Pocket-sized Wi-Fi that travels as well as it works from home

The TP-Link Roam 6 (AX1500) Wi-Fi 6 Router TL-WR1502X is a small router built for people who need a proper, private network wherever they land, not just a shared hotel connection or a single mobile hotspot that keeps dropping out.

Seven working modes mean this one device handles almost any situation. Set it up as a normal home router, plug in a 3G/4G USB modem when the NBN goes down, or tether your phone to turn mobile data into a wider, steadier signal than a standard hotspot gives you. Weak Wi-Fi in the back bedroom or garage studio is fixed by switching it to range extender mode. Connect an external drive and it becomes a shared storage hub, so everyone on the network can grab the same photos and documents without emailing files back and forth. Built-in VPN support through OpenVPN and WireGuard keeps browsing private on public networks, even while a normal connection runs alongside it.

Measuring just 104mm wide, it fits easily into a laptop bag, and a USB-C power input means it runs off a power bank, car charger or standard USB charger, no bulky power brick required. That makes it as handy backing up a shaky home connection as it is on the road.

Buy this if…

You travel regularly and want a private, stable Wi-Fi network in hotels and rentals
Your home broadband drops out sometimes and you need a mobile data backup ready to go
You have a weak Wi-Fi spot in the house that needs a boost
You work with sensitive files and want encrypted browsing on public networks
You would rather carry one compact device than several separate networking gadgets
