The added layer of security provides peace of mind, especially when using public Wi-Fi networks in hotels, cafes, or airports.
However, it's worth noting that this router can be finicky with some VPNs, and it is advisable to do thorough research beforehand. While it generally works well with a wide range of VPN providers, compatibility issues can arise with specific VPN services.

Taking this precaution will help prevent any potential frustration during the setup process.
Despite this minor caveat, the VPN travel router offers overall convenience and security. Its compact size, ease of use, and robust security features make it an excellent choice for travelers seeking a portable solution to establish a secure network connection.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a portable and user-friendly VPN travel router, this product is worth considering. While it can be finicky with some VPNs, thorough research beforehand can help mitigate any potential compatibility issues. Enjoy the convenience of secure connections on the go with this VPN travel router, and travel with confidence knowing that your data and online activities are protected.
Getting started - so easy! Just plug it in, find the WiFi, and give it WAN access. I chose to use the wired connection to my modem so I was literally connected to the internet in 2 minutes. If I want to use it as a gateway and repeater, it’s so easy to pickup the hotel WiFi and I don’t have to setup a new internet connection on each of my devices individually.
Next, I loaded my VPN provider (you can choose from a dozen or more brands) and gave it my login. And all my devices now appear to be getting an internet connection from my home country. I travel the globe year-round so this allows me to appear online as if I am in my home market for movies, banking, and search results. And everything I transmit is securely encrypted and firewalled.
Range & speed - across the room, I get 300mb and with Wireguard turned ON, that drops to 125mb. Very acceptable! Three stories above the router, I still get a very solid connection on the 2.4 wireless (5g drops to an unreliable 1-bar).
Navigation- the software is very smartly designed for both streamlined convenience and super-capable functionality. There is mobile app for key features, a more robust web app, and a full-featured downloadable UI for programming custom routing, rules, exclusions, etc.. It has an impressive number of features.
I connected it to the hotel wifi (no hardline available in-room) and it worked great, but the hotel wifi was super weak. I called their tech support and they saw that the hotel had cut bandwidth due to covid, but with a fully booked hotel due to local events, had not reverted to a reasonable level of service. The support tech bypassed throttling and whitelisted the router MAC, and I immediately went from 1-2Mbps in/out to 750Mb/s in/out. This bandwidth held for the entire week, holding 750 during busy times and 950 in / 1050 out when the hotel was less populated.
I was able to configure VPN easily, the service range was excellent, and it ran perfectly for the whole week with only one power-cycle when I had to power all of my gear down to reconfigure my workspace.

Muy ligero, y viene acompañado del su cargador y un cable ethernet.
Es muy sencillo de configurar para compartir el internet por medio de ethernet o wifi (conectarse a esos para a su vez compartir)
Toda la configuracion se hace por medio del navegador o su aplicacion (en mi caso android)
Una vez configurado se pueden conectar todos los dispositivos que queramos con total seguridad.
En mi caso he configurado una VPN que se puede activar desde el mismo panel o con solo activar un botón que tiene el dispositivo a un costado, todos los dispositivos que se conecten a su vez estaremos en esa VPN.
Es muy bueno para salir de viaje, te conectas a wifi del hotel, del restaurant, del aeropuerto donde sea, y solo compartes a todos tus dispositivos ya con total seguridad.
