It would be cool to have a video on setting this up as the ultimate travel router. I know something like installing iodine might be cool because it could use a DNS trick to get around most captive portals. Or I bet someone out there has made something that helps auto login. I use WiFi Web Login on Android for that and it's amazing. I bet there is some cool other stuff you could put on there.
@@technovangelist another thing I've been looking for is a great usb modem I can use with this and my Google FI data only sim. Although I've also been thinking I could use a cheap Android phone since it could also run the app that bypasses captive portals.
hi Matt - great video. I used to travel alot years ago and used a travel router back in the day when hotels had LAN cables in the room to connect to, and that was easy then to connect my devices (wirelessly) to the travel router for privacy and safe browsing. Now I'm getting ready to travel alot again, and now most hotel rooms don't have the LAN cable, but as we all know we connect via hotel's wifi through their web portal by entering your last name and room # as you touched on in this video. However, I'm in still in the dark how these travel routers let you enter your name and room number on the hotel's splash page. Where does that happen? What UI let's you do that? I didn't quite get how you mentioned connecting your phone to the hotel and letting the router mimic that phone's MAC address. Can you explain how that's done again please?
Unfortunately I have not. I am checking into a hotel on Monday. It’s a fancy one I think in Seattle so they will probably be stingy with WiFi. I have a few travel routers with me and will give them a shot.
@ leightos1 Hello. As from my personal experience using an AR300M (more than 2 years traveling with it), the UI is the same as the AR750S and the process is as follows: Once you power up your router, enter the UI (in my case is 192.168.8.1) and, under the wifi tab, connect to your desired network. Then, once you try to open any page using your computer/phone (already connected to the AR750S network) the captive portal splash page will show up asking for your credentials. At this moment, after you enter your credentials, the hotel network will register the MAC address of the AR750S. I hope this helps. Cheers!
I hope the captive portal tutorial you're preparing is for this router. I think with a few good videos on this device, you'll get a lot more subscribers who find you via this model search on UA-cam and Google as I did. Thanks for the travel router videos. Good luck with the baby work too.
the ar750s doesn't have much of a captive portal issue. It's automatic. All you have to do is select the repeater and then select the wifi you want to connect to. Once you done that, using the same device you use for the configuration of the router and open up a webpage. It will go straight to the captive portal of the internet provider if there is one. Login through the captive portal and all you device can log into the router. Happy surfing. That's all. As easy as that.
I don't think you need to hammer the 'subscribe loop' so hard. I just subscribed because your content is informed and well produced, not because of the multiple prompts. The multiple prompts made me pause to consider however. Nice video, exactly what I was looking for thanks. I am trying to work out if there is one 3g modem dongle I can connect to it that will allow for simcards from different regions when traveling.
HEY THERE DUDE PLEASE CLARIFY ONE THING TO ?! I WOULD USE ANY OF THESE DEVICES FOR ENCRYPTION REASONS WIRED FROM WIFI TO MY COMPUTER - WELL THE QUESTION IS WHAT DETERMINES DOWNLOAD AND UPLOAD SPEED IS IT A PROPER SERVER OR DEVICE IT SELF ??? THANK YOU
It depends. If you have an internet connection faster than what this supports, it’s the device that limits it. If you have a slow connection, it’s your internet.
Could you plug an antenna in to the USB slot if you need a bit of a boost to pick up the signal? Say if the public hotspot is quite some distance from you.
Yes, it can be done. An usb high gain antenna if you wanted. It does say it supports that, however, there may be a certain brand that was tested currently.
I have a desktop that needs to be connected to WiFi with a Ethernet cable. I’m also using public WiFi. So can the router connect to public WiFi and if so can I connect my desktop with the Ethernet cable to the router?
I know this is a really old video but whats the difference between this and the GL.iNet GL-AR750. It looks like the GL.iNet GL-AR750 has 10/100 ports but a slightly faster cpu and obviously this one has external aerials
Very helpful video. Thank you. A lot of times while traveling internationally I wish I had a VPN service. If you configure this to work with a VPN in my home country, will it remember the settings when I unplug it? Normally when I leave my hotel room or apartment for the day, I lock the tech away in my bag to prevent theft.
