I just purchased mine for a sales job in Alberta after I return to Canada. This device is amazing! I have already tethered it and tested it thoroughly, it is completely programmable. Brilliantly engineered, China should stick to what they do best, inventing technologies, they are not good at taking over the world otherwise.
It is a very flexible product that everyone who travels should learn to use and get one as part of their bag of tricks. It creates a safe internet from public sources both wired and wireless.
I love our little TP Link Wifi in our RV. I have our Visible phone Hotspot connected and all of your phones and PC's and TV and Printer and Echo connected to the TP Link.
Sure, but suppose you pulled into a camp ground with really good public wifi. when I had XFinity, you get all the xfinity hotspots for free; this allowed me to make my own network out of it and share it with everyone... place to place, zero setup because it is the same local WiFi just with a different internet connection.
The best part about these little things is you can power them on via USB port, & if you still want to plug it in a traditional jack, you can just use an adapter. Also iTz easy to get LuCi set up
Peter, … I’m trying to figure out something. I’m gonna be starting a remote job. I currently use T-mobile home internet and it works really well for me. But the new job doesn’t allow me to use satellite or cellular internet connections for “security” reasons. So I guess I’m gonna have to get spectrum at home. I sometimes travel to Puerto Rico and in the past have taken my T-mobile home internet gateway with me to have internet connection at my family’s home where I visit and that has worked well. I wanted to try port forwarding but I recently found out through yours and Nater Tater’s channel that T-mobile does not support port forwarding. So , if I tried to take my T-mobile gateway traveling with me and I connected this AX travel router to it as my wire guard client to connect to my router at home that’s set up as a wire guard server (on spectrum) with the intention of using my T-mobile gateway solely as an internet connection, do you think it would work?
You might be over thinking this one but on the right track - What if you get Spectrum at Home (US Home) for your connection to work and simply take your TMHI router to Puerto Rico and remote desktop (teamviewer) to your home PC (running VPN, as you mention is not a bad idea) but then you could simply connect to your work securely and then control your PC from home.

Hey Peter great video. I have one question about Beryl AX router 3000, My brother has a trailer in a park they use for the summer. The camping grounds has open wifi, But everyone uses it. There is a wifi extender on a pole outside the trailer. But it still is slow when lots of people use it. They use a firestick and during the week they get decent speeds, but on the weekends it just buffers and they cant watch a thing. Will this router solve their problem. Thanks. Btw. we miss your dad i watched the green grocer for years when i was a kid.
It is an interesting question. Perhaps that repeater has a QoS to try to balance or limit access during peak times. If that is the case, this would definitely solve it because your split would be before QoS and you would not be sharing it. If there is no QoS and everyone is just using the same resource, perhaps it would still help. I am anxious to hear how it works. Also, you can also download Netflix videos during the week and watch them offline during the weekend. For this you would need a PC or Tablet but it might be well worth it. I download movies to watch on the plane. It takes seconds to download them at home and would be a buffering mess even if I paid for wifi on the plane. Thanks. My father is still with us, Joe is/was my grandfather. He loved talking about fruits and vegetables, even during a baseball game. 😀
Bridge needs to be done on the Modem Side. I know the new Beryl AX has that feature and good firmware. I am still waiting for them to send me one. Tell them to send me one and I will review it fully.
I don't understand. For gaming on an iPhone you can use either the data plan for your iPhone or any WiFi. Tethering is a cool trick if you want to enable sharing of the internet with other devices but it should not be needed for casual gaming. Are you trying to share internet service with the phone or from the phone and where are you trying to play games?
Hi Peter Awesome Video as always. Does this has a Sim Card Slot?? What would be the Best way to use this with Visible Wireless? Many thanks again Peter God Bless
You can get it to pickup a public WiFi and re-serve it as closed network protected by VPN with Wired and Wireless clients. Yes, tethering clients are usually WiFi only, now you can do it with Ethernet clients too. Using a phone should get you better priority and thus better speed and ping.
If you have a WiFi Hotspot from anyone, this could allow you to attach, make your own WiFi network and rebroacast it with a VPN.... sure, that should work.
Interesting... I had to pull out the unit and test it. Yes, it does appear to charge over USB albeit very slowly (not a rapid charge) but at least not the limiting factor.
Range is actually very good. I setup the same SSID as my normal network and everything just logged-in. It is impressive but if you want to cover a larger area, there is a better solution. .... next video, covered my whole house with T-Mobile.
CGNAT is a function of Telco providers implementation. They recently switched from passing voice packets to data packets. Then the started offering data, then the Internet. CGNAT comes from sharing IPV4 addresses... It is a growing pain. I am working on solving it in an upcoming video. STay tuned.
Nope. Once you buy it you own it. I recently took it to vacation with us. We went to NY, Boston, Vermont and Montreal. Each hotel, I either plugged it into their Ethernet (if available) or logged into their WiFi. It created a secure network (using my VPN) that mimics our home network (same SSID and password). This made it so that all our phones and tablets worked instantly but were protected by a VPN. Great stuff. I could also use it to share my phone connection with the family. I have a larger HotSpot data plan and it can share that too.

