CamelCamelCamel.
GL-MT300N-V2 mini travel router is the upgraded version of GL-MT300N. It is powered by MTK 7628NN 580Mhz SoC with a better Wi-Fi and a faster OpenVPN encryption. Memory increases from 64MB to 128MB. Wi-Fi Converter: Wi-Fi is extremely popular but still may not be available at anywhere. If you are still using a wired network at hotels or cafes, this mini router is able to convert it to a wireless network for sharing the Wi-Fi with all your devices. Even in places like cafes or restaurants with Wi-Fi, it may not be a good idea to expose your devices to the public network directly. This router converts a public Wi-Fi to your own Wi-Fi with a firewall and then works as an agent for securer surfing. The agent connects all your devices when switching to a new Wi-Fi. You don’t have to input password for each of your devices. The router is also able to convert your phone tethering, or 3G/4G USB modems into a private Wi-Fi. Portable Travel Mate: The router is lightweight, pocket friendly, and portable. It can be plugged into any laptops, power banks, or 5v DC adapters for power supply. Open Source and Programmable: OpenWRT is pre-installed and backed with a repository of 4000+ software packages. Pre-installed with an OpenVPN client, it works with 20+ VPN service providers. Tor firmware is available for download. The firmware is under active development and can be updated online with one click. Larger Storage and Extendibility: The router is equipped with 128MB RAM and 16MB Flash, which can be further extend using external USB sticks. There are 2 Ethernet ports, 1 UART, and 4 GPIOs available for hardware DIY hobbyists. It is an ideal portable gateway for IoT (internet of things) development.

So many things going on out there. Thanks for every detail
Thought I can connect my playstation wirelessly which far away from my router (used to be close enough to connect wired)
There are lots of uses but say you're in a hotel, you would connect this to the hotel internet (ethernet or wifi) and create a wifi network for yourself. That will let you connect multiple devices to the once connection and you can run it through a VPN to be safe or get around blocks.
You can also plug in a USB 4G thingy and use that internet on the go.
They don't use much power so you can power them from a usb battery or your laptop.
I'm going on a cruise (never been on one before but I'm told net access on board is super expensive) with some family members. Would I be able to use this to create a local network wifi (no internet) with a tethered USB drive? the idea being we could have a big drive attached with a few movies ect but also at the end of the day upload images off of phones etc as a way to back up or clear space?
.. or maybe this is just an economical way to share pay by the hour internet to our family rather then each device logging into the wifi for a timed session?
This amazon review seems to answer 'yes' to all of the above.

I took one on a cruise about a year ago. Did something similar and it worked great. I just had a USB stick that I plugged in.
The signal didn't get far out of the cabin because of all the metal but I could take it around the ship with a battery.
I also had a one device internet package and used the router as my device, so I could connect my phone and tablet to it, and so could the family if they were in range.
@Elijha: Get everything set up and working before you go, so when you're on the ship everything connects when you turn it on. You don't want to be fiddling about on holidays.
I took it to Bunnings and had a practice on their wifi from the carpark.
@BigLeviathan: I think there's some sort of shipping network if you're in a shipping lane, which is expensive but the South Pacific is no good.
I don't think New Caledonia even let visitors use their mobile network.
Thanks
How does it compare to GL.iNet GL-AR150 Mini Travel Router, WiFi Converter, OpenWrt Pre-Installed, Repeater Bridge, 150Mbps High Performance, OpenVPN, Programmable IoT Gateway for the same price (without discount).
But it's not yellow…
The AR150 has a max speed of 150MBs and has 64mb ram vs the 300MBs and 128mb or ram for the MT300.
But no hotel gives 150mbps of speed to it customers.
Thanks for pointing that out.
DO any these have external upgradeable antenna's to boost signal?
Sorry noob q, i fairly know what router is but what does this router do? Why is it called travel?
