Review: Yes, it works on Royal Caribbean ships - My only reason for purchasing this router is for use on cruise ships. I cruise a lot with my wife and mostly cruise with Royal Caribbean. Just got off a cruise on Allure of the Seas and the device worked great. Was able to connect to ships Wi-Fi and connect both our phones to the internet, saves on purchasing 2 or more internet accounts. Using my iPhone connected to the router first and selecting the ships WiFi, the Captive portal launched automatically and was able to enter my Royal Caribbean username and PIN number successfully. Then I connect phones/etc to the routers name. I power it using a small 5000 mah battery backup and conceal both devices in my shorts pocket and stay connected throughout the ship all day long on a single charge. Great device for cruise ships, just buy! Update 10/01/24: Works on Carnival ships also! Just got off Carnival Dream cruise ship. Worked like a charm, same as on Royal. Was able to connect to ships Wi-Fi and then launched login screen by going to carnivalwifi.com. On login screen was able to enter folio number and birthdate.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I buy the internet package on a cruise can I use this has a hotspot for other to have internet?**
A: You could use AR300M16 connect to cruise's Wi-Fi and then share the internet to other people from AR300M16.

**Q: can i connect this to my wifi at home, then take the mini portable wifi device with me on trips and use my wifi as if i was using internet at home?**
A: You could but that would add some inefficiencies to your use at home.  I suggest using a different "SSID" with it and configuring your devices to also connect to it. When you are at home, it will be off and your devices will connect to your home wifi. When you are traveling, it will be on and your devices will connect to it instead.

**Q: I have my own openvps server at home. can i connect to my home openvpn server with this router instead of publicly available openvpn servers?**
A: Yes you can. You should have a ovpn file that can be upload to the router.

**Q: Does it come with a power cord? to tether from phone to tv, do i need additional hdmi or usb cords or connectors?**
A: It comes with a USB cable.
You could setup like this:
Your phone---(Tethering)--->AR300M16---(WiFi/Ethernet cable)--->Your TV

Easy to use and very powerful for the price

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet little travel router
*by J***S on February 20, 2025*

Good little unit, especially for the price. With OpenWRT it has extraordinary features and flexibility, while pulling down just under 1W on average, so my typical "10,000mAh" battery pack could run it all day. Various small things could be slightly better. It should use USB C power - who uses micro-USB these days? Also, as a travel router it should have some sort of cable management for packaging the cables you need. It weighs almost nothing because inside is mostly air that could instead be cable storage/management. They should recess the sockets so cables can stay attached, perhaps with guides to wind the cables around the unit when it's packed. Of course 5GHz ac and a USB 3 port would be awesome (a mini-Beryl), but for $30 it's hard to find something significant to complain about.
