Slate AX

kinda feel your pain on this one - found out the same thing when setting up for my partner. the owner-only teleport is a weird limitation. the clean workaround is to generate wireguard configs for each site you want her to reach, then load them into the utr under other vpn. you can set up a primary

A GL.iNet Slate AX (GL-AXT1800) Travel Router would be nice. I have several that I always bring for the racks I babysit, so I can go around front and configure and adjust without a tether.

These travel routers are great. I got one for this very reason even though I do not have a van yet. I got the GL.iNet GL-AXT1800 (Slate AX). They get updated regularly and support for using VPNs and adblocking. There is a newer model than this that supports Wi-Fi 7 but it only has two ethernet ports

If you want to use your actual home IP address while travelling, then yes, you'll need a server device at your home. You can then connect remotely from the Slate 7 using multiple methods - traditional VPN (Wireguard or OVPN), or virtual networks (Tailscale, ZeroTier, or AstroWarp) Which of these you

ugh hotel wifi is the worst for these. try this: connect to utr's wifi, then manually go to 192.168.1.1 or http://neverssl.com to force portal. if that doesnt work, factory reset via paperclip then update firmware. honestly though i gave up on utr and use GL.iNet Slate AX - its portal detection just

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 a phone or laptop with your VPN client will do the same thing as a travel router - just connect to hotel WiFi then fire up your VPN app. the main difference is you only protect that one device instead of everything. i ran into this last month and what helped me was setting up WireGuard on my UD

I think you’re better off using the integrated ControlD DoT option in the firmware instead of using the CLI. I’ve never had success getting the CLI version or AdGuard Home to override VPN DNS, and creating endpoints/profiles based on router-reported clients gets very messy, especially when some devi

Check out Tailscale — it pretty much does everything you’re describing. It builds a secure mesh VPN between your devices, so you can reach your PLC network from anywhere without messing with port forwarding or IT approvals. Grab a GL.iNet travel router (Mango, Slate AX, etc.), plug it into your cont

If your network is relatively simple ie you're not running any VLANs and you are simply wanting to expand the Beryl AX to have more ethernet ports, then a simple unmanaged switch like the Netgear GS305 you suggested will be fine. That's the cheap and easy option. Perhaps I can throw a spanner in the
