If you’re reading this and still haven’t had power restored to your home in the wake of last night’s storm and consequential outages, we feel you.
Fortunately, Amazon has a solution for your internet losses with the TP-Link Ultra-Portable Wi-Fi 6 AX1500 Travel Router.
The device typically sells for $60, but you can get it for 26% off and have it delivered as early as 8 a.m. tomorrow morning with Prime delivery.
You’re in the middle of a Zoom call with a client when your screen freezes. You scramble to reconnect, but your home Wi-Fi is down again.
Maybe it’s a relentless power outage that forces you to hop to Starbucks until you’re back online. Or maybe your internet service provider is just straight up having issues.
Any which way you look at it, when interruptions spring up, your productivity hits a wall and starts plummeting.
The TP-Link TL-WR1502X is designed for exactly these moments. According to TP-Link, this compact device transforms nearly any internet source into a fast, secure, and private Wi-Fi 6 network — whether you’re at home, in a hotel, at a café, or on the road.
Internet When You Need It
Power Out? No Problem. When the lights go out, so does your router. But the TL-WR1502X can be powered by a portable power bank (with 9V/12V PD or QC support) and turned into a mobile router that keeps your devices online even during blackouts. That means no more missed meetings, lost files, or frantic phone calls to your boss.
Traveling? Take Your Network With You. Hotel Wi-Fi is notoriously unreliable. But TP-Link says this router supports captive portal authentication in one step, so you can log in once and instantly connect all your devices, including your laptop, phone, tablet and more, without repeating the process. It’s truly like bringing your home network with you.
Spotty Wi-Fi? Extend or Replace It. Whether you’re in a large house with dead zones or a café with a less-than-ideal signal, the TL-WR1502X can act as a range extender, access point, or hotspot. According to TP-Link, it supports dual-band Wi-Fi 6 speeds (up to 1201 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz), so you get smooth video calls, fast downloads, and zero buffering.
Security That Isn’t Sketchy. Public Wi-Fi is super convenient, but it’s not without its risks. TP-Link alleges that this router creates a private, secure network even when connected to public hotspots. This means your data stays protected, and your work stays confidential.
Measuring 4.1 inches long × 3.5 inches wide × 1.1 inches high, this router is smaller than most smartphones. TP-Link says it’s built with no moving parts, so it’s durable enough to toss in your bag and forget about until you need it.
Plus, if you need to share your phone’s data with your laptop or tablet (is this not multiple times a day)? Just plug it in via USB tethering. Want to share files between devices? Connect a USB drive.
TP-Link designed this router to be a versatile hub for all your connectivity needs, and according to Amazon reviewers (and the 2,000 devices bought on Amazon over the last month alone), it’s money well spent.
For those traveling this summer, the travel router is a game-changer
One Amazon reviewer shares that while the device does a lot, it’s the travel functionality that’s especially impressive. “I am in a period of extended travel. If I didn’t have this router, at every new destination I would have to update the wifi network name and password on my phone, laptop, iPad, Kindle, portable Roku, etc.,” notes customer C. Lira. “Instead, I have created a network name and password in this router and set all my devices to use that. New lodging, I just plug the TP Link into the host router, and all my devices instantly have wifi without any updating,” they say.
