20 Best Wifi For Travel (2022 Updated)

Got this on discount. Just moved house didn’t want to get into a 24mth broadband contract. This is great pop in a 30day 4g sim works perfectly just like a regular broadband router. Connected it to 2 phones and a laptop no problems fast speed with a Smarty 4g sim card.

It’s deffo amplifies the signal better than a mobile just on data, is so much faster. I would deffo recommend this router it give you so many more options with some really good 4g sim only deal around.

The router it’s self is so simple to set up use. Download the router app to your phone put the sim in the router switch it on your online within minutes. Go to the router webpage for more customisable options for security etc.

I am in no way a tech geek just not at all it really is just very simple plug in a play device.

I can see why this router is named best all around travel router in some reviews; it’s easy to set up and configure, seems well built, and does exactly what I’d hope it would do – provide a good wifi connection with a Soundcraft ui24R digital mixer, have good range for multiple users, and utilize the mixer’s USB as the power supply for the mixer’s USB-C power cable (no more worries about fragile wallwarts on cluttered stages).

And it easily packs in the same case as the mixer, so locating components and setting up are fast and easy. In stock and fast ship from B&H too.

Great Little Unit, needed a little Help to setup it Correctly, Good Backup from TP-Link Australian Help desk. The Technician went through the Procedure to setup this Little Modem/Router. Works great as an Wireless Extender on Main Router, Downloads >50Mbps and Upload >18Mbps Speeds exactly same as Main Router.

Works great as a Travel modem/Router using 4G Mobile Network in Remote areas with Mobile Coverage. Internet Speeds excellent. Works as AP via ethernet and Wireless. Does WISP as well. Very Small, compact, Great device for the Traveller on Hotel WIFI Systems as well.

Purchased primarily to tether to my phone using either normal USB tethering or Easytether. The OpenWRT OS on this router makes it easy to support either of these connection options. The built-in support for VPN clients is super convenient.

Small, lightweight, and relatively inexpensive (compared to comparable routers). No complaints here.

This won’t take up much space if you travel with it, but I had trouble getting it to connect but I’m not exactly good with technology so maybe I was doing something wrong. It seems pretty easy to work it if you know how.

I came across this thru a youtube review iam glad I purchases it. This is my third unit, all still working flawlessly. Lots of great easy to use features and lots of potential. I keep one as repeater for the house other on my luggage Clone feature is has save lots of money.

VPN super easy. I did noticed price going up from my first not sure why?.

I got the TP-Link N300 Travel Router (without the USB port) specifically for my Xbox One S. I didn’t expect it to be this good! My university uses an indirect wi-fi login system (we connect to the open university network, which brings up an internet page asking us to login with our university ID and password to authenticate — similar in system to most hotels and airports), which the Xbox can’t handle.

So I decided to create a small internal network in my room that has its own SSID and password. I went with a mini router rather than just a range extender because this mini router has greater functionality for around the same price as most extenders.

Size: As you can see in my pictures, the length/width is a little more than that of two quarters side-by-side, and the thickness of 3/4ths a quarter. I was surprised by how small it was when I opened it.

Accessories: It comes with an ethernet cable, USB charger, wall adapter (though this is a bit clunky for modern standards), travel pouch, Wi-fi Info Card, and the standard instructions. Setup: Quick and easy, though you’ll need to have a computer (I’m not sure if it works on a smartphone/tablet) to access the setup page.

It took me about five minutes to set mine up in Access Point Mode. Basically, you plug in the router for your preferred mode as per the image/instructions. You then connect to your router from your computer using the password on the Wi-Fi Info Card and go to tplinkwifi(dot)net to do a quick setup.

Here you can choose what mode you want to use the router in, change your SSID, password, etc. Then reboot to reconfigure the router. Modes: There are five modes — two for travel and three for at home use.

I went with the Access Point (AP) Mode for my uses, but I probably could have just gone ahead with the default Wireless Router mode. The ethernet port in my room was too far away from my Xbox to use Client mode.

Regardless, it’s working great. I’ve attempted to give explanations for the different modes below, but I’m not particularly knowledgeable in this so please correct me if there are any inaccuracies. For Travel: 1.

Wireless Router (default): Basically, it turns a wired internet connection wireless. 2. Hotspot Router: I would best describe this as taking an open (and unsecured) wi-fi connection and making it password protected (personal hotspot).

The router takes the unsecured wi-fi connection and creates a secured wi-fi/wired connection, and you can have one device connected directly to the router and have the rest of your devices using your protected wi-fi at the same time.

Useful for connecting to the internet in public places like cafes. I believe it’s also great for hotel rooms where only one device can use the internet per room. Connect this and all your devices can use the internet.

For Home: 3. Range Extender: Similar in nature to the Hotspot Router Mode — it goes wi-fi to wi-fi, except this mode uses your home’s network and maintains the same password as your home’s AP. It’s to extend your home’s wi-fi to reach any wi-fi dead spots in your house (like the attic or basement, or that weird corner of the room where you like to huddle and binge watch Netflix but just happens to be the same place where wi-fi connectivity is super sketch and the video never loads).

