It’s what I do currently with a glinet travel rtr and a wyze cam. Shouldn’t be anyone in my hotel room while I’m gone.
Not a one for one match for solution, but similar use case and result; and I get local recording on the SD card
well you need to touch their modem, thats how the internet connection gets into the property.
if they have a seaprate modem and router then you can unplug their router and plug in yours, I personally like the GL-iNet traver routers, but any router would do in this case.
however if they have a combo router-modem then your gonna need to plug your router into theirs anyway to get internet, and while you could setup a VPN on the GL.Inet that sends all your trafic though it, but at that point you might aswell save yourself the money on the router and just run the VPN directly on your devices.
GL.Inet 100% as it runs relativley pure OpenWRT and has a bunch of nice features that while you might not use them this time are great for other times, like you can connect it to public wifi and then your devices to it to isolate them, and as mentioned above setup a VPN service on it to send all your traffic though the VPN.
i'm pretty sure TP link dosnt have these features or if it does they are way more basic. I deff know it dosnt let you connect to public Wifi's and use that as a wan connection cuz iv had to reaseach it recently due to moving to an appartment with shared wifi.
1. I got into self hosting because I was tired of paying for services that never quite delivered how I wanted and stopped working if my internet did.
2. I travel enough that I frequently use an older Gl.Net router to provide some protection and get more of my devices connected if I have to pay for a connection. I have also been wanting a KVM for my home server so I can better administer it from afar. In particular one that might let me restart or power it up with button presses or a jumper interface.
3.I learn a lot from Reddit, but probably most from encountering a problem and researching it until I find a solution that suits my needs and capabilities. That research takes me everywhere… but mostly Reddit these days.
4. I’d love a lower-power feature rich NAS. I consult for a lot of friends and families, and these have become a popular request. Ugreen might have the best offering for now, but I do feel like there’s still room for improvement.
Edit: Products I’d choose if I won would be the POE KVM and travel router.
How good is the WiFi? Compares to the GL.inet I use as a travel router this is *tiny* but in larger airbnbs even the GL.inet with its extendable antennas is sometimes struggling to provide full WiFi coverage.
