This Device Saved Me Money On Vacation! - TP-Link TL-WR902AC Travel Router

I got this for a security camera while staying at a hotel. Setup was easy,like you said. My only issue is the connection has no internet connection available. I don't understand if and what I am doing wrong. So frustrating (on vacation) 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Thanks for the tip. My wife and my mother will soon be going to a rehabilitation clinic where you have to pay extra for each individual WiFi device. You saved us a ton of money with your tip. Best regards from Germany

Great video. Thanks. But I'm wondering - on a cruise you have to use your login name AND your password. The setup that you showed only let you provide a password, not a user name. How did you do configure user name and password on your cruise? Thanks, in advance.

I think the GL-MT3000 is much better than this model.

Can I connect this to my mobile data and make it stronger?

Great video, well-rounded review and the setup demo was a bonus, thank you!

Can I use this on hotspot?

How do you connect to the website if you have connected your computer to the router before the router is connected to the internet?

Can we connect the usb port to a harddrive and use it as network storage?

you don't have yo use your phone cell data with this correct?

are there any security concerns with it being chinese kit?

How do you pay for monthly or yearly subscription? How is link to your router?

this might be exactly what I am looking for! do you know if a VPN can be installed and run directly though that little guy, and totally out there question. do you know if the Nighthawk M6 can do the same things as this little fella here?

How will I connect this device if I have to use a web browser first to set up. I only want to purchase 1 device for wifi on cruise ship. Will that be possible and how? Will I have to log off device w web browser first before I am able to use router as a access point

Would this work for my pop up business? For example I have Verizon on my tablet and phone and 90% of the time they work perfectly. I need a hotspot for when the network does not connect like I need it to. There is 1 event where we have tens of thousands of people in a little town trying to connect and the network gets jammed. I need a hotspot to help me run my point of sale when I am popping up. What are your thoughts? TIA!

When i do the setup through web browser can i use my cell phone or do i need to use a laptop or a desktop?

TPLink is as good as netgear etc. Whats with the gloves? Making BBQ right after this?

Is wisp mode same as hotspot mode?

In my building we pay a flat fee for internet and we’re each given a login through a portal to connect our devices (limited to 10). Each unit has some sort of router or repeater. It doesn’t work the normal way where you click the network and enter the password. You click the network and it brings up a portal you login to. How do I use this with that?

Does it support sim card?

Can I use this device with mobile usb tethering?.... I don't want to use mobile hotspot as it drains battery.

Hi! Im trying to use my TP-link, I have a WR102N. Im trying to connect my devices to my router. I have a internet card, to connect one device, I want the router to use this internet connection to share the connection. Im paying for one device but wanna use the tplink to connect one or two devices with the same internet card. Can you please help figure out how I can do it?

It says connected, but no Internet smh

Will it support SmartDNS so that I can use VPN?

I don’t understand the purpose of this device? Is it to strengthen the connection from the hotels wifi if the connection is weak? Or to bypass having to pay for it? I don’t get it 😅

TP-link is shitty asf

Would this work as a substitute Ethernet hard wire connection for laptops?

Hi, Thank you for posting such a helpful video with us. I'm wanted to ask if its possible to use the USB port to attach a usb printer and use it like a print server?

how do you get 400 download speed bc it says it gets that on the cover

I'm researching due to an issue Im having connecting a Google nest mini to a public WiFi (in a rent an office setup) I believe the nest mini won't connect because its a public network and the security of that. I'm researching this device, say I we're to buy and set up set up my own hotspot from the same wifi because I can privatise the network could I then allow the nest mini to conect. I'm not that knowledgeable. Would appreciate your time and support. Subscribed as video was great 👍

When it acts as a router do i need to alr have purchased cable or is it from the Travel router? and can i use this for gaming consoles?????

Do you need a computer to create the hotspot from WiFi or can I use my phone? We are going on a cruise and I am not bringing my computer. :(

How did you get past having to log into the Royal Caribbean app to use the WiFi? And have to enter the account username and pin to access the internet? Please reply I leave for my cruise in 6 days

Tplink is a solid company and a this is a really great product.

Can I use this for my work from home job? And is the download speed 30 Mbps or faster? And internet upload speed 10.0 Mbps or faster ?

Does this work with the hotel's captive portal if they use that for initial authentication? Thanks.

can I put in a SIM card to use hotspot?

Are these able to log in to hotel captive portals?

Hi, I’ll be staying in a hotel with wifi connection only and am planning to bring my indoor camera.
-What would be the WAN connection type that I should use? Dynamic or static?
-Can i set up the router at home? Or just do it at the hotel? Thank you.

I have a question. If I am on the road in a foreign country say Canada or Mexico would I still be able to have connections on my phone via this device?

How come you don’t talk about CAPTIVE portal? Every hotel seem to have this now. So this product wont’ work, will it?

Word of warning to Australian users:
This device does not work properly on many AU 5ghz frequencies with client mode. (eg hotspotting from a public wifi to your other devices). Works fine on all 2.5g networks but that is super slow compared to 5ghz. You're actually better off connecting to hotel network with a windows 10/11 laptop with wireless ac and connecting to other devices like your phone from the built in hotspot in windows.

Trust me I spent weeks looking into this, found other users saying same thing. FYI hardware TL-WR902AC V3 latest beta firmware.

I don’t have any WiFi so dose it just come free or do I got too pay

I’m a bit confused do I have to purchase at least one WiFi package on my cruise, in order to make this device work? There will be 3 of us in the cabin needing WiFi. Sorry I’m not very tech savvy. Thanks for any help.

Hello! Thanks for the amazing video. My situation is living in an appartment with both wired and wireless connection that is without password, but has a captive portal login.
The question is can I bypass that only once with that router so any other device can connect directly to the router and not ever having to deal with that captive portal again? For example getting chromecast, wifi vaccuum cleaners and more devices that cannot connect to such networks.

Thank you very much.

I Travel a lot for work. Most hotels make you go through a portal to set up the connection. Will this travel router let you go through the portal page to start the connection?

Could it be use as a file hub?
Connect to a 64GB USB and SMB sharing ?

Hello,
Do you know any other tp router that have a hotspot mode?

Thanks.

Could this act as a VPN on a LAN?

Lose the gloves, they just look stupid.
