Newbie question about using mini smart router on a plane

Technical Support for Routers

Hi there,

I am looking for a solution for flying where I only want to pay for one Wi-Fi connection but can use multiple devices. I came across the GL.iNet Shadow portable router and was wondering if it would suit my needs. Specifically:

  1. Can it be easily configured to connect to the plane’s Wi-Fi using, for example, an iPhone as the initial connection? Is this fairly easy to do?

  2. Can it run off a simple USB battery?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

First please make sure that Wi-Fi devices are allowed on the plane.

  1. Yes, iPhone can be connected to AR300M’s Wi-Fi and open GL WebUI to config the Repeater.
  2. It can be powered by USB, but ensure stability.
