About this product
Hotel Wi-Fi that only allows one device, captive portals that log you out hourly, and public networks you would rather not trust with your phone: these are the problems the Beryl AX was built for. It connects upstream to hotel or airport Wi-Fi (or USB tethering), then rebroadcasts a private Wi-Fi 6 network of your own, with VPN client support and built-in cybersecurity features shielding every connected device. The gigabit class ports handle wired laptop use too. At $93.83 (21% off) with a strong 98.9% positive rating and 471 recent sales, it is a niche but devoted traveler's purchase. Expect the usual router setup routine and check which VPN providers you use are supported in OpenWrt-based firmware.