Hi Matt, a most interesting video. In the list of features of the Slate, you mentioned it had the ability to assume the MAC address of a device to “fool” a Wi-fi source into thinking it was communicating with a single computer rather than a router. Can this feature be found on the smaller Mango as well? Many thanks
Yes it can - I've just bought a Mango and it can do this. You may find you don't need to clone the MAC address in hotel MAC-authenticated wifi scenario though, as long as you connect through the mango in router mode when you first register on the wifi. The hotel wifi will only see your mango's MAC address and so will register that. Any clients that connect to the wifi through the mango router will appear to come from the same (mango) MAC address, from the access point's perspective. I'm yet to test this out, but I can't see why it won't work.
Thanks Steve for answering the question. Getting up every three hours to feed a baby has made this harder, but thankfully I have a community now with folks like you. This is amazing. Thanks again.
@@technovangelist You're most welcome... I'm many years past feeding babies now. I got to try out my theory with the GL-iNet 'Mango' at a hotel last night and it does work. I connected two separate devices via the router. The first connected device (a laptop) had to go through the hotel's authentication process but the second device (a phone) just connected directly to the Internet as though it was already authenticated. This connection was using my (router's) MAC address to identify me so any devices connected via the router appeared as the same device to the hotel's wifi. Also, as I was powering the router from a power bank (it only draws about 15mA), I was able to place the router in a location in the hotel room where the hotel wifi signal was strongest. So the relatively low signal strength at the desk in the hotel room, where I wanted to use my laptop, wasn't a problem.
Matt Williams looks like there is no Tor support for the 750 series at all according to their website. The 300M would be best bet for people looking to do Tor ..
Hi. Yes I have but I didn’t record it. I’m making a captive portal using another device right now and hope to record a video soon about getting past it with various devices.
So I set up a captive portal and connecting worked without issue from the glinet as well as the ravpower and Kingston devices. But there are many variations on captive portals. It’s hard to try everything. Is there a particular flavor you are most interested in.
Great video Matt. Thank you. I'm looking for a device to use in my home that will be plugged in 24/7. If you don't recommend this for that purpose, what would you recommend? I'm just using a few laptops, smart media players and Amazon echo/ other smart home devices.
I think you can’t go wrong with an eero or amplifi. We bought the amplifi Hd about a year ago and cannot be happier. Very consistent high speeds throughout the house.
@@technovangelist Thanks for the video, I'm also thinking of using this semi-permanently (until I have a house of my own). I'd be really interested to actually see the configurations you set it up with - both soft and hardware, eg. I'm hoping to create a sub-network to separate my devices within my shared house. Given that it's a travel router I imagine you've used it in a number of ways.
We have extended trips in our motor home. I want to connect to the public wifi SAFELY. I would also like to stream if possible. Will I need my own VPN or does this provide one? I use Bitdefender VPN, would that work? What would be the BEST option for me?
A vpn is two parts. There is a client that you connect to and a server on the other end. Everything between the client and the vpn server is encrypted. It has a vpn client built in but you will need to connect to a server on the other end. There are a lot of options including services that are free and others that cost a little or a lot.
Would be great to test WireGuard" on this if you can get a trial for a VPN that offers it. I don't know any provider that offers it. A reviewer on Amazon UK said: "I really like the Wireguard VPN support. It works very well and the performance has persuaded me to switch VPN service to one that supports it. On low power hardware like this, Wireguard goes about 3 or 4 times faster than OpenVPN. GL.iNet have made Wireguard easy to set up and use. Once I had it configured (which didn't need any command-line setup or ssh) I made the little switch on the side if the router turn the VPN on and off as needed."
Hmmm not sure what you are asking. This is a WiFi access point. You can also connect to an existing WiFi or wired connection. 50Mbps is pretty easy to achieve on the router itself, but that speed to the internet will depend on the uplink connection you use. If connecting to your home internet connection and you only have 30Mbs then you will be lucky to hit 25Mbps. But if your home internet is 1Gbps like what I have at home then getting up to 250-300Mbps is probably likely.
