This tiny device adds some neat possibilities to travel, and here's one example.
On a long flight across the Pacific Ocean, I was flying in a party of 5. The flight had Wi-Fi, but this required payment. We weren't about to pay $16USD × 5, so instead:
- We paid once for unlimited Wi-Fi
- I logged into the plane's Wi-Fi with this router
- We all connected to this router for fast Wi-Fi 6 between us.
The Beryl is very low power, so I was able to power it from a plain USB port and fit it between our seats below:
Once the Beryl had internet, everyone in our party instantly had internet since they had connected to its Wi-Fi before! And so for our long flight we all had unlimited internet, fast enough to stream TV shows! 😊
This device is strictly for wi-fi while travelling - at home I use a NanoPi R5S router and Unifi U7 Pro Wall.