I tried to connect through Tethering from my android and i receive the msg " interface connected but not internet." I have enabled usb Tethering and mobile data share and still nothing. Help please
First enable tethering on your phone and test it out. Then hook it to this device and enable it to be shared both wired and wirelessly to multiple clients. It's pretty nice.😊
Good question: There is a comparison chart on the Amazon link amzn.to/3Ns9p0S at a quick glance, the new Beryl AX has a faster processor (slightly), DDR4, more storage (NAND), Faster WAN scores and faster WiFi 5G and VPN scores. I think there is a typo for the Wireguard number (does not make sense).
@@PeterC408 Visible is owned by Verizon and a VPN will bypass the throttle since I used it when hot spotting from my iPhone and was able to bypass the throttle.
@@PeterC408 I saw an advertisement about Google Pixel 7 that indicated that it includes a VPN so with any luck that VPN could bypass the hotspot throttle. If however it does not work PDANET should work or Pair VPN. PDANET is a little simpler but is android only so unless they make me a Team Pixel member it may be some time before I can acquire a Pixel to test its VPN on the Visible plan.
@@borgranta61103 If you are in a Wide Band area it is a different ball game. The network will jack up the speed required to stay above 5 Mbps. EG.. if your program requires 50 Mbps no problem it boosts above the 5 cap. On the standard 5g which is 4G it cuts into that cap. So it's impossible to watch a show in HD or 4K. You can run Pair VPN on the phone to a computer and bypass the throttle. Personally I think I'm going order this device through this link and test it. If I can tether or hot spot from my phone to the router then VPN and it hits all my devices not in use, that is a game changer.
Or visiting an Air B&B... You could instantly create a network that everyone already knows and none of the kids would have to login. Computers, Tablets, Phones would all see a network that they know.
@@PeterC408 yeah. I’m just gonna return this Chinese crap. Yes this device is rated for the advertised speeds, well would be if the CPU could actually process more than 90mbps for any usable length of time. After one of the resets I did it eventually gave me my isp 500mbps for about 10 minutes and throttled itself back to 90mbps. Thing is garbage.
@@PeterC408 better than apple isn’t saying much, price versus performance pretty much everything is better than apple. Yeah I wouldn’t say it’s worth reviewing. Gonna go with a tp link or a netgear. Sucks cause I really wanted to like the thing.
If there's one thing this router is it's not finicky. In fact it is so tried and true that I haven't running all the time as a secondary network for my IoT devices. It is this device that enables my echo to turn on the hot water before I get in the shower every morning. Finicky? It's a good word but not for this product
Lol. It is a review of a very cool series of products. Promotion? Maybe but watch my other videos, they don't all turn out that way.

Will tethering activate the lan ports so I can run a game console on the internet with my phone as a hot spot?
Yes. This thing doesn't care where the internet comes from, it will make a secure network out of it.
You can get it to pickup a public WiFi and re-serve it as closed network protected by VPN with Wired and Wireless clients. Yes, tethering clients are usually WiFi only, now you can do it with Ethernet clients too. Using a phone should get you better priority and thus better speed and ping.

The VPN could prevent the hotspot feature on a Verizon wireless phone plan from throttling after using high speed allotment.
Verizon would treat the tethered data as Hotspot data, so they would likely throttle you when data limit reached regardless of encryption.
