run from a battery bank Beryl will be a lot more power efficient.
(There's also the fact that that Beryl comes with 2x2.5GbE ports as opposed to 2.5GbE + 1GbE of TP-Link, but I doubt that matters for 99.99% of traveler router users)

IT experts, Hegseth and Trump, said TP-link products are "dangerous spyway for Chy-na".
Page has been turned, the CEO of TP-link is seeking Trump's Gold Card right now: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/ar...-gold-card. Soon he will be the best company CEO after Intel from Trump.

I'm pretty sure this has the same quad core 2ghz Mediatek MT7987A CPU as the Beryl 7. The WiFi 6 version of this, the WR3002X, shared the dual 1.3 Mediatek MT7981B with the Beryl AX. And TP-link can run off a battery as well.
But yes, the Beryl does have significantly better software.
