Just the piece of equipment i was looking for Jason! You da man!
Fantastic! I'll get to start the range testing tomorrow afternoon.
@@JasonHoffmanYT Awesome! Let me know how that goes. Curious if it will help the Mevo range or not. Would still like to pick your brain sometime before ball season kicks off if you get the time.
Great review on your say about the router.
I actually have the same router myself and I made use of it during my road trip with my dad (me and him live in Canada). I used that router as a repeater in the hotel room and it's ultra useful.
Outstanding!
I just found the GL.inet Routers, I got an Opal for my work and I love it! I use it with a LiveU LU300 encoder and it lets my use wifi at locations that have a portal that you need to go through to access the Wifi. Since the LU300 does not have a web browser. Although the LU300 has cell modems if I can use Wifi I like to. It works great!
I use the GL.Inet Beryl router with my Mevos and love it! I usually connect all Mevo Starts, and my Android tablet wirelessly to the Beryl. I then connect my phone's hotspot to the Beryl as the WAN source. The router easily manages all of the signals from the Mevos and the tablet and then the multicam stream is uploaded via my phone's hotspot. That way the phone is handling just one stream, not multiples. Works quite nicely for what I done so far.
Also, the Beryl will allow me to connect the Mevos and tablet together in a wifi dense environment without much trouble. I love it! I might upgrade to the AX if the "boss" allows it! ;)
Sounds like the perfect use. Thanks for sharing!
Are you able to go into more detail here? Sounds like exactly what I need to do. How do you connect the phone to the router as a hotspot? You said into the WAN port....
I’ve got the beryl as well, upgraded the firmware and it bricked it. Hopefully I can revert back to old firmware because I do love the beryl but as of now it’s useless.
Great solution!
It really is. Wi-Fi6 is going to be a great boost in a lot of applications.
I have the beryl version of this router and have been using it for a couple of years in my live streams. I have noticed a couple of times it stopped routing randomly, and I think it was heat related. I can't be certain. We are talking about 2 or 3 times out of hundreds and hundreds of hours of streaming.
Does the Beryl have the fan like the Slate does?
@@JasonHoffmanYT no fan. Probably time for an upgrade...
Will watch twice. (My goal, to do HS Baseball game with at least 3 cameras, home, Center Field, 1st Base) while live streaming play by play. I think this piece will be essential for me in the kit and I don't know what I'm talking about. Thanks for all you to encourage me to just go live in a way few have gone before, solo.
Rick, I am sure your streams will be ultimately professional! And if you can do this, you’ll be the only one in the country doing so.
@@JasonHoffmanYT but it can be done, correct? Based on what you know about the available equipment?
@@rickgodley1018 Absolutely!
Can you really get strong enough signal out in center field?
@@bobriley692 In theory, no problem. Some will depend on the size of the field, but at a high school field (Rick and I both stream high school ball) you can set up your router on top of the dugout and get line of sight to center. 300ft line of sight for WiFi6 should be no problem outdoors. I’ll be doing the range test after this next set of rainy days is past.
Thanks for this video! Does Anker make a compatible power bank?
Any power bank producing the 5v 3A needed to power this will work. Anker makes several of these.
how do I get around the captive portal from hotels and cafes for the repeater function?
I don’t have any experience with it but there was a thread on the FB Mevo Customer Group detailing it.
What do you think about the GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 for running 2 mevo start cameras and an ipad for mevo multicam. The router is only $40 right now
Wi-Fi 6 is what extends the range and speed for data transfer of your setup with the Slate router. The Opal you listed is not. On this alone I’d try to aim for the Slate.
My iPad (cellular) runs the Mevo program. Would it be a better option to run the cellular network through the iPad to the router and still run the program? Or just get a hotspot/ router set up.
Thank you
So i havent tested ipad>router for my only connection. Can’t tell if it’s better or worse. I do swear by the hotspot>router setup.
Jason: can you do a video showing how to connect the inseego via ethernet cable? I can't seem to get the router to find the mifi.
I’ll put it on the list. Thanks for the suggestions.
Hey Jason! I’m curious why you prefer the usb-c connection over going straight into the mifi LAN?
Can my hotspot that doesn’t offer a usb port be connected to this travel router?
I have a turbo hot spot 2 I would like to use and don’t believe it has this can connect from the usb-c it charges with to an Ethernet port using the appropriate adapters.
It will take the wireless signal from your mifi and use it.
I see there are several travel routers by GL.iNet, what is the benefit of the AXT you're using compared to the others?
