TP-Link TL-WR902AC AC750Mbps Dual Band Wi-Fi Travel Router, Portable WiFi Solution Support Router/Hotspot/Range Extender/Mode/Access Point Mode, 1 USB 2.0 Port/1 Micro USB Port, 1 WPS Button, UK Plug

I went to stay in Malta with a friend for a couple of weeks. The apartment block she lived in was new, and had not been cabled, so her internet was by 3G Dongle. I bought this (they have the same plugs and voltage in Malta as UK) and crossed my fingers that it was compatible, as she couldn't tell me anything about model numbers for the dongle. On connecting it up and switching on, there was no internet. After logging into the unit and going through the menus I found that there was no built-in settings for any Maltese providers, but after a while I was able to find the settings on the internet and enter them manually. Once I did that, it worked perfectly. If I couldn't log my phone, tablet and netbook into wireless internet, I'd have been a very unhappy man!! Her other friends are well chuffed because they can now log their phones in when they visit, and the deal she's on (10Gb/month) means that she's not going to hit her data limit.Because it also has 4 wired ethernet outputs, I was able to hard-wire it into her PC, making that a more reliable connection, too. This item can also take an ethernet input (for example from a single wired-only output ADSL or cable modem) which would probably enable to get the cheapest possible internet deal when her building is cabled up.Quite simply, this product does what it says it will, at a low price and that's all you can ask. Another friend over there wanted to see about a similar setup, and from the straightforward dongle at 10 euros/month for 10Gb, it went to 25 euros if they provided this sort of wireless equipment, which, for me, shows what a simple, cost-effective upgrade this is.£32 was a small price to pay for free accommodation for a fortnight, and it will continue to do service at her flat, at least until it gets cabled up.

Bought this for my mum to use during her long term stay in hospital at the moment. The 'Patient Wifi' doesn’t quite reach her room, so I bought this to extend the wifi so she can access the internet on her phone and tablet.It’s brilliant! The beauty with this Router - and the primary reason I bought it - so it can access captive portals on the web browser in order to get online. I initially tried using my own home-use wifi repeater, but for whatever reason, it can’t access the captive portals on public wifi networks, but the TP Link Travel Router does!Once the parameters of the Travel Router are set up on the TP Link Settings Page ( http://192.168.0.1/ ), it’s a brilliant wee box of tricks and works super on public wifi points.I left a sticky note on my Router, so if it’s discovered by patients/ staff, they know what it is and who it belongs to.Mum now has superb internet access and can communicate with family online etc as much as she wants now. Happy Bunny. Recommend.-------UPDATE 27th April 2022Router still going strong 👍 Bought a second one for myself to use when travelling and tried out the different functions (AP, client, Repeater). They all do their job well once you set up the correct parameters on the settings page through your browser.TP Link makes it easy for any person to use, whether you're super tech savvy or a luddite. The settings interface guides you through setting up your router, step by step, or of you're an advanced user, you can set it up manually.All the information you need about the router is there on the screen.

I faced uncertainty when selecting this device due to various opinions shared by users about its performance. My requirement is for a device capable of connecting to public networks, bypassing web authentication, and facilitating internet sharing across multiple devices. If these functionalities align with your needs, it may be advisable to consider this compact solution.Despite its small form factor and successful execution of the specified tasks, it's worth noting that this device may exhibit a reduction in internet speed. The original internet speed is approximately 150Mbps, while the Tp-link box yields an output ranging between 46Mbps and 56Mbps. This disparity could be a significant drawback, particularly for users prioritizing higher speeds.Other powerful features of this tiny device if you know about Networking:MAC cloning: The device can clone your system's MAC address or any other network device. This serves the purpose of deceiving the ISP into believing that your laptop is the connecting device, allowing for shared internet access. This is accomplished using the Tp-link password to facilitate connectivity among your other devices. I use this in my office to bypass MAC filtering by connecting the TP-link device, which presents itself as my system, and I can connect other devices.- **Guest Network Provisioning:** This device allows establishing a dedicated access point tailored explicitly for guest usage.- **Guest Network Segregation:** You can enable this feature to disable guests on the network from communicating with one another, which is a small layer of security.- **Parental Control Enhancement:** The device offers a robust parental control feature, enabling users to control network access precisely. This functionality makes it possible to impose restrictions on devices based on their unique MAC addresses. This empowers parents to stipulate specific periods during which internet usage is permissible, thereby facilitating effective management of their children's screen time. Additionally, this feature extends to dictating the devices granted internet connectivity, affording parents a comprehensive toolset for overseeing and influencing their children's online interactions.- **Access control Management:** This feature allows you to set the time people can access various websites using MAC address as a filtering mechanism.There are a lot of other features that are so amazing if you know how to configure them.

Brilliant device..I used it to connect from my WiFi AP, via ethernet to a 2nd remote AP in my foil shielded shed, works beautifully! Lots of other modes and travel small 7cm x 7cm. Great product
