    Came here to leave the same comment. Everyone I talk to about GL.iNet is surprised about the capability in the small form. Plus it has a 2.5gb port for little money!

    Why not connect your Macbook to BT WiFi and use the wireguard client for Mac to connect back home? Surely quicker and a lot less faff.

    I have and I absolutely love it. The only issue I am having is when I have a mifi unit plugged Into the usb a port on the Asus to provide Internet n charge the mifi unit it doesn't seem to be able to pass the internet thru when the Asus is being powered by a power bank. It however the Asus can get internet from the mifi when the Asus is plugged into mains electricity

    I have a raspberry pi setup as my “travel” router which can do all this at a budget option. The only downside is for the non tech savvy people this method is less user friendly than the Asus device.

    This needs to be battery-powered and support sim cards, plus have an esim store where you can buy data for specific countries. Currently, I can't see any benefit to me when I'm travelling because I would need to use someone else's internet to get online. Usually there is no public internet available so having a sim/esim is very much needed.

    Let's say you're on the road a lot. Doesn't matter the reason why. Instead of setting up your laptop/switch/other internet accessible gadgets for each location, you can just connect to the RT-AX57 Go, and just modify the settings there. If you travel with kids or others, it more useful to have a connection their devices already knows and trust rather than trying to get everyone connected to the new location. You could also attach devices to the other usb/ethernet connection, so an external usb drive can become more of a nas. A lot of these devices also can act like firewalls, so it's extra security from random wifi that could have security issues. And this is just the device as a router. And as he said, it can work as a repeater or AP, who's price is much cheaper than a lot of the others currently on the market (wifi 6 AP for decent specs seem to cost around $80, about the same price as the RT-AX57 Go), so you're getting more functionality for basically the same price. Now, I'm not saying get this product. But if you do go away from home at least a couple times a year and want to have a network you trust, this is a helpful device.

    Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. “There’s nothing this can’t do” - lies, you can’t put a SIM card in it which is a pretty big fail.
