Thank you so much for this video! Purchased a Beryl AX, set it up with Nord, and brought it to Sint Maarten this week. Walked into our timeshare and low and behold there is a Ruckus H550 on the wall by the living room TV. Could not have gotten any luckier! Plugged in the AX and it connected immediately. We have over a dozen devices connected. Even brough a long enough Cat5 cable so the AX can be placed in from of the balcony door and we have access down on the beach. I can't believe how well this thing works! Keep the videos coming!

It's been on my list for awhile to get one of these. Just did it. Amazon has a $31 coupon right now for the Beryl AX bringing the price to $79 before tax.

I just bought one of these and was recommended this video out of the blue. Gd google knows too gd much

This is the exact video I was looking for! Every other video skips or is very brief on how this router connects to the internet. Thank you so much for giving us a demonstration!

Thanks a million! This saved me! I am currently traveling for work. I am currently using my GL-iNet AC 1300 in the hotel Wi-fi while I am using my work laptop, work mobile phone, personal mobile phone, and personal iPad. It works great. It also worked great when I was at work troubleshooting a new firewall installation. And lastly, I used it at the airport to safeguard my network traffic. Thanks again! Great video. Very well explained.

I have the slate and I've been using it for more than a year as my home router. It's perfect. I can't complain about it at all. I always have a VPN enabled with adguard home to protect my connection that much more. You can stop your tv from spying on you so that's a plus by adding a blocklist.

I have a Slate AX (chosen over the Beryl AX because of the faster Wireguard throughput) - it's awesome. I absolutely love it. When I get to my hotel I get my stuff squared away, get the router out, and connect to the wifi on this, and bam - all my other stuff is already set up to use my router's Wifi so it's just online. I then leave the hotel, go do work at the office or wherever I am, and when I get back the router is still in my room, online, and wifi is waiting. I've never had any issues with cleaners turning it off or anything (though to be fair I do also reduce the number of times they visit during a stay). It's such a great little companion, all my family's gear is configured to connect to it as well. This now means when we go traveling somewhere on holiday I only need to worry about getting one device onto the destination network, be it a hotel or a family's house - I'm not having to then be IT support to absolutely every wifi enabled bit of tech that came with us.

I have a somewhat ironic update to this. I have found the power requirements of the Slate AX to be annoying. It requires 5v 4A. While it does come with a power adapter capable of this, there are limited alternate power delivery methods. I'm currently solving a problem involving internet access when off-grid, say on a remote road trip, or 4WDing somewhere to camp. I have chosen a Starlink dish, and I am in the process of converting it to run off 12V so it can use the same deep cycle battery system that powers the fridge, camp lights etc and is recharged by either the vehicle engine or solar. The Starlink uses 48V, though thankfully there are already ways to use adapters to take 12V up to 48V for this. I even found an awesome little thing called a Boondocker Dishy Dualie that converts the power AND handles PoE injection in the one small board - most other solutions separate these two tasks over different devices. It also has a method of powering your router as well, either via PoE or a 48V outlet on the side. Coming back to the Gl.inet router, its adapter won't run off 48V, and it is too power hungry to use PoE. And on top of all that, the circuit in the Dishy Dualie unit to power a router have a 3A fuse. In the end it turns out the Beryl AX uses 5V 3A, and it's possible to buy adapter cables to take PoE out of an ethernet connection and split it off to USB-C. So... guess I'm going to buy a Beryl after all. :)

Another great use for travel router: cruise ships. It’s similar to the RV situation. But cruise ships cost even more, usually around 20 bucks a day. I used one for my last cruise as a repeater. I had to spoof my phone’s MAC address on the router for the ship to think it was my phone.

Bonus points for me because my non-technical wife can now bring this technical travel kit along even when I'm not there and still use the Chromecast. I just laminated some instructions and placed them into the travel case with the router, chromecast, cables etc. Perfect!

Which travel SIM would you recommend?

When on vacation time is of the essence, so the convenience of this router simplifies things...

Bought this one for myself for Christmas 🎄 Set it already up and testing works just perfect in my home environment (all Unifi gear). Looking now forward to my next travel abroad next year 😊 Love that gadget 😌🙏

I've got the AX1800, which I've already used for connecting to networks when I'm away. I'm using it for iPhone, iPads (Multiple), Telescopes, and laptops. Got it working great with my UDM Pro using Wireguard. It's great as I can setup in the middle of a field, and have a nice stable connection for everything.

