## Description

Review: Fantastic bit of kit - I bought this for Hubby to use as a range extender at home but he has found it invaluable when travelling. When staying away in hotels, he has used it to make a wired signal from a wireless signal & vice versa so it allows a variety of devices even if the Wi-Fi has been hit & miss . It can create a private network which is great when you are having to use the available public signal so you can keep your info private. He has also used it at work to wirelessly monitor a machine on the shop floor from his desk & his colleagues were also impressed with the capacities. It's a nice size, very easy to set up, simple to understand and extremely useful as it has multiple functions. Worth every penny!
Review: Brilliant for accessing captive portals on public networks - Bought this for my mum to use during her long term stay in hospital at the moment. The 'Patient Wifi' doesn’t quite reach her room, so I bought this to extend the wifi so she can access the internet on her phone and tablet. It’s brilliant! The beauty with this Router - and the primary reason I bought it - so it can access captive portals on the web browser in order to get online. I initially tried using my own home-use wifi repeater, but for whatever reason, it can’t access the captive portals on public wifi networks, but the TP Link Travel Router does! Once the parameters of the Travel Router are set up on the TP Link Settings Page ( http://192.168.0.1/ ), it’s a brilliant wee box of tricks and works super on public wifi points. I left a sticky note on my Router, so if it’s discovered by patients/ staff, they know what it is and who it belongs to. Mum now has superb internet access and can communicate with family online etc as much as she wants now. Happy Bunny. Recommend. ------- UPDATE 27th April 2022 Router still going strong 👍 Bought a second one for myself to use when travelling and tried out the different functions (AP, client, Repeater). They all do their job well once you set up the correct parameters on the settings page through your browser. TP Link makes it easy for any person to use, whether you're super tech savvy or a luddite. The settings interface guides you through setting up your router, step by step, or of you're an advanced user, you can set it up manually. All the information you need about the router is there on the screen.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this product do This : connect to a wifi network wirelessly (for example a caravan park that supplies wifi) then can i connect to the device,**
A: Yes it can.  I am presently using one to connect to a wireless network and then hook up to an ethernet only PC to give internet connectivity.  Set it to WISP mode.  One word of caution, the PC in my instance required to have DHCP enabled - which Windows 10 connection troubleshooter did for me.  After that it works perfectly and allows said PC to also hook up to a couple of wireless printers.  In this mode, as well as allowing an ethernet connection, it also creates its own wireless network separate from the main wireless network which any wireless device in range - phones, tablets, laptops - can see.  Useful for a pub or restaurant wanting its customers on a separate wifi for the business.

**Q: Does this support hotel wifi login page?**
A: Yes

**Q: Does this item work with public wifi networks that require browser based authentication?**
A: There is a way round this but it does require you to be tech savvy.This can receive and repeat Wi-Fi signals.You need to write down the mac address of your tp link then turn it off.Use a piece of software on your laptop to change your laptops mac address to that of the tp link.Log into public/hotel Wi-Fi, do the login page etc.Turn Wi-Fi off then change your mac address back.Turn the tp link on and set it up to connect to the Wi-Fi. Set a different ssid for your sub network then as long as your tp link stays connected you can use multiple devices.This is how I use my chrome cast and tablet etc in hotels

**Q: will this product work with the Huawei E3256 Dongle?**
A: Yes if plugged directly into the router but not if you use a USB extension cable. This is a pain as an E3231 will do. I think this has to do with the E3256 being dual-channel and needing more power than the MR3420 can provide over an extension cable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile little travel WiFi router
*by A***N on 29 August 2025*

For its size this little travel WiFi router is great. It support both 2.4G and 5G WiFi bands and different usage scenarios which are easy to switch between using a physical button on the side of the device. The device is tiny for what it can do and low power enough that it could be run from a reasonable sized power bank instead of the supplied mains AC adapter. Configuration in router mode (with the switch set to Share ETH) was a breeze using TP-Link's Tether app. In the other modes you have to resort to using the admin console on a web browser which is a shame as being able to do it all from Tether would simplify things. Also your configuration from router mode isn't retained when switching modes and when you switch back any custom WiFi network changes mat be undone by switching modes and using the admin console in the web browser session. The device only supports a single web admin session too, so changing WiFi settings means you then have to power cycle the device to be able to log in to the admin console again. The device also supports a guest WiFi network, so you can create a private wireless network for your trusted devices on the main WiFi, and selectively share internet access with others via guest WiFi without them having access to your private network. It does NOT include any direct way of connecting to the internet itself. To do that you need an internet router you can connect to it using the wired ethernet port, or you need to buy a USB modem (aka a dongle) to plug into its USB port (i.e. with SIM slot and mobile data contract). USB modems aren't that plentiful either and most only work on 3G/4G mobile networks (I haven't found a 5G one at all at the time of writing). It can also work in shared hotspot mode, where all your devices are connected to the device and it connects to public WiFi or a mobile data WiFi router. This can significantly simplify connecting your devices up when travelling, but be aware that it may open your WiFi data to snooping if ultimately going through a public WiFi without using a VPN as well. My one real gripe about the device, and hence it losing a star, is speed. Despite saying it supports fast WiFi, my tests showed it topping out at 50Mbps on 2.4G WiFi and at 95Mbps on 5G WiFi connections. As more devices are added the speeds drop further too.
