I have a requirement that i need to connect multiple devices to a network, where there is only one device can connect with a otp login. I purchased this . Now i cannect this device to the network with the otp login and made Hotspot from this device and i can connect multiple devices to the network. Really wort this item

I bought this as a backup internet solution for my AT&T fiber (using a Samsung phone with USB tethering) and after initial setup/testing it worked well; the day after setting up and testing it my fiber actually went down and I was able to connect easily in just minutes. I have an AT&T supplied router/modem and a TP-Link Deco mesh system with ~35 various devices connected - TV's, cell phones, various smart devices, and all were online with no issues. A couple things that may help others: * This router would NOT run from the USB-C port on my CyberPower UPS (it would blink blue/red then shut off; apparently that particular USB C charging port doesn't supply sufficient power to power the router). Once plugged into a normal USB-C power adapter 'brick' and wall outlet, it worked fine. It took me several tries and much frustration to realize that this was the reason my phone couldn't 'recognize' the router - it wasn't actually powered up. Downloading TP-Link's "Tether" app was helpful (but only after plugging the router in to an actual outlet). * Setup was somewhat finicky at first because my phone kept trying to reconnect to my main home Wi-Fi instead of the TP-Link setup network. I used the help of AI to figure that issue out; once connected and configured, though, it is simple to connect to it in an actual outage. * USB tethering with my Samsung phone is easy and works properly after setup. During an outage I simply: 1. Plug the TP Link into an outlet for power; Connect my phone to the TP router via USB-A/C 2. Turn on USB tethering on my phone 3. Disconnect my AT&T router from my Deco mesh; connect the TP-Link router's LAN port to my Deco mesh WAN port (where AT&T router was connected). Internet comes back online for the whole house in about a minute - no passwords etc needed. Because I have the mesh system, I don't have to make all the devices in the house 'recognize' another new network like you would just using a hotspot; the TP-Link router sends the internet to the Deco which 'supplies' the internet to all other devices as usual. Speeds obviously depend on cellular signal strength and tower congestion, so don’t expect fiber speeds from a phone hotspot backup, but for streaming, web browsing, smart devices, etc., it works very well. I haven't used it for traveling, but it has a very small footprint, comes with a USB and Ethernet cable, and would easily fit in any purse or travel bag. I imagine I've made this sound much more complicated than it is to set up - it's actually quite easy as long as you power the router properly and don't have a glitch with your phone trying to reconnect to your home WiFi. Other than that, it was easy. Connections are straightforward - one cable to power, one to Ethernet, one to phone - for my particular setup. Ethernet, USB-A/C cables are provided, but they're short. I purchased longer ones for convenience. For the price, this is an excellent low-cost backup internet solution without monthly fees.

I love this travel router. It's compact, lightweight, and easy to carry anywhere. The setup was simple, the Wi-Fi connection is fast and reliable, and the USB-C power option is very convenient. It works great for travel and gives me a secure connection wherever I go. Overall, it's an excellent product and I highly recommend it. 5 stars!

Excelente opção para viagem. vários tipos de conexão podendo escolher de acordo com o que tem disponivel.

I'm currently on a vacation trip and have been using this device nightly when I'm in my hotel rooms. I've been to five hotels in six days and I've had this router set up each night. While I was still at home I practiced both using the router in both tethering and router modes, but tethering is the preferred method I use in my hotels. This is also what I'd suggest users utilize if they are in public spaces such as a cafe/coffee shop, in school, or a public library. Tethering runs the local Wi-Fi signal through the router, but the user connects devices like computers and tablets to the router's SSID, not the available public Wi-Fi signal. An app on my iPhone (there is also an android app) guided me through the setup steps. Each new local Wi-Fi network is scanned by the router, the local password is entered, and the router then allows me to connect to that signal through the router SSID. The router uses both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and given the proximity of all of my devices to the routers, I've been able to use either band with similar results. The router rarely drops the signal and thus far I've not had any issues. I'm logged into the 5 GHz band as I type this review. TP Link has a winner with this product. It is simple to setup, easy to use, reliable, and affordable. I believe I paid $39.99 USD for my device, though it may go on sale during various Amazon sales events throughout the year. I purchased my router just a couple of weeks prior to my trip, so I didn't have the luxury of watching price fluctuations. The router is lightweight. I don't have the exact weight, but it's just a few ounces. It easily fits into my computer bag, and takes of very little room. It has a USB A slot on the back which can be used to access USB flash drives, but I mostly use that port as a passthrough charging station for my tablet. I had used a competitor's travel router for a few years prior to purchasing this device, and I found that other router more difficult to use and less user-friendly. Maybe I'm biased towards TP Link as I've used other networking devices made by them and am partial to the TP Link brand. In days when hackers can be anywhere, having a travel router is a simple step to keeping private data private; TP Link offers a safe, reliable, and affordable option for basic computer users to protect themselves while using public or unsecured networks.

Definitely great value! I have tried the Ethernet connection...super fast, as well as 2.4 and 5 frequencies... also super fast. I did purchase a cat 8 cable for the Ethernet connection because I wanted a longer cable than the older, slower, shorter cable provided. Max speed possible and this little unit does the job. It's a small and portable unit and definitely doesn't get hot..warm but not hot. I ran it as a hot spot...great results. Make sure that you change the factory default SSID and password for better security. Be careful of the sticker on the bottom with the factory reset password. It rubs off very easily and should be under plastic..it's not and I lost the factory codes but easily recoverable via a Ethernet cable reset. Overall this is the value unit that you need for a portable router. Update: Still positive about this router, I used it on a trip with the hotel Wi-Fi... perfect results and without and problems. Consider it for your next trip. I use it daily at home as a hotspot.. just plug it in and it's already configured.
