I have two questions. 1) when you connect any of these devices to a hotel network, supposing they are capping the free WiFi at 0.5gb, will these devices bypass that and give you faster? and number 2) The only reason I am thinking about getting one of these is because I cannot cast my phone on to a TV screen using just my mobile data. Can any of these do that for me? I'm not asking how, just I want to know if it is possible and does the manual explain how. Thank you for any advice you can offer!

Helpful video, Thanks. I did not realise the Beryl was physically smaller than the Slate. I have used the slate, the mango and also another model - the Opel. I like the size of the Mango - but agree - Micro USB and lack of 5Ghz are a problem. Hope for a Mango Vs3 soon.

I am looking for a system to use a router with that will allow me to be fully independent from having to use hotel internet when I travel. AND… I know little about these things but I do travel and I want security and ease in being autonomous (is that even possible?). I ended up getting a GL-Inet SFT1200 Opal model over the Beryl AX because the security is supposed to be stronger. I am having a hard time getting the router to power on and can return it because I just received it a few days ago. Can you compare both the Opal and Beryl models for us?

I'm interested in a router to bridge an existing wifi network with a captive login portal (think hotel/airplane/cruise-ship) and then share that 1 paid connection with multiple devices. My concerns are around heat a power draw, which most videos do not address. I'll be placing the router into a backpack and powering it off a USB battery for 12-24 hours at a time. 100Mbps would be more than enough speed for me. Are any of the routers showcased good for that use case? My guess is the Mango draws less power (hopefully generating less heat) than the others and I don't mind the USB micro. Thanks!
@david_does

This is a really good question. So heat would be a consideration but based on my testing I *think* it should be fine. I may try running one of these in a backpack for a few hours to see. If that works you would just need to calculate the power draw using a battery drain calculator online where you enter the mAh of your battery pack.

the opal seems like a good compromise between the mango and the beryl. it's like 40 bucks, usb c charging, 1 gb wan/ 2 gb lan ports, only usb 2.0 A port but good enough in a pinch. AC1200 speeds. I think for most general use cases, this one checks a lot of boxes, and if you feel like you need more, you probably already know what requirements you have going into it.

Guessing it depends on how they track you. If it's purely through internet connection then you can use the VPN settings on the router to connect to a VPN server at your home. Then any connection made through the router will go via your home network. But if they also use things like your laptop's GPS then this won't help you much.

Beryl AX doesn't support EAP protocol. So you will not be able to connect it in many hotels that uses this protocol. I have one Beryl AX and had a bad experience in my first use. The hotel I tried to use, was EAP protocol and I was unsuccessful to connect. The SSID doesn't even appear in Beryl AX menu when it's a EAP WIFI/Network.

I’m currently doing seasonal work and plan on traveling at least for a few years. I have my PC with me, but unfortunately dorm living provides terrible Wi-Fi speeds and I’m looking for something to help with that. I’ll be making a purchase soon based on your recommendation, but I’m caught up on how to use these? Does the product have its own internet connection or would I need to take the SIM from my phone and use it? Thank you to anyone who can answer, it’s the only thing I’m curious about. So ready to play some Halo, D2, and COD again if anyone has input for running those types of games.

Hey! This may not be the best option for you as it requires you to feed it with an internet connection. For example it takes your dorm's wifi and extends you your own personal network. It still would depend on the dorm's wifi. However, if you have good LTE (5G) service in the area check out the T-Mobile Home internet stuff. It is about $60/month and may be a good place to start. Latency may be a bit high for gaming but possibly better than your dorm.
