  • just got this yesterday without the coupon…….

    • So if you don't travel, what's the use case then?

      • +2

        I have two set up as a dedicated wireguard bridge between two sites.

        They run scripts to backup the NAS each day

      • +6

        I use one with my Chromecast connected to it, with NordVPN configured to connect to whatever region I need to for streaming. It connects over Wifi to my standard Wifi network where all my other devices are connected for standard Internet access.

        I also use it for travel by tether off the hotel wifi or ethernet, but VPN back to AU for iView, or wherever for streaming, data privacy, etc…

        It's a great little unit.

        • Price is showing as 88.83 with zipsmile, I'll bite

          It's a great gadget, will try if I find any use

          • @sqheaven: Thanks for this. Mine showed $93. How’d you get the extra $5?

        • -1

          You can run NordVPN directly on Chromecast

      • Wifi / LAN access point for an area away from wifi coverage (remote room with a LAN port) that can also provide wired connection.

        Connect back to main internet router/network via this.

      • I use it 24/7 at home - best interface and feature set at this price

      • My LG tv wifi was really playing up. No lan point near by so I just used it as a wifi repeater and Lan to the tv. But this is a must have for travel it's a life saver.

        • +1

          LG replaced my Wifi module for free, now I use Chromecast if it plays up, good idea to have this as a good backup router. These days I am using a lot of hotspot to join meetings from my car lol

      • +1

        When I am not travelling, I use this router in AP mode as a dedicated wifi for PCVR. Works a treat.

  • -1

    I think it’s cheaper here.

    https://a.co/d/iVpJlLP

    • +5

      AUD 178.77 doesn't seem cheaper.
      Your link is in USD.

      • +4

        My apology to everyone. I thought it’s in A$. Thanks for correcting me.

        • +1

          apology ACCEPTED

    • +5

      You can piggy back to other wifi coverage as a rebroadcaster, connect your multiple devices to this one device while setting up only this device to connect to a hotel wifi for example.

      Work tremendously well during our last Japan trip

      • This is exactly the use case I was looking for, specifically for Japan! Just confirming, this can connect to the wifi in a hotel (or wired ethernet) and you can essentially have your own wifi network set up to connect all devices to yeah? Did this work everywhere for you in Japan? How did you power the unit, did you need a different power supply or…?

        • +5

          Thats correct yes, it worked at all hotels I've stayed in the last trip in at least 6 different hotels all around Japan. I tried wired too and it works.

          You set up through the phone app, to change the wifi settings every time you go to a new hotel. All other devices then just need to connect to this router SSID so only need to set up one equipment every time you move to a new place.

          Just to be clear I used the GL Inet Opal, so not exactly this particular model. I'm pretty sure this model is a more expensive / featured model so I would assume that this would be as good if not better.

          The unit comes with a small power brick with cable to USBc connection to plug to the back of the unit, so I use that. I'm sure I could also use a generic USB charger but I didn't want to take a chance.

          Set up your network and all your devices connecting to this network while you are still at home, and test by rebroadcasting your own wifi or wired network at home so you get used to changing settings etc.

          • +1

            @cmoddoo: Awesome mate, thanks for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it.

            Ordered one :-)

      • Works well if the hotel wifi speed are shit you plug a phone into the USB port and tether your internet from there. Motorola cheapie that supports Esim is generally good for this and hotspotting on the go.

    • +8

      Not the use case for this device. "Horses for courses" springs to mind. :)

    • +3

      You seem to be confusing wifi hotspot with travel router, they're two different things

  • Thanks OP, bought. Should do well on our cruise and when travelling in general.

    • +1

      Just an FYI - most cruise companies ban any sort of networking equipment including these.

      You can try smuggle it on, but most likely you'll be picking it up from the naughty table at the end of the cruise. People report online really mixed results, and sometimes the network config can be pretty aggressive to block these types of devices since some cruise lines sell per device packages.

      • How would they know?

