Cheaper than the 4 device wifi on board and you have it for your next travels. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B4ZSR2PX How does this work? Do you add a sim card or? Can you use this on sea days?

The router is logged in and then it becomes the ‘home’, you then have to connect to the name you assigned to your router. All will need to be physically close to the router, so you do not just connect and roam around. So I guess fine if you want to connect multiple devices in one spot for a period of time.

Rare BlerkOne Posted July 26 #28 Share Posted July 26 With a router you would log the router into the ship wifi with your account. Your devices would log into the router. The router splits the signal between the devices logged into it. Multiple devices might be able to read email at the same time, but I doubt they would be streaming movies at the same time. The one I have from Amazon was about $35 and works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that would work at sea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just use it for emails. Have you sailed since Princess converted to Starlink? Most everyone who has sailed since that point have raved about how good it is...certainly better than what it used to be! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