If you are referring to having your own local network. Yes, it can be done. It has gigabit ports and also 5ghz connections, so it's pretty decent for your intranet purpose.
The ravpower uses a common ip address 10.10.10.x which clashes with a lot of hotel WiFi systems. If your ravpower doesn't work, change the address of the ravpower so it doesn't clash
We are already subscribed, where are the other videos about the slate? How to use it and get most of it will be a very good idea for a short 10 min video
Thanks so much for the comment. I am writing up some ideas on this and plan to get them out soon. Taking care of a 7 week old infant is definitely making it hard to push videos out.
@@technovangelist I have just bought it, I can give you some of my first impressions. Feels like a solid router, although my main router is in the same room, I used the slate as a repeater with a different SSID, and I check from time to time if my devices switch back to the main router, they didn't yet (2 days of continuous use). Streaming videos on 5g channel is working great Heating up is just ok, the top is warm and the button is a bit warmer, but nothing to be worried about if you live in a cool place, a hot place can be a problem. What's not so good, I used a 128 Samsung top of shelf SD card as shared folder but didn't like the writing speed (1 to 2 mbs) or less. Best thing to do, is transfer files to USB flash drive then insert in the slate and enjoy smb shared folder. The drive was Easily found on an Ipad pro using playerXtream. VPN didn't use it yet, adblocker this is also interesting but I would love to see a step by step plug-in installation and management from an expert user. That's it for my 2 days first impressions.
After more testing and use, I changed my mind, the device isn't stable and needs lot of bugfixing, please take a look at this thread, where we share our frustration forum.gl-inet.com/t/ar750s-keeps-disconnecting/6060
Its so strange how comments work on here. Some comments never show in the UA-cam Studio ios app and others do. Sometimes they show in the web app and sometimes they don't. I just saw this but it looks like in the time since you posted and now, GLInet was able to come up with a fix that addressed your specific requirements. One thing I remember from when I worked at Microsoft was that we could test for a million different use cases and then on release, someone starts using it in a way that no one could have predicted. We always fixed it and it looks like GLInet fixed it as well. Glad to see you are up and running.
If you are traveling and need a repeater router, then this is your device. This device does wonder if you are traveling and accessing to hotel wifi that you want to either share or have multiple device to log in. Usually, hotels only give you 1 user access, but this take that 1 access and make it a local network that you can share to other devices. It also has a vpn you can get your favorite vpn account setup to. Has gigabit ports, 2ghz and 5ghz wifi connections.
not sure what you can do on a computer if you aren’t good with any of the programs that run on a computer but maybe just relying on the hotel WiFi is best. these things are pretty close to impossible to break but if you are nervous about doing the wrong thing and playing with puzzles maybe it’s not right for you.
What do you mean by unlimited. It’s not a mobile/cellular modem. It’s a travel WiFi access point. Turn it on and configure and you have access to WiFi. You still need an internet provider or use a cafe or restaurants internet to connect beyond your own network.
@@74Low No you do not have instant wifi and no it's not unlimited or free. You still need a source internet connection. Once you have that, then it's limited to what the source internet provider is give you as service. The beauty of this device is it can connect to the internet provided other than through a ethernet and also deal with the captive portals from those providers that uses that connection settings.
the older model claims a range upwards of 100m, but as soon as you put walls in there, that number drops a lot. Without trying them side by side, its impossible to know. One of the benefits of Amazon is an amazing return policy so if it doesn't work out, return it. Oh, and let us know what you find on here.
Nope it’s router like Route 66 (all rhyming with out). Same pronunciation where I am from. I only use something called rooter when someone throws something down a toilet they shouldn’t have. But glad you liked the video.
As much as I wanted to say you are wrong and Matt was right......I actually looked it up on several dictionaries and I have to admit you are correct! A router (woodworking tool to cut edges) is pronounced like r-out-er. But a router (electronic device to transmit data packets) IS pronounced rooter. This is even so on the Cambridge Dictionary site which offers both UK and American pronunciations separately. So weird.
After working with networking folks while delivering classes in over 100 countries around the world I know the way I say it is accurate in most of the world. Yes, there is a country that likes to say rooter. But even the Oxford English Dictionary agrees that how I say it is valid.