        • Copying my other comment from the other one: They also check/x-ray your bags when you get onto the ship. That's how they also stop people bringing on irons/hair straightners etc.

      • depends on the cruise line. we've never had any issues. because I need the VPN I will always pack 2 or 3 routers in different suitcases because as a fallback.

        It takes a fair bit of skill to be able to pick these up considering the carry on xrays aren't CT style so the density of the objects are often difficult to make out. (why airports make you pull your laptop out on older XR) the difference is cruise ships generally dont. They are mainly looking for weapons and alcohol. The alcohol is tbh pretty lax as well on port days as we regularly bring back wines etc and no one cares on the ones i've been on at least (as recent as a few months ago).

        In terms of network config the key here is to clone a MAC address of a reputable manufacturer or generate a random one. Sometimes they try to get crafty with vendor IDs. Wireguard was blocked at some point for a while but I generally just do a 443 openVPN as a workaround which is not possible to block at least with their security.

        Just for the doubters: I literally bring a 24" monitor, a router and a full WFH setup with me when I cruise. not a single question from anyone. Just left the router there on the desk. Even got engineering to bring me a screwdriver so i could attach the monitor stand to the monitor because it was a cheap monitor I just throw them out / leave them for the crew after every cruise and buy them in the departure port before the cruise.

        https://i.ibb.co/6RG69w0Y/Screenshot-2025-03-19-at-11-17-07-…

        TLDR; you probably wont have any issues with this.

        • Genuine question: if you’re on a pleasure cruise why take a full WFH setup? If you need to work when you’re supposed to be relaxing and spending time with family/friends then it seems a waste of money going on a cruise when you could just stay home.

            • @meowsers: Okay, fair enough. I was actually curious of your motivations - in my own workplace they are actively discouraging staff from taking their laptops and work phones away with them when travelling, trying to reinforce the benefits of disconnecting for a period of time. I'm finding it very interesting to see which ones are actively following the advice and who is not.

    • I did this and it worked well

  • +2

    I'm very impressed with this thing.
    Even with my hotel room positioned right next to the ubiquiti AC dish…. I NEED THIS.
    Without having this router in the room with me, it's just TERRIBLE.
    Imho mandatory for anyone who wants to keep a network setup as they travel or become homeless due to no fault of ur own, as it runs off 5v USB.

    • I've got the SlateAX and I've been super impressed with how well it works and how configurable it is.

      Really great travel routers for hotels etc.

  • +1

    Have to Mangos for travel. Is this a major step up? Wider coverage and better speeds I expect?

    It’s a little bigger than it’s yellow sibling though.

    • Wondering the same. I also have a mango.

      • +1

        From a couple of comparative reviews the Beryl in this post is a definite step-up in speed and processing for better vpn and overall performance and features.

        That said, for travel it does look a lot bigger than the Mango.

        For simple use as a repeater on trips the Mango is a good proposition - particularly if you’re getting more than one hotel room and need to take two of the little yellow buggers with you. Better VPN performance would be better but you can’t have everything at that size.

        • Thanks, might stick with it for this trip at least

  • Just bought it for our cruise, thanks

    • +2

      Copying from another person who mentioned cruising:

      Just an FYI - most cruise companies ban any sort of networking equipment including these.

      You can try smuggle it on, but most likely you'll be picking it up from the naughty table at the end of the cruise. People report online really mixed results, and sometimes the network config can be pretty aggressive to block these types of devices since some cruise lines sell per device packages.

      • how do they detect which room or patron is the offender on wifi?

        • I'm pretty sure they can't. They will just see one device at one end

          • +1

            @cmoddoo: They check/scan bags before you even get onto the ship.

            • @BillyG687: Very unlikely they will pick this up. Even less likely that onboard IT will be doing "heat maps" to find it.

              Onboard XR are 1D basically and difficult to distinguish density of objects like this especially if you pack with similar density items.

              • @meowsers: It's picked up before you board the ship. Never said anything about heat maps - that was someone else.