I purchased a Beryl AX a couple months ago in preparation for a family vacation. While en route to the destination, it worked great as outlined in the video to provide connectivity to my family’s devices without reconfiguring the devices. Once at the destination, I enabled the Beryl’s VPN (wireguard client back to a UniFi UDM Pro) to provide connectivity to a UniFi G4 Instant. As I used the same SSID as my home network, no reconfiguration of the G4 Instant was needed. I was very surprised how well it worked. Beryl was over 500 miles away from UDMP. Both routers were behind typical home ISP connections (UDMP>DOCSIS & Beryl>GPON). No stuttering. Maybe a second of delay. Definitely plan to do it again when needed.

I have this exact model and use it on Holland America cruise ships, this has been amazing on my last cruises as they have upgraded to starlink for the onboard wifi!

I have that same travel router and it's great.

I just purchased the GL.iNet Beryl AX to bypass device limits in campgrounds and Hotels, and for the added security. We have, and will be camping at a campground in the western Sierra's that has ZERO cell signal but does offer paid WiFi that allows 2 devices. Last year we used our Starlink with minor success due to the 100 foot trees. We ended up using the campsite's paid WiFi, but w/o a travel router could only use 2 devices. VoIP with Starlink was no-go due to the many drop outs but streaming was tolerable with some buffering. VoIP did work with the paid WiFi but everyone found that Facetime worked better, to our surprise, but it saved our lives since my wife owns her own business and NEEDs to stay in contact via text and voice. You mention the adverse effect that double NAT has on VoIP and since using the travel router in repeat mode with a captive portal will create a double NAT I have a question. My question is this: Is there any way to fix the double NAT problem so we can use a cell phone via WiFi calling? Mark

Good video. Thanks! I own one of these and travel a lot. I mostly use it as a repeater with the bonus of having Adguard for blocking ads on all my devices.

Sweet, I needed something like this.

These things work great. Thanks for sharing, Chris. Got a couple of them for a couple of unique use cases. The GL.iNet iPhone app is good for a quick config change too. I was thinking about a UniFi Express for this, but for about half the cost and the side switch for added convenience is really great.

Haha great timing, just got one of these for Christmas 😂🤓 Really good idea re the Roku stick BTW - will pop that in my bag on the next trip too!

I went and bought one :) thanks Chris !

This is a great device for sure! The fact that it's OpenWRT is fantastic!

Great video! If you need to connect more than a couple devices to the Internet every time you move around to a different hotel, a travel router is definitely needed. Just to remember the various situations I had to set up my family's devices to a particular network gives me the creep. Such a waste of time, and a travel router sounds like a very good solution for this!

This is awesome video, back in the day I used to travel with a spare router, but as more and more hotels took away the ethernet cable. I pretty much stopped using it. I didn’t realize we could utilize routers like this to act as a repeater. Very very cool. I’m definitely going to check one of these out. Thanks for making a great video as usual.

I have a few GL.iNet routers, from 2 of the AR750S to the GL-AXT1800 that I carry every day in my bag. One of the most important features is ensuring your devices only ever connect to your travel router and no other SSIDs, repeating any upstream networks you may connect to. I also travel quite frequently in the air, and I will purchase the in-flight WiFi from the flight and then connect my travel router to the airplane network, and then rebroadcast that WiFi out to the rest of the passengers on the plane for free. I QoS that network of course so one passenger doesn't hog the whole connection by streaming their Netflix or Plex channels. I've been doing this for many years with my AR750S, and now my AXT1800. It works great and nobody on the plane is the wiser. One of the biggest downsides with repeating hotel WiFi is the captive portal will reset every 6-12 hours so you'll need to re-login into the captive portal landing page to continue to use the WiFi. There's no way to keep the connection active across multiple days, even with MAC cloning.

The only reason I don't care for this setup in a hotel space is a possible shared throttle limit since the hotels network treats it as one device and the throttle limits are usually set per MAC, unless someone knows if any hotels would be dynamic enough to somehow make the limit be per room number, like a dedicated VLAN per room.

