I know this is an old post. I'm wondering if they are still disconnecting travel routers, or is this not currently an issue on Starlink ships (specifically the Harmony)? Thanks! I got my GL-MT3000 Beryl AX, and setting it up at home was actually really straight forward and it performed well. It easily cloned my laptop's MACID and hostname when connecting to my home wifi. My laptop connected over ethernet was getting 300+ Mbps and my phone over 5GHz 180+ Mbps.

Thanks for the tips about the door, and the USB cable. Guess I'll be experimenting here to see how well this Wifi AP can push signal.

Thanks @twangster. Yeah, I assume SSID is how they are identifying and creating their firewall rules (for now). It also sounds like you have some experience with the GL.iNet devices? I found a GL-MT1300 (Beryl AC) locally on Facebook Market for $45. I was hoping to use this as close to the hallway in my Ocean Balcony room, on an Oasis class ship. My in-laws will be staying in a Central Park Balcony room, across the hall, and one door over. I estimate the distance will be 30-40 feet max to the far side of their room. They will be watching our infant most of the trip, but I may spend some time in their room to watch the baby too. Do you think the GL-MT1300 will have usable signal going this distance, and through at least 2 metal doors/walls?

For those who have used a travel router... Is there any issue with roaming phones using that travel router's wifi hotspot? Say I setup a travel router in my stateroom, and configure my phone to connect to that SSID. Also, when I'm elsewhere on the ship I will directly use ship wifi (in order to use the free app/chat). When I am away from my room I will select, "Use our app for free". I wonder if this makes the app send some type of cookie to identify itself, or is the ship wifi just creating a "free" rule for my MACID? When near my stateroom, my phone will automatically connect to the travel router, which forwards my traffic through my travel router's paid MACID. But if I use the app while on the travel router SSID I could potentially be sending a cookie that this is a free/unpaid device. I am probably overthinking the process, but just wanted to make sure things do work as seamlessly as I think. While on the ship I can use the app for free, while near my room I can use full internet on my travel router's SSID. Thanks!
