I carry a 4k Roku and my own wifi router/repeater, GL.iNET. Feel like a dork but plug and play and it works. All traffic goes through VPN. Don't have to connect to any network new networks except on the travel router.

Travel router+junk email address. Using your own firewall on the travel router can provide a lot of protection. It can also be preconfigured with a VPN, so all traffic can be hidden from the local network. Make sure you have browser settings/add-ons that force https. The other nice thing with a trav

Gl-iNet make travel routers that can run Tailscale. They're easier to setup than a Pi. (I've done both). Plug it into your network and enable subnet routing in Tailscale EDIT And exit node

Get a WiFi Travel Router and connect all your stuff to it's WiFi, then you only have to connect the TR to the hotel WiFi and everything is online instantly, with a connection that you control. Also, i would bring a dedicated Apple TV that I plugged into the hotel TV, and then all my home stuff is wi

I bring a GL.iNet travel router with me. Easy to log in to any captive network with it (using vpn if necessary), and then the Firestick logs into that. One more thing to carry but it’s small and it’s actually easier.

I love travel routers so much! Especially the Gl.iNet ones but the real Achilles heels of them, and most other portable cellular modems, are the antennas.

The the two points would read „routed; AP dual band…“ An SFP port would be expected to be the uplink to the main network. Which can not provide PoE. But however: no, I doubt

Lots of great answers here, but yes, a travel router is definitely worth it, especially if you travel a lot. I have an older model GL.iNet, and it works perfectly for me. One sign-on and everything I own connects automatically to the router.

What you're describing is the WiFi-as-WAN feature, sometimes called 'Wireless ISP mode' or 'Wireless WAN' in router firmware. Solid options: Plug-and-play, low hassle: GL.iNet Slate AX (GL-AXT1800), around 120 USD. Designed exactly for this use case. WiFi-as-WAN is a first-class feature in the GUI.

Yeah that's fair. Since I just got the Mudi 7 I'm carrying both to test them out, but the Mudi 7 is holding its own and like you said, able to adapt to just about any situation. I fly out in two weeks for a cruise, so will be able to test it on airline wifi as well as on the cruise ships network whi