Thanks for the detailed video Chris. I just purchased one via your link. I honestly hadn't thought about using these travel routers like the way you mentioned. We recently had a baby and travel with baby cameras/monitors + IoT 'sound machines' and it's a pain to have to reconfigure them each time.

The way I see it, most of the time when you travel you aren't getting high speed internet. So you won't often take advantage of higher speeds. So I imagine an ideal travel router as something cheap, small, and maybe power efficient. So I got the AR300M used for $10. It still supports Adblocking, OpenVPN, USB file sharing, etc. Plus its small and runs on USB. I do wish though it was USB C instead of microUSB.

Would love a video of what you would pack when traveling after watching this I added the Beryl AX and a HD Chromecast with Google TV to my cables/adapters, usb power suppy, and backup battery.

I have a MUDI that I have traveled with for several years now. I love the versatility of it, but do I occasionally get frustrated as well. I like the MUDI because of its integrated battery and cellular radio. This was amazing when I had Google Fi, where a data only sim was super cheap. My biggest frustration is that it seems like the wireless radios become unstable after several hours of use.

I have a ONT/router/AP combo thing that my ISP provides which I use to cover one corner of my home and another quite good TP-link router that I use in AP mode that I use to cover the majority of my home. Never ran into problems with wifi on the tp-link one but that ISP-provided once needs to be restarted daily for optimal performance. I guess it's just with cheap routers their firmware and memory isn't that stable.

Well Done

I have run triple NAT in some cases, although I don't do that much with VoIP it's usually not an issue because the things you need to get around NAT you can't anyway because you can't punch through the main NAT connection. Occasionally it is nice to be able to connect into your own router from the WAN side occasionally from across the hotel Wi-Fi if they allow that type of thing. and Now I'm not saying I have a high sample size but most of the hotels I have used ethernet at do still have a captive portal! I was at one where I connected and I had to re-open Firefox and had about 100 tabs redirected to the captive portal that was fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's when I decided Dailey Firefox profile back ups are the way to go. And some don't even have ethernet in any room as you know Wi-Fi will just solve everything. Yeah that'll work when I'm trying to stream outbound 1080 P video for a live broadcast of an event with 100 people in the room.

Set up a VPS on free tier cloud. Configure a vpn. Travel router will auto connect and you can punch holes through the nat straight to your hosts. It's how I used to get around CG-NAT.

Thanks for the guide, you've answered a few questions I had about how to setup the VPN using a third party service. I have GL-SFT1200 version / AC1200, I believe its the regular Beryl version. Its a very simple version of the Beryl AX . There almost no extra memory on board, so I tried and installed AdGuard, but it seem to bring the AC1200 to its knees. I ended up uninstalled AdGuard. I'll have to consider upgrading before my next trip.

On my last business trip, I took a Unifi Express with me. I had to cut the zip tie holding the network cable in the room from being useful and did mostly the same thing as Chris. The problem I ran into was the useless low speed they give per login to the network. 5Mbps is unacceptable with the cost of a 1Gbps connection these days. I don't want to pay the $5+ a day for a few more Mbps. I also had problems getting PIA to work as a client with Unifi, and I do like the fact the one in this video did repeater WAN and had Ad Guard built-in. May just pick one of these up. I also have a mAP from Mikrotik, but it's only WiFi4 and is not very powerful.

Just bought one. One feature I wish it had: Power over Ethernet. That way I can just leave a switch setup in my camper. No need to even think about power.

If you work remote, this is the start of working anywhere in the world but being perceived as working in the u.s.

I connect an old smartphone without sim card to the hotel wifi and then I create a usb cable (the charging cable) connection to my pc and share the connection with the pc (inside the smartphone network settings) . Since the WiFi of my laptop is not in use now, I create a wifi Hotspot with it and now we have our own private network. I use the Gnome desktop on a Linux machine, it has the WiFi Hotspot option preinstalled in the networking settings. Years ago I did the same with a Windows machine, but I installed a program for that (no idea anymore what it was). A dedicated router is a far more elegant solution, but if your video streaming box is not accepted by the hotel login (happens nearly all the time to me), this is a pretty simple solution.

Awesome video, thank you. Do the included apps built into the router need subscriptions to use them, or after a certain period of time?