        • You can pinpoint via "heat maps"

        • +1

          They also check/x-ray your bags when you get onto the ship. That's how they also stop people bringing on irons/hair straightners etc.

          • @BillyG687: All fold up quite compact rectangular shape. For an untrained eye could pass as a battery bank. Would be good to get feedback from anyone who has successfully used this on a cruise

        • Can’t you just put it on your body? Or do they pat you down as well?

          • @jlogic: You go through a security scanner like at the airport.

  • -2

    It would be even better if it were powered via USB-C. The unit is already quite large and factoring in the size of the power adaptor means even more bag space is taken up.

    • +3

      Pretty sure its powered via USB C?

      • -1

        It comes with what looks like a proprietary power adaptor.

        • Just needs 5V/3A.

      • 5V 3A iirc…

    • How big do you think this thing is? It's USB-C powered and pretty tiny. Just look at the ethernet ports and USB on the back for reference.

      • -2

        The 34mm thickness is what makes it seem bulky imo. For context, I travel with one bag.

        Where does it say it’s powered by USB? It comes with its own power adaptor.

        • +1

          It has a wall adapter included but you can just plug it into a USB-C port. I power mine off a USB-C cable plugged into one of the ports of my UGreen chargers.

        • +1

          Look at the picture of the back…

          The adaptor has a cable with usb c on its end, you don't have to use it though.

    • Is it USB-C powered

      • Yes

  • i dont even travel and still use this thing.

    • +1

      Start traveling with this thing then, for the sake of it.

  • +2

    I use this to:
    - server media via DLNA
    - adguardhome
    - VPN server to my home
    - hotspot off my phone or accom wifi
    - have wifi ssid same as home
    - copy photos from an SD card to an NVME (card reader + nvme usb PD hub)

    Basically, it's my travel photo backup station. I could also set it up to automatically rsync back home to the nas, but, it stuffs up the date modified so it's there only as a plan B

    • Yes it can do a lot more than just travel router

    • With one unit or two?

      I just bought the combo Flint 2 and beryl AX

      • i have this for travel
        at home i have the brume2

  • What am I missing without EAP? Need this work on cruise, Hotels and Travel (Teather) for the whole family without revealing all IPs/clients.

    • The standard firmware has some driver/hardware limitations. You can load an alternative firmware that is offered, with open source drivers.

  • I bought it last month from their website after waiting for so long and paid $125 …. Is a great little unit. Was about to pull the trigger on the preorder the Slate 7 but I needed before April… anyways, still a great little unit and the fact you can power it from a power bank is a game changer!
    I use it on camping trips, travel, in the car while travelling so kids can watch Disney+ etc. it’s so handy!

    • Oooohh, Slate 7… I’m keen on a more powerful travel router.

      Will keep using the Mangoes I have for international transit, but when I have the room for a larger and heavier device this new model looks excellent. May be hard to get one for a while. Will know more next month I guess. So, the question remains… grab this Beryl for ~$100 or wait and get the new model at closer to $200…

  • Does anyone know if this would accept a SIM card for it's data?

    • +2

      Nope, that's what I also thought but you can tether phone data using cable

  • I got Beryl the other month when I saw the discount. Was in Perth in December and the hotel had turned down the room Wi-Fi to minimum power so 2m from the desk in my room, hardly one bar. This should help with that.

    Also looking at VPN for travel so we can still access our streaming account. Loving the idea of plugging the hotel TV Ethernet cable into the Beryl for better speed.

  • Can you get/configure this to get through secure gateways? you know those pesky hotel "enter your room number and name" thing

    • Worked for me when I was travelling. It pops the captive screen and you agree to it and boom it works.

  • Received item today. I can confirmed the power input is USB type C (5V 3A).

  • Can anyone provide a screenshot showing the lower price please?

  • FYI, I received mine, but it did not come with the US, EU, UK power adaptors which were pictured in the Amazon listing under "What's in the box". Probably a minor issue for most, however for me it is something I specifically wanted, I'm not returning the item but i did raise a query with customer support, hopefully they can resolve.
