Hi Team,

An alternative travel router to the popular GL.iNet Mt3000 Beryl AX we see regularly talked about.
This one has similar if not the same specs, for ~$24 less, at the time of posting.

Looking for reviews or comparisons, I found this reddit post which says it performs similarly for network duties, with potentially faster USB transfer speeds. It also has a micro sd card slot that I don't think the Beryl has, and internal antennas. It is missing OpenRWT, so if that's your thing, this might be a pass.

The Beryl unit can sometimes be had on special for about this price, so maybe wait to see what the weeks sales brings, if that's your preference.

I haven't any experience with either of these units, so please feel free to chime in with recommendations before I pull the trigger myself. Happy shopping!

    Hi Team

    What is this? Your work Outlook, Slack, Teams?

      Bro calm down, it’s not a computer deal.

      • marshmall0w2 on 07/10/2025 - 10:07

        I was joking about the formality of the Hi Team part. But ok.

        • oooooooo ahhhhhhh on 07/10/2025 - 14:59

          I found it funny, unlike all the pissy pants that negged you

    How come these are so popular here? Am I the only one with a boring office job that never travels for work?

    • marshmall0w2 on 07/10/2025 - 10:08

      I travel a lot locally, interstate and internationally. And am also sort of a router hoarder hence why I know a lot about their pricing. Also what the others below said, essentially a really good travel router that can do CAPTIVA portals like gl inet standardizes and protects you (by masking, spoofing, and privacy blocking hotel and public wifis sniffing hacks) is hella convenient. Imagine having the same SSID and password, and security implements wherever you go, whenever.

      I use a GL.iNet one when the family goes on holidays. Main thing is that it uses the same wifi network name as home, so I connect a single device (like this) to the holiday wifi, and then all devices connect automatically. We often take our Amazon Echos with us for playing stories/music for the kids at bedtime, and changing their wifi network is a bit of a pain (reset and put it into pairing/setup mode and then go through the setup process again).

      We've found this method much easier (plus you can then use that router to tunnel into our home network for internal access, NAS access etc).

      Can't speak for the features of this TP-Link one though - just thoughts generally on travel routers.

        This is exactly what I do. Use the same wifi network and then route all the device traffic through it at the hotel. So much easier than individually connecting devices plus I get the benefit of being able to use a Chromecast or stream videos from USB/Micro SD via DLNA

      • Riker88 on 07/10/2025 - 11:42

        Interesting. Any impact on internet speed doing it this way (when sharing the one WiFi connection)? I am taking whole family overseas for few weeks, multiple hotels etc. Will be connecting 4 phones, 1 laptop, and 1 Amazon streaming device, maybe not all at once but at least a couple at a time

        • aleayr on 07/10/2025 - 14:03

          I've never had an issue with it - assuming the accommodation WiFi has adequate bandwidth, I've not had the router as a limiting factor that I've noticed.

        • ONEMariachi on 07/10/2025 - 20:51

          I do the same thing and haven't noticed any difference.
          I also plug an ssd into it for movies. That runs perfectly on an ipad with infuse when there is no internet access and can't access plex. Worked a treat going overseas recently. Internet in England absolutely suckkked. Thought we had it bad.

      • Goof on 07/10/2025 - 13:53

        Yup, same, this is the way. Traveling with kids, multiple devices, take my own Chromecast, much easier.

        Just don't forget to set up a VPN for the privacy benefits.

        I run a WireGuard instance on my home router and VPN to that, so not only do all the devices connect to the same WiFi name as always, they also get access to all the things at home as always (ie NAS).

        • aleayr on 07/10/2025 - 14:31

          Yep, we do similar, except with Tailscale. Devices at home with Tailscale can be an exit node for traffic (in our case, our NAS runs it), and our GL.iNet device has a Tailscale client. Was really easy to setup.

    • djkelly69 on 07/10/2025 - 10:10

      Good for personal travel as well, so you don't have connect the whole family's devices to every random hotel wifi you go to.

      • leftspeaker2000 on 07/10/2025 - 10:19

        Where are you getting the internet from, though ? Connecting to your phone ?

        • marshmall0w2 on 07/10/2025 - 10:21

          Hotel wifi, airport wifi, public area wifi, bus wifi, even premium paid wifi hotspots, mobile router devices popular in Asia, and so on. Hook that up to the gl inet / travel router asap.

        • djkelly69 on 07/10/2025 - 10:24

          See above comments, sums it all up pretty nicely.

    • Oh Daddy on 07/10/2025 - 11:09

      Another pretty solid use, when travelling with family, carry your own Chromecast and bam no issues of using someone else's account.

      • HiredGoon on 07/10/2025 - 22:56

        Or someone hacking yours I assume. Happened to us in a caravan park while on holiday, some random profile just appeared on our netflix account. Happened again, less than a day later, even after changing password. Been fine since, was compromised using on a public connection. Lesson learnt.

        I'm hoping this, coupled with using our own mini starlink, will leave us safe.

    How do people use these with networks that require some sort of html activation etc. ?
