    it's so cute

      Looks like it’s from a plasticine stop-motion animation.

    Great price! I use this is my full time router running always on VPN taking internet from the 'Main household router'. Great way for me to be on a separate network to others in the house. Have also taken in travelling and that means the house can still keep their internet going / I can have a network at my accomodation (chromecast, laptop, phone etc.)

    I will add that I use WireGuard for VPN as I found OpenVPN unusable. It is all mentioned but just so you know my experience

    • Oxxy on 20/12/2021 - 16:12

      Thanks for the info on OpenVPN vs Wireguard

    • USER DC on 20/12/2021 - 17:05

      Which provider you use for WireGuard?

      I use Surf Shark, and GL inet Flint and its so slow with OpenVPN for modems brings my speeds down to like 30 Mbps

        I am using Mullvad thats all I have tried and it has been great. Was thinking of changing to Proton VPN if they implement Wireguard for routers. But so far so good, initially I had ProtonVPN and couldnt do it

      • flubba86 on 20/12/2021 - 19:19

        I've used Mullvad with WireGuard too, its pretty good.

  • tm32 on 20/12/2021 - 15:26

    Great unit. Only had one issue with it not working on a captive hotel portal, that I could clearly see was driven by a unifi network. Gave up in the end as didn't want to spend the entire short holiday troubleshooting.

      They have a solution for this using MAC cloning feature. I've tried it while in Hotel Quarantine before.

    • epitone on 20/12/2021 - 16:58

      I had to disable "DNS Rebinding Attack Protection" to enter hotel captive portals. You can reapply it afterwards.

      • cmdwedge on 22/12/2021 - 08:43

        Yup same here.

  • jetabe on 20/12/2021 - 15:33

    It's good for the price not 802.11ax

    Flint us still better value at $135

      Different product for different market.
      Full size vs Small form factor
      Power consumption
      USB C on the Beryl is handy to power it
      MicroSD for file sharing

      • vash12 on 20/12/2021 - 19:37

        Yes and you cant install the latest openwrt on the flint due to hardware limitation. Sqm Cake is not full working as well

    Any recommendations for one that will take a sim?

    • Gojkins on 20/12/2021 - 19:42

      Would also love to know!

    • inherentchoice on 21/12/2021 - 05:29

      Also interested. Or is there a good travel modem that will plug into this?

      Here's the one on their website that takes a sim card

      Quick research suggests suitable for AU, and can also do WAN failover. but no usb-c power port

      • Telios on 21/12/2021 - 18:01

        Damn WAN fail over on a tiny device like that!

        The future is nuts.

    Branded as a travel router yet only the AU pin for the power adapter is include. Kind of defeat the purpose if you intend to use it elsewhere

    • PeelThis on 20/12/2021 - 16:47
      +4

      Do you have different adapters for your laptop and other devices?
      Easier to just have one or two universal adapters to plug into the wall that you can connect your AU devices into rather than specific adapters for each device

      • BadBargain on 20/12/2021 - 16:53

        I use a different power adapter so it doesn't really matter but out of the box they only include the AU pin so if anyone plan to use the power adapter outside of the country they can't really use the adapter. Here's the pic but the box only includes 1 AU pin on the left.

        • stylsh on 20/12/2021 - 17:22
          +11

          I generally take a powerboard with me if I travel oversea. You'll only need 1 adapter for all your electronics then.

            @stylsh: ^This. My xiaomi mi power strip is well travelled.

    • bxpressiv on 20/12/2021 - 16:49

      USB-C powered, so you can connect it to a power brick for a portable network on the go or just any phone charger with USB-C output. I wouldn't take their power cable with me traveling.

    • littlesoldier on 20/12/2021 - 17:13
      +1

      Is there any travel router in the market that provider international adapters?

      I think most would provide only the AU plug
      While the connection is using either micro usb or type C meaning you can use a powerbank or usb charger to power

      In regards to this router, note that it requires a 5V 3a input so not many powerbank can supply at this rate

      • LukeS on 20/12/2021 - 18:26
        +1

        I remember when USB chargers would sometimes come with various plugs.

        I threw out all except the US plug and the AUS plug. Keep the AUS at home and use the US one overseas, as it's significantly smaller and flat so it's easier to pack in a bag.

      • BadBargain on 20/12/2021 - 19:36

        I don't know about other travel router as there isn't many in the market but I recall unless it's a fixed pin type adaptor (eg iphone charger) most other adaptors (eg GaN chargers) that have an interchangeable head often includes different pin connectors and they weren't advertised "travel".

      • bxpressiv on 21/12/2021 - 01:27

        Sorry, that's correct. I've mainly got USB-C PD battery banks and the ones I have can do it.

  • ca6leguy on 20/12/2021 - 16:45

    More like hotel quarantine router.

    • xdigger on 20/12/2021 - 19:30
      +1

      Could you EIL5 this to a complete IT tard? How would you use this in a quarantine hotel, and what are its advantage over using the hotel wifi?

      • i0k-0RU2zd10c on 21/12/2021 - 14:59

        You should never use hotel or public wifi without going through a VPN.
        The IT people that run the hotel wifi could steal all your info.

  • bazingaa on 20/12/2021 - 21:00

    if anyone wants a cheaper solution, you can use the phone as a hotspot with usb-c hub for ethernet. I have used my phone as a WiFi AC router like that.

    • xdigger on 21/12/2021 - 01:35
      +1

      Yeah why can't we use a spare phone instead of getting a portable router? Anyone?

      • bazingaa on 21/12/2021 - 10:57

        I tried 100 Mbps NBN free month with this hub as my router can only do 40 Mbps on WiFi N. I even tried GL.inet Mango router but there was a huge packet loss at 100 Mbps, may be due to 100 Mbps WAN port and slow CPU. Only my phone could easily do 100 Mbps on WiFi. I haven't tried VPN and private DNS settings on the phone though. They might not gets applied to hotspot but only when browsing through the phone.

  • RatBargain on 20/12/2021 - 23:28

    Will this rout internet via ethernet if a 4G usb modem dongle is plugged into the usb port at the back?

  • BargainKen on 21/12/2021 - 09:17

    Thicc Boi!

  • ColonialBoy on 21/12/2021 - 09:34

    I bought the WAVLINK N300 WI-FI Range Extender Repeater, Universal Router Wireless Access Point on sale for for $19.79.

    I use it as a wireless repeater to plug into an ethernet port on an old pc running linux. Cant see the need to upgrade.

    For a traveller or more complex use cases, it would help.

    • pjwellsey on 21/12/2021 - 11:08

      Nice I just got the wavlink ac1200 as it has 5ghz as well

    • BarginHunter on 26/12/2021 - 16:58

    • Telios on 21/12/2021 - 18:12

      You can get USBC cables with inline switches.

      I use one for my emulator thingy

  • plague69 on 21/12/2021 - 15:15

    Can tether from a Wifi connection so I don't have to plug in my WAN source from the GUI, not advanced mode? (Wireless bridge mode)

    That was the only feature missing from my little yellow box

    • peter05 on 21/12/2021 - 19:09
      +1

      yes you can set it to automatically scan for known networks and it'll connect and provide routing to clients on its own LAN/WIFI networks

  • pe arl on 21/12/2021 - 16:04

    Hmm, the Shield TV doesn't seem to connect to this very well.

  • Elpres on 22/12/2021 - 06:50

    If I want to use as client and produce new wifi would I need two?

  • Camelface on 23/12/2021 - 21:52

    Is this router microwave friendly?
