Review: Works great! - I was looking for a way to set up a camera in my hotel room and this router works great. Easy set up and worked well with camera. Gives me a peace of mind when I leave my pets behind in the room and also extra added security for my things. It’s small so it’s great for travel. Review: Sweet little travel router - 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. ## Features - 【MINI TRAVEL ROUTER】 Convert a public/hotel network(wired/wireless) to a private Wi-Fi for secure surfing.

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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great! *by J***. on April 28, 2026* I was looking for a way to set up a camera in my hotel room and this router works great. Easy set up and worked well with camera. Gives me a peace of mind when I leave my pets behind in the room and also extra added security for my things. It’s small so it’s great for travel. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

She started turning the Verizon modem off at night and cutting my Wifi connection . I needed an alternative so I could continue using the internet at night. Did my research and decided this would be the best solution to remedy those issues and the price was extrenely affordable to check out, even if it didn't work out as planned . I hooked it up last night. The input and output of the MINI was similar if not more than what the whole house modem we had been putting out. It's almost a plug and play installation with some minor tweaks which I took upon myself to make. Summary: The Mini could be used as a temporary modem when no Wifi goes down. I'll use it backyard and when travelling on vacations and as an emergency back up if the internet provider goes down and you have no wifi connection to the modem. But only have access to your cell phone. To top it off the MINI has OPN VPN included. The durability which I can't vouche for at this time, since I've only had it for a day. I would proabaly put it in once place and leave it to extend it lifespan. Finally, I checked to see how hot it was going to get when in use. The report I can give is: barely warm unlike my whole house modem unit.