You can use the router for both wired and wi-fi connections simultaneously. 4. Client: Sort of the opposite of the Wireless Router mode — this takes a wi-fi network and makes it wired so that devices that don’t have wi-fi capabilities can connect to the internet.

It’s great for smart TVs, game consoles, printers. 5. Access Point: Same as the Wireless Router mode, takes a wired network and makes it wi-fi. Speed: There wasn’t really any compromises made with the download speed.

My university has incredibly fast wi-fi (though my dorm isn’t as fast as our libraries), so I’m glad that wasn’t sacrificed. The upload speeds weren’t as consistent, but still not bad. You can see the speed test results in my pictures.

Overall, I’m really liking this mini router. The size is perfect for travel (it’s smaller than my Macbook Pro’s MagSafe adapter…!), and the setup was straightforward. Definitely a recommended buy.

I bought this for a specific purpose, namely to provide an ethernet connection to a piece of equipment that needed Internet access, which I was providing via tethering my smartphone. If this means anything to you, I wanted to use a DMR radio via a Shark Openspot, and go out portable.

It works very well indeed. If that is “gobbledegook”, don’t worry, accept that it worked very well for me. This is not perhaps a common configuration, but the Nano did the job well, offering “client mode” to do so.

Radio Amateurs are using this exact same router the world over for this purpose. (In fact, my American friends told me which one to get). I measured the electricity it was taking, (often less than 0.

1 amps at 5 volts) which was good for the portable, battery operated mode I planned. It is very small, again, ideal for portable operation. Setup was very problematic, until the penny dropped, I was trying to configure it from the ethernet port (connected on my home LAN) but it is necessary to log into it via WiFi,, at which point it worked first time.

I would highly recommend it for the mode I used it in, but have not tried the other modes. Can’t see why it would not work well. Build quality is good, and all the necessary cables and a mains power plug are included in a box that affords good protection to the unit.

Now my local friends are ordering Nanos as well. !.

First things to know; 1) there is no internal battery, it must be plugged into USB. 2J there is no app to install. Just log into it like any other router. 3) save the card that comes with the unit for setup/reset, it shows the default SSID (network name) & password.

Setup: 1) plug into USB to power on (flashing green light). 2) pull up list of available networks (SSID’s) on your device. Look for the TP-Link name on the card or back of Nano router, then select it.

When asked enter the password (shown on card). You can change these later. You are now logged into the router. You’ll need to do this on each device you want to access the nano router. To set up the router proceed to step 3 (only needs to be done once unless you want to change things later.

) 3) Open a browser on the device & enter tplinkwifi. net on the URL line. A login screen will appear. Enter the user name (default=admin) & password (default=admin). The router setup screen appears where you can select how you want to use the router (i.

e. Router, Hotspot, etc. ), the primary Network you want to log into (i. e. McDonalds), the Nano’s SSID name, passwords & etc. ) Close out of setup. You’re done & ready to go. Signal strength is good.

Distance is about an 18’ radius from the Nano so best to place in middle of motel room. So why use a Nano if your motel room or McDonalds already gives you WiFi? Answer: Security!!! These public WiFi’s can easily be hacked giving the hackers access to your devices.

The Nano offers its own encryption blocking hackers. Plus, once you have with installed on each of your devices you only need to log the Nano into the public network instead of each of your devices (for us that’s 4 devices, 2 phones & 2 tablets).

Have the Three mobile broadband, but wanted something more permanent. Please with how easy it is to set up and the reception signal is better than the mobile one. The only thing I need to figure is how to turn off the 5G as it is interfering with some WiFi switches whereby they won’t log on.

Amazing device! Download upload speeds are as fast as some of the fibre options currently on offer. I recommend this router highly.

Love this is great for were I live I love Mobi Wi-Fi

This device won’t connect to the 5GHz hotspot on my Samsung Galaxy S20, only the 2. 4GHz. This is disappointing as the performance is far better on 5GHz. It only supports a handful of lower channels, the phone uses a higher 5GHz channel and this can’t be changed.

I can connect to the lower channels on my home router but it significantly degrades the performance (and I don’t need to use it at home in any case). I believe this product isn’t optimised for Australian Wifi frequencies.

It works ok on 2. 4GHz for occasional use but if performance is important to you I suggest you look at alternative products.

I had a problem where I could not easily get Linux drivers for my wifi adapter. This item solved the problem by directing my wifi signal to the LAN port on my Linux PC. All the necessary cables were included with the router.

It has other modes of operation as well. Great product at a reasonable price.

Earlier this year I bought an EMF meter to identify the higher levels of radiation in my house. WiFi is a significant contributer to these levels. So I decided to move from WiFi to Ethernet using TP-Link plug-ins to the house power supply.

