Most plans have a quota. Which I agree is unethical and illegal.
But times have changed. Most can use hotspot today at no extra cost.
I have an insanely low monthly rate with Tmobile that only includes a small amount of hotspot data. Other plans on various phones with all carriers have hotspot limits. This can also be used on the road in a hotel using their wifi.
This router also adds an extra layer of complexity to your internet connection. It's one more wireless hop. Or if it is extending an Ethernet connection, it adds wireless to the the equation. Either way, adding more complexity greatly adds the chance that you'll lose speed or consistency. Wi-Fi 6 may be overkill in many scenarios. But it could mean a much better experience in many others.
You are right that Wi-Fi 6 may be overkill. If someone already has an older travel router and gets good performance, it's probably not worth upgrading.
Apparently some cruise ships are getting more sophisticated/cracking down on travel routers.
It should show on the item page. Also in the checkout, under "Additional Reward details", when I open it it, it says "Prime Card Bonus Offer: Get 5% Back, and additional 10% Back on the amount charged to this card"
When traveling to some people home in rural area which their router still use WEP, GL.iNET were unable to connect to it since GL.iNET router lack WEP support. Yes, we know those people should upgrade their router for better security but we have no control of what they do with their router especially when we are only staying in their places for a short period of time.
Wonder if this TP-Link router able to do connect to those network that only use WEP.
Always had Verizon.
Always used an unlocked Samsung Galaxy phone (S## family).
I was always able to enable Mobile Hotspot without a problem.
Then I started getting declined with a message that I didn't have the Hotspot feature, which was correct.
Read up somewhere that Samsung finally caved in and started to check if Mobile Hotspot was enabled for the account, even on their unlocked phones (aka. Non Verizon branded phone)
Luckily I have a work around.
So I am allowed to work remotely, and I have no issues when using my work laptop in most European countries. However, when I was in Albania this summer, I couldn't use Microsoft DevOps because I guess the IP address I was using at my Airbnb in Albania is banned.
I was able to use Nord VPN to use an American IP address. However, I was told I couldn't have Nord VPN on my computer.
Would it be possible to use this device to mask which country I am in?
Thank you in advance for your help with this.

That is one of my use cases for a travel router. I travel a lot and want to be able to VPN back into my home network for (1) security (2) to mask my actual location (3) to access devices in my home lab. My employer does not allow VPN installed on my work computer, so I configure it on my travel router and voila! That said, I've been using my pricey Firewalla Purple for that and, while I love the features, it is extremely unreliable and I am considering a simpler device like this.

Yes... These devices can be set up as a VPN client to connect to your home and provide a secure tunnel between your hotel room and your house/ apartment, etc.. once that tunnel is established, all of your devices will communicate through this back to your home internet connection And go out to the internet from there so it'll look like you're sitting in your living room.
Manual Start
Activates Mobile Hotspot
Deactivate Mobile Hotspot when it is tapped again
Apparently, the check doesn't happen when I go this route.
Found it online last year and hasn't stopped working for me so far.
Paid roughly $25 which is a steal.
