Yeah you're not gonna get a cellular modem under $100 USD. Sorry


Hotels all have 30-day maximum stays. And they always use the cheapest bandwidth pool so internet speeds are not good. And it's shared.


Unfortunately digital nomads aren't going to be staying in hotels. Maximum 30 days, plus terrible internet.

https://thewirednomad.com is better suited because they are all non-hotels and have verified internet speeds.

It's an educational page.


Unfortunately it's not possible to check for CGNAT via web browser. The only way to is to check the WAN IP directly on your router.



Yes, I'm aware of this page and it does not work. I tested using my iPhone hotspot as the internet source and it did not show evidence of CGNAT. Only green dots on the port squares.


Not at the moment. I understand that is the beauty of icanhazip.com, but I didn't realize my version would be desirable to have this "feature". https://ifconfig.co/json exists though!


Every single router on the entire market uses chips from three companies based out of the US and Taiwan. If TP-Link has malware in their chips, every other manufacturer does too and the US government probably put it there.

If the concern is software, then just like everyone else is saying, install OpenWRT on it. GL.iNet routers already come with their own version of OpenWRT. You can do the same on those if you don't trust it.


From Nov. 2, 2024 in Ars Technica:

> Hackers working on behalf of the Chinese government are using a botnet of thousands of routers, cameras, and other Internet-connected devices to perform highly evasive password spray attacks against users of Microsoft’s Azure cloud service, the company warned Thursday.

> The malicious network, made up almost entirely of TP-Link routers, was first documented in October 2023 by a researcher who named it Botnet-7777. The geographically dispersed collection of more than 16,000 compromised devices at its peak got its name because it exposes its malicious malware on port 7777.

A little blog article for beginners who may have a remote job, but never considered traveling because they might be tracked by their employer. Self-hosting a VPN is a way if you’re careful.


A dedicated website (no Chrome extensions) for digital nomads, or remote workers, to find accommodations with fast, reliable, and verified internet speeds. Crowdsourced data by guests and hosts. Hardware product for periodic speed tests uploaded to The Wired Nomad website available for hosts.

Current supported platforms: Airbnb, Vrbo, Flatio, and NomadStays.


This is pretty awesome, but only makes sense if you've already got an AppleTV. The price difference between the Apple TV and a Raspberry Pi is definitely non-negligible. Also, you probably want the Apple TV with ethernet which is extra $$.

Personally, I don't care about TV so I won't be using one anyway.
