#2I never travel without my GL-AXT1800. Saved me so many times: https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-axt1800/
I’m actually on it right now.

#3This is brilliant, actually very innovative product by Unifi. It's interesting because it seems they do what Apple does: they can add new products and features only because all the devices work together in an ecosystem.

Innovative how? Many travel routers already exist and support similar features
Re: Unifi Travel Router
#5It seems like the main feature is being able to access your home network to watch netflix, access LAN devices, etc.
How is this different compared to running a tailscale exit node in your home network?
Is the benefit of this that you have a hardware device that you can connect to instead of needing software like tailscale?

They were founded by ex Apple employees, so there's that.

The way it automatically connects to your home and presents to your devices as part of your home WiFi. So you bring that device with you and everything else works like you're back home.
I use OPNSense and OpenWRT myself and there's no way you can make travel routers this convenient with them.

That will be fun for browser geolocation based on WiFi name.

How would Tailscale run in your home network without a hardware device to connect to?

I think so: it looks like "UniFi Teleport" is also based on Wireguard.
You can also do this with a travel router like one of GL.iNet's and Tailscale subnet routers.