Thanks for the video, Can you tell me something about the range for receiving a Hotspot, such as at a campsite. thank you in advance

Thank you for a very informative video. I have the GL/MT3000 model. I found it difficult to get past the capture sites in hotels. even when I try to use Mac clone address. Do you have any good ideas about that.

Thanks, this is helpful. I'm finding the bigger problem is hotels/casinos locking down their televisions. You can't change the input at times. I bought a universal remote which helps sometimes. Looks like they are using the phone jack in the TV to lock down certain features. Removing that connection can cause problems. I haven't gotten around this yet.

Great video. Enjoyed it and set it up. Some how I can't figure how to enable wifi 6. I couldn't find it in the Beryl documentation. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks to your recommendation and review, I have purchased my first travel router :-) Beryl AX GL-MT3000. Setting it up now. I was wondering all you are doing via pc, can be implemented via Mac? For example how do you check the pig? On PC I would use "run" and ifconfig, but I am new to Mac as well. Thank you for your time and great channel.

Again an excellent video. It covers just about every question I had for selecting between the Slate AX and the Beryl AX. The only answer which remains is regarding the support for EAP. Not being an expert in networks - Will I be missing out on this feature? The router will be used mainly to connect to ethernets when travelling but I can not figure out how common it is for hotels to use this kind of authentication.

Love my Beryl AX just wish it had a battery (easily replaceable one). And they should definitely add Cloudflare Tunnels to it.

Great video, thank yoU! Question: Is the Tailscale option (in the GL iNet Admin interface) as good as using 2x travel routers, with one setup at home using your location there and VPN, with the second with you in a hotel room overseas (for instance)? I'd like to travel wherever with the location (virtually) set to my "home base", so to speak.

this video convinced me to get one. thank you thank you for showing how to set this router up. if we set the router using wifi connection via phone browser, how do we set that portal login you've shown us in windows, there's like "open browser and connect" will it do the same if we're using our phone browser?

This is a really cool idea. As a network engineer whom travels a lot I had no idea this was a thing with captive portal and a repeater in the mix. however I can see once these catch on and more and more people start using them and circumventing the billing process with multiple devices they will start putting measures in place to block them. One way to do this is to a black listed enable rouge detection list and have the hotel AP's spam your SSID with deauth packets effectively making it useless. This is a grey area with the FCC however there is nothing stopping a lawyer from writing up a ToA that is part of your agreement when you stay at the hotel. Good practice here to not add more fuel to the fire is to turn down the antenna gain (transmit power set to "low") so you are not causing more interference and further giving them a reason to "deauth" you.. I still want to try it and use it as long as I can. Hopfully hotels and paid public wifi wont catch on, but when it comes to making a profit (even a small one) companies will do anything and everything they can.

I am surprised no one mentioned that it is connected to PRC. I actually find it interesting that all these kind of cheap devices are having some security history and related to the PRC

Nice video Chris, I have this router myself and it's much better to travel with instead of in the past havin to connect each device and now bringing my own streaming device. One thing I have started doing and is not for everyone, I disable broadcasting 2.4G, all of the devices we bring can connect over 5G and the rooms are small enough that it will connect from anywhere.

Would love to hear more about what's wrong with NordVPN?

Chris, two questions as follow-up: 1) First, I'd love to get more details on finding and using Ethernet ports in hotel rooms. I used to see and use them regularly, but they seem to have disappeared from common availability. The last few hotels I've stayed at, including Hilton and Hyatt properties, have not had an obvious port. So, tips and tricks on where to _find_ them, and how to _test_ or verify that they work would be useful. (This might be a separate video; Maybe you could record port searches across a few of your upcoming trips, and then knit it all together?) 2) The number one problem I've had with all four of my various travel routers (DLink years ago, GL.iNet these days) has been getting the captive portal to appear, so I can get through it. It looked like you used a Windows-based feature to notice the Wi-Fi issue and then access the captive portal; is that correct? Is there a similar way to force a captive portal recognition on macOS? Or a general mechanism to force it to appear? It's absolutely _maddening_ to know exactly what needs to happen, but not be able to trigger it...

Great video! Maybe you could create one showing how to setup PyVPN at home and connect to it using this device (and/or others). Thanks.
