I bought this for a trip I'm currently on in Europe and so far it's been a great little travel router. Initially I bought it for a cruise coming up in October so we could purchase 1 Internet plan and share it between the two of us, and decided to use the Europe trip as a testing ground.
Overall it's been working great, the RAM can be a little light for those that want to use adguard home with a bunch of rules, while simultaneously trying to run a vpn and tailscale. I was initially running into the unit constantly crashing, but it turned out that all the adguard lists i was using was eating up all the available RAM (the threat intelligence feed itself has a million+ rules). I ended up ditching the use of adguard home on the router itself, and also ditching the use of my private Internet access vpn on the router as well. I instead opted to just connect the router itself to my tailscale network and have it use my pihole server back at home to handle dns queries and ad blocking. I was able to also setup the router to use my home pihole server as an exit node so all client traffic on the travel router looks like it's coming from my home making it easy to skirt any Netflix geolocation blocking no matter where I am. Being able to offload the ad blocking duties to my home pihole instance turned this into a pretty solid piece of kit and I'm happy I decided to buy it. Definitely something I will bring with me everywhere I go since it allows me to connect back to my network at home from wherever I am.
