Heartily seconded! A friend recommended I get one and now I push all my other technical friends to buy one, too.

My wife and I traveled a bit this year and it was great having all our gadgets connecting to a single AP under our control. It’s easily paid for itself by avoiding ludicrous per-device daily charges.

I think most travel APs can generally do this, but the feature that makes GL.iNet products popular is: extensibility. I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand for manufacturers, but making products useful via extensibility is a sure fire way to open your target market directly up to prosumers. And those are the buyers that will find you.

I own two of their products, one of them I bought in 2019 and can still run what I need to on it.

Where do you travel that you need wifi?

I’ve been getting SIM cards for over a decade, now even eSIMs are cheap enough for casual use.

I can’t put a SIM in my ereader or Switch or iPad.

Changing countries a lot reduces this option a bit.

I’m sure I could find a good all Europe card, but I need my number for work calls.

In Europe you have free roaming so it (almost?) never makes sense to get a new sim per country.
