  Is this overkill to use as a Wireguard travel router for connecting 4-5 devices via 4G/5G modem?

  • 

    abs898 on 21/03/2023 - 21:05

    Nope, better to be protected than sorry!
    May it be 1 or 100, always keep it wrapped up.

        If you're using a shared connection without some sort of secure tunnel, yep.

    One of cheaper models probably would suffice for a handful of devices.

    • 

      abs898 on 21/03/2023 - 22:31

      Depends on how much speed they need though.

    Beryl AX for $135

      abs898 on 21/03/2023 - 22:32

      I would get this for another 20 bucks and be future proof.

      • 

        soymeat on 22/03/2023 - 02:22

        Future proof in what way? Functionally there isn't a huge number of differences between this and the Beryl AX.

  Can it connect to a Wifi network?

    Yes.

  Upvoted,
  But I love that this and the Aliexpress i225 opnsense boxes both go on sale right after my router dies and I decide to splurge on a Ubiquity Dream router.

  I use this for just me. It is so good coming from mango .

  I use it with a 3a rated USB charger and it works fine . Not heavy use. But you can use it without carrying around the official psu which makes it more portable
  Signal is great and lightning fast

    Have you run it on power bank?

    • 

      MasterScythe on 22/03/2023 - 11:35

      Most power banks won't do over 2.4A at 5V.
      It depends which official measurement is correct….

      If 4A?
      Getting it stable on 3A; since it's "just me"(him) he's probably only using 1 radio.

      Power Input Type-C, 5V/4A
      Power Consumption <8.75W

      Though, it depends which is accurate.
      8.75W is less than 2A @ 5v.
      So if THAT'S correct, then yeah, a powerbank would run it.

      • 

        abs898 on 22/03/2023 - 12:22

        I might try running it on Baseus 100W power bank then which supports upto 20v/5A

        • 

          MasterScythe on 22/03/2023 - 12:23

          @abs898: It's the 5V rating you care about; It won't negotiate a 20v connection.

          • 

            abs898 on 22/03/2023 - 12:24

            @MasterScythe: It doesn 5v/4.5A and 5v/3A

  How it’ll connect to a hotel or airport wifi because they mostly require a webpage to open and fill the credentials

  • 

    soymeat on 22/03/2023 - 14:09

    Usually after you login to the captive portal with one device connected to the travel router, it will work for all devices connected to the travel router.

    If not, you follow these steps:

  Am I missing something? For the price this seems good for a traditional router, let alone a portable one?

  • 

    abs898 on 23/03/2023 - 19:13

    depends on what your traditional router needs are.