I assume you are referring to the start of this thread. As per my other messages there are lots of pronunciations of lots of words and claiming that there is one way and I say it wrong is, well, wrong. Growing up with a British dictionary in an American home helped make that point very clear. Living in different countries and visiting over a hundred for work and play makes one very forgiving on this stuff. Things like jigabytes for gigabytes or cave hat for caveat. Or maths or aluminium. I think just having a show with an American and Jeremy Clarkston from TopGear battling it out would be an amazing education for much of the world. So don’t let folks get you upset about stuff like that. There will always be folks who think their way is the only way in the world. We know different.

not sure what you can do on a computer if you aren’t good with any of the programs that run on a computer but maybe just relying on the hotel WiFi is best. these things are pretty close to impossible to break but if you are nervous about doing the wrong thing and playing with puzzles maybe it’s not right for you.
Nice video 👍 thanks brotha
Ty, now i know it can be powered up using power bank!
So all I have to do is power it on and i will have access to wifi?
Well turn it on and configure it and yes.
@@technovangelist one more question is it unlimited?
What do you mean by unlimited. It’s not a mobile/cellular modem. It’s a travel WiFi access point. Turn it on and configure and you have access to WiFi. You still need an internet provider or use a cafe or restaurants internet to connect beyond your own network.
@@technovangelist oh thanks
@@74Low No you do not have instant wifi and no it's not unlimited or free.
You still need a source internet connection. Once you have that, then it's limited to what the source internet provider is give you as service. The beauty of this device is it can connect to the internet provided other than through a ethernet and also deal with the captive portals from those providers that uses that connection settings.
How good is the range?
Not sure. But this is a travel router so you shouldn’t expect any great range
@@technovangelist would the range be better than the tl-mr3020? It doesn't have an external antena like this one.
The TL-MR3020 range covers my bedroom and a little bit on the outside (concrete walls)
Also, since it's running openwrt, how much space is usable to install things? I know that it has 16mb flash but how much is usable for other software?
the older model claims a range upwards of 100m, but as soon as you put walls in there, that number drops a lot. Without trying them side by side, its impossible to know. One of the benefits of Amazon is an amazing return policy so if it doesn't work out, return it. Oh, and let us know what you find on here.
I have this one it's amazing router with its price except one.i can't make it as video streaming unlike it's predecessor
yay
you forgot about QoS
I didn’t forget. It’s just not a relevant feature to what I was talking about
Sorry guy, we say ROUTER NOT WROUTER , pronounced ROOTER . You don’t say WROUTE 66, you say Route 66, GREAT PRESENTATION , just wrong pronunciation .
Nope it’s router like Route 66 (all rhyming with out). Same pronunciation where I am from. I only use something called rooter when someone throws something down a toilet they shouldn’t have. But glad you liked the video.
As much as I wanted to say you are wrong and Matt was right......I actually looked it up on several dictionaries and I have to admit you are correct! A router (woodworking tool to cut edges) is pronounced like r-out-er. But a router (electronic device to transmit data packets) IS pronounced rooter. This is even so on the Cambridge Dictionary site which offers both UK and American pronunciations separately. So weird.
After working with networking folks while delivering classes in over 100 countries around the world I know the way I say it is accurate in most of the world. Yes, there is a country that likes to say rooter. But even the Oxford English Dictionary agrees that how I say it is valid.
goofball.... no need to be a prick when you yourself, don't understand people say things differently in this world. educate yourself culturally.
I assume you are referring to the start of this thread. As per my other messages there are lots of pronunciations of lots of words and claiming that there is one way and I say it wrong is, well, wrong. Growing up with a British dictionary in an American home helped make that point very clear. Living in different countries and visiting over a hundred for work and play makes one very forgiving on this stuff. Things like jigabytes for gigabytes or cave hat for caveat. Or maths or aluminium. I think just having a show with an American and Jeremy Clarkston from TopGear battling it out would be an amazing education for much of the world. So don’t let folks get you upset about stuff like that. There will always be folks who think their way is the only way in the world. We know different.