Wi-Fi 6 and IPQ6000 1.2GHz quad-core processor.
My inseego has the Ethernet port but when I connect it to the 1800 it doesn’t pick it up. I have to use the blue usb port to tether it. Am I doing something wrong?
I use the usb-c to ethernet adapter with my Inseego and the WAN port on the Slate. I’ve actually never used the usb port for data.
@@JasonHoffmanYT Can you consider a video that explains why this setup would be better than simply buying a new inseego 5g with Wi-Fi 6, or a net gear M6, and using that as both router and cellular internet?
I’ll look into it. First reaction would be to allow the cellular device (inseego/netgear) to only handle cellular traffic. Its cpu will (I think) eventually choke or overheat if asked to handle traffic for multiple cameras AND talk to the cell tower.
Can this device connect to an existing wifi and bridge it to the ethernet ports? Sort of the opposite of wan to wifi. I want to pickup a wifi signal and allow my ethernet only device to use it.
Yes, it can.
@@JasonHoffmanYT Can it remember previously used Wifi networks, so it will *automatically* reconnect to it when it sees a previously used Wifi network again, just like how phones and computer do that? I would love to buy this unit if it can do that, because I'm looking to move a Soundcraft mixer between different wifi networks without having to reconfigure the network settings every time. Very keen to find out this bit of information. Thanks!
jason, where I can purchase the Elecjet Apollo power bank? Amazon and Newegg dont ship to Hawaii. Cant find anyone in Hawaii whos carries Elecjet at the moment
The only other option I know of is the Elecjet website. When you emailed me I jumped on their chat and asked if they ship to Hawaii but had to leave before they answered so I still dont know.
@@JasonHoffmanYT I haven't gotten in touch with them yet both email and chat. Power banks are hard to get shipped. That elecjet Apollo Ultra Ax10 looks like the real deal. Hopefully I can find one soon. Thanks for checking
How fast does the ax slate boot its radios i own the ac slate and i upgraded openwrt to use WPA3 and id say it takes about 2-4min to boot. Does this new model boot faster?
I'll test it when I get home and let you know
I’m running SmoothWAN firmware so it’s not the OEM version but it shows up as an available network option in just under 90 seconds.
Is there any advantage to having one of these with just one Mevo Start that I connect via ethernet to my Nighthawk M6 Pro hotspot? Thanks in advance!
I dont think so. The nighthawk is a remarkable mifi/router to start with. I think it would be overkill for a single camera setup.
@@JasonHoffmanYT thank you! Appreciate all your vids - unbelievably helpful.
I've heard you mention "Speedify" numerous times in different videos, but really don't go into any detail as to how or which device it's set up. Is there any way you could go into a little more detail regarding the Speedify? Thanks. Oh and check you email regarding something in August. Thanks again.
Just replied to your email. I have set up Speedify two ways: On my ipad so it bonds the cell connection there and the ethernet connection from my MiFi device. I have also installed it to the firmware on this travel router so it would combine the same connections. I think the ipad use is easier. BUT I’m working on getting this router to combine connections via its MultiWAN feature found in the web interface.
@@JasonHoffmanYT Sorry, way over my head....maybe we can discuss over our dinner when I'm down there in August. I'm so new to this, but trying my best to understand these things. Thanks for the replay, I just noticed this. Oh, and by the way, I'm going to be streaming a Celebration of Life from a cemetery on Saturday......should be interesting....take care and thanks again.
Can recommend travel router that can use physical SIM card?
I’ve begun researching them but don’t have any experience yet. Soon…
Im curious can the usb port be used as a print server?
Not an angle I’ve explored yet. If you do, let me know what you find out.
I haven't purchased anything yet, I still researching. Thank You Again and I'll let you know if I find anything out. Have A Great Day !!!
If I had 2 different carriers could it bond my connections to send one strong stream to my Yolobox pro?
Yessir! Until last month I had a combo of verizon and tmo. Worked great for streams with YBP and Multicam (my ipad is cellular connected and has Speedify on it as well).
@@JasonHoffmanYT is speedily required ?
@@John_Deep I’ve tested the feature on the YBP that is supposed to combine connections, but havent had enough time with it to trust it yet. It may end up doing the same thing Speedify does. Let me know what you find out if you try it.
@@JasonHoffmanYT will do thanks and love the videos
@@JasonHoffmanYT I've been very happy with speedify. T mobile and Verizon has been the best setup. Different towers, different radio bands.
Can you use it on a plane's WiFi?
It is supposed to be able to. I’ve not had the chance to try it yet.
