Still using my WiFi 5 beryl. Can’t max out the connection at most hotels anyway. But if I ever lose it, the new beryl is shaping up to be my next.

Here is what to do: Use a Gl-inet router (gl-inet Beryl is what i use). Connect this via ethernet (wifi is also possible) to the host router. Now setup your own wifi network being careful to not use the same channel as your host. Then if you use a VPN service such as Nord, setup your gl-inet router to connect to a Nord server (this is very easy to do) Now you will have your own wifi network with all traffic routed through the VPN. And you have not messed with your hosts internet system. This is what I do.

GL.inet for family travel (all devices preset to connect to it, with VPN available for selected needs) and UniFi Travel Router for solo use. Quick and easy in both use cases. GL.inet worked fabulously all over Europe for 5 weeks; UniFi would have been perfect as well if it had just been me. Smaller, too.

The Glinet Beryl is also powered by USB-C and is also low power. Can be powered by a USB-C battery for hours.

The power consumption's 9W, which gives it better signal than the Unifi one.

I have the beryl and it can’t be used with PD usb-c cable (Beryl 7 has it now, finally!), you need a 3A usb-c input so not all power adapters work with that. This means for me that I need to carry a specific power adapter and I can’t use the one for my macbook/iphone. The form factor is also much bigger and power consumption is ~9W
