I'm a #linux geek and a security enthusiast. Also, I'm a cheapskate. Last time our family was out and about, the hotel offered paid wifi, priced per device and I wasn't having it. Cue the TP-Link RE650 - a "range extender" capable of running the #OpenWRT router firmware. Performance and stability was crap when doing wifi-to-wifi bridging and the device didn't have enough juice to run #WireGuard #VPN, which is the way I connect safely to my home rack. A couple of weeks ago, I discovered the #Slate AX (#AXT1800) travel router from GL-iNet. Same concept, but half the size, a lot more juice, USB-C powered, SD slot and USB connector and so far rock solid and powerful enough to run WireGuard with cycles to spare. I'm a very happy customer! 🙂
