Absolutely yes. on routers

First off, this is a great wireless router. Forget it's small and advertised as a 'travel router'. It has great features and great software in a small package. I use this router with a standard firmware based on OpenWRT, which is stable, fully functional and easy to configure. This router is not made by some super smart company that spends 80% of its money on advertising, marketing and shareholder services. . If you want one of these, there are 500 or so other routers that come in a colorful…

Pros
  • OPEN SOURCE AND PROGRAMMABLE
Cons
  • Legacy model

It's a nice little router

It's a nice little router. Bought for the trip. It supports client repeater mode and allows Mac spoofing if needed. This allows me to bypass the hotel guest portal and connect multiple devices to the same network. This way, ROKU is easy to control. If the hotel's bandwidth is high enough, it can support multiple devices at the same time, just like home. It loads fast. (Note: I have no idea what the little slider on the side does.) The OpenVPN features work great. I installed the setup files…

Pros
  • VPN CLIENT AND SERVER
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Incredible Travel Router - Use as a media server

WOW! Incredible travel router! I've bought two other (more expensive) travel routers (RAVPower and HooToo) advertised as media servers and I've had problems (DLNA videos dropping every few minutes) with both. I was hesitant to get this one as I couldn't find anything that said it would work as a media server, but the reviews were great and I liked that it uses OpenWRT and/or DD-WRT. It took a bit of fiddling, but works great for me. At first I had trouble figuring out how to get DLNA to work…
