I 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.
What is the benefit of this over, for example, an iPhone hotspot?

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.
It probably needs a panic/border mode to disable all home access in the event of an emergency. You don't want to be crossing borders and give customs officials full access to your home network.

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.

How’s that access control handled? Very easy to spoof the MAC of the TV or setup some SNI spoofing proxy server, NGFWs with TLS Active Probing are probably harder to deal with but do hotels really have that?
> Very easy to spoof the MAC of the TV or setup some SNI spoofing proxy server At that point you're in the 0.1% that the hotel does not really need to worry about. The other >99% will still need to pay for wifi.
I don't understand this post. Is it an ad? I have wireguard running on my home router. Why do I need a piece of hardware when my laptop already can connect to it from anywhere?
With Teltonica/GL.Inet you also can use small external antennas. Getting behind windows is often enough.

Same! And the best thing is that you can install Tailscale, so you can connect to your tailnet, and exit all traffic through one of your nodes (e.g., your home/office network). It's incredibly useful, with the added bonus that you don't need to install tailscale client in any of your travel devices (phone, tablet, work computer, etc).
These are neat in that you can jump on and extend existing wifi infra, but it'd be nice if they also included 5G. I want a product that does both. It's cool to have your own network in a hotel. But it'd be nice to be able to do that on the road, away from public wifi, internationally, whenever - which hotspots do. But at the same time, it'd be nice to be able to do the WiFi thing too to cut back on data usage. I freq…
I like it enough that I might buy a second, more compact unit for when space is more a premium, but I’ve been really happy with this one.
Have Ubiquiti/Unifi firmware/devices ever been subject to independent, third-party security testing? Surely a company charging such a premium for high-end devices has invested in such processes and is proud to showcase them ...

Can anybody explain what Tailscale is, does, or why everybody seems to have it?
Looking at their website, it’s just a huge wall of business jargon. Really! Read it. It’s nothing but a list of enterprise terminology. There’s a “how it works “ page full of more (different) jargon, acronyms and buzzwords, but no simple explanation of why everybody on this thread seems to be paying money for this thing?
Any help? Should I just pay them my $6/month and hope I figure it out at some point?

I’m seeing a lot of this same comment here, so I went to check out this tailscale thing, which clearly I must need. Can anybody explain what Tailscale is, does, or why everybody seems to have it?