And they work incredibly well. But I have some older items; internet radio and my tablet computer; in different rooms but without Ethernet connection. Hence my purchase of the TP-LINK WiFi routers, one for the tablet and one for my internet radio.

I switch on the TP-LINK routers, connected to my local network, supplied by my master router via ethernet, when I’m using my tablet and radio. But I can turn off the routers when I’m not using them and the radiation levels in my house are thus minimised.

These TP-Link routers are great and I’d most certainly recommend them to anyone for whatever purpose; interestingly, the effective range is more than enough of I want to move to another room with my tablet.

For me, they were money well spent.

Fabulous performance and reliability. I purchased this brand new directly from the Netgear website, as a replacement for my old refurbished MR1100 which finally died after 3 years of heavy use. It would not power on anymore.

It was delivered overnight to my house in New York City for about a $29 fee. When I first powered it on, it immediately began downloading and installing the latest software update. This new version proved to give a stronger signal than my previous refurb, and is overall more reliable.

I actually went to the AT&T store and got help to set it up on my existing hotspot account.

After only having had the unit delivered for about an hour, it was all up and running. The unit comes fully charged so it was ready to go (without having to wait for it to become fully charged). I plugged a 2Tb hard drive into the RavPower unit and turned it on.

I have used it in several modes – (1) On a MacBook (15 inch) via the Internet. where I have been able to look at any folders or files on the hard disk. (2) On an iPhone 8Plus. First, download the free app and then the hard drive could be used wirelessly.

It is unbelievable to be able to have a 2 Tb hard disk wirelessly connected to an iPhone. (3) By first downloading the same app on an iPad I was able to have the same hard drive wirelessly connected to that iPad.

The also RavPower supports up to 5 devices. To have a hard disk that is usually connected to my main laptop and take that hard disk and use its contents at another location by just plugging it into the RavPower is really great.

This product delivers what it promises. I can access my hard drives from any device. It works great both with Android and ipad. I believe it will work fine with my laptop as well. The RAVPower FileHub apps on ipad should have been better, and my ipad struggles to detect my files (u have to use the file explorer).

This works fine on android. I transferred some video files to my ipad, edited them with LumaFusion and transferred the finished movie directly to my USB drive. I can transfer text, audio, photo and video files to my ipad without depending on iClude, iTunes, Dropbox.

don’t need to pay a monthly fee for internet storage, and I should even be able to accesss the device as a cloud (not tested yet).

The problem: How do I back up my digital photos to a USB flash drive when I’m traveling in the middle of nowhere? It suddenly dawned on me that a powered device of some sort was necessary to transfer files from an SD card to a flash drive.

It seemed that nothing short of a laptop could do that. After much searching, I decided that the FIleHub Plus could probably solve my seemingly simple problem. I couldn’t confirm it until the device arrived, but the instructions don’t actually mention this use case: insert the SD card at one end, and the USB drive at the other end, and use a wifi-connected phone app to select, copy, and paste the files.

The app is awkward, but it works. The FIleHub Plus can do many other useful things, but the simple backup feature makes it worth the money for me.

If you’re always on the road (like I am), you’ll invariably connect through public networks such as hotspots and motels free wifi. But how many other users are on that same network? Can they see sensitive information on your computer? Who knows.

I don’t take any chances and for under $50, it’s cheap insurance and state of mind. It’s not the fastest out there, but definitely the most affordable. Basically, you connect to it, then login to the web interface, find a hotspot and connect through the box.

Internet in Australian is still slow, so the measly 433Mbps @5GHz works out to roughly 43. 3MB/s which is more than enough of the 2. 5-3MB/s speeds of motels and even lower in public areas. There’s a few ways to use it, first is as above as a VPN, or multiple devices can share a connection (such as caravan parks that only have 1 connection per unit) or via ethernet (although they’re becoming less and less in motels), as a wifi extender.

It’s even got a USB for wireless file sharing and quick charging devices. Being that it’s from TP-Link also means I generally won’t have any problems with it in 12 months (like D-Link). I’ve changed over a lot of my wifi devices to TP-Link and find they’re easy to setup, use and are fairly reliable.

small sized multipurpose unit that does everything you need for being a wifi extender to an access point to a wifi client. i used this as a wifi client where i receive wifi from my home router then i feed internet to my non-wifi PC and other equipment via ethernet outlet.

very handy. good price and good size. can’t go wrong. tp-link make many good practical devices for a reasonable price.

I travel in my caravan for 6 months of the year and use a mobile broadband modem for my internet need. My problem is I use a smart DNS service and am unable to alter the settings in the mobile broadband modem.

This TP-Link mobile router has solved this issue. Using in the hotspot mode I am able to change the DNS address and also add static routes to force Chromecast to use these DNS addresses. The compact size of the device and the simple setup make this router perfect for my situation.

A great little router. I’m using it as a ired second outer to extend my wifi signal. I’m getting similar download speeds at the other end of the house from the main router, thanks to this little box of magic.
