Overview
Not a router with its own mobile data, the Roam shares a connection you already have: hotel Ethernet, public Wi-Fi or a tethered phone. Log in to a captive portal once in the Tether app and every device joins a private network.
One login for every device plus VPN encryption makes hotel and cruise Wi-Fi far easier and safer. Buyers wanting to tinker with custom firmware should note OpenWrt is not supported.
Who it's for
Business travelers, RV owners and families sharing hotel Wi-Fi get simple, secure connections. Firmware hobbyists and people needing cellular data should look at other routers.
Pros and cons
- One captive portal login for all devices
- VPN client and server
- Multi-gig Ethernet port
- Runs from a power bank
- No OpenWrt support
- No cellular modem listed
- Needs an outside power source
Performance notes
Real throughput depends on the venue's internet, while the router's fast Wi-Fi radios and multi-gig port prevent the local network from becoming the limit. VPN speed rests on the dual-core processor handling encryption.
