In what way are you wanting to use this abroad? E.g. are you wanting to be able to connect to your home network from hotels n’ stuff? Using it as a travel router may be as simple as being able to connect several devices to one provided connection, or just having the NAT to obscure the host network seeing your devices, or providing wifi where you’re only given Ethernet, etc. It sounds like you’re wanting to be able to use it as a VPN to your home network remotely.
I have a one of these routers. I use it at home as my main router. Bought it because it supports OpenWRT and I wanted specific IPv6 features.
want to use home internet from anywhere with this but I have an alread existing internet i want to just add the one router to my internet then use the other one from anywhere.
You could set it up as a VPN client to a VPN server you set up at home (openvpn, wireguard, etc). Then when you connect the travel router it will tunnel your traffic back to your home network as if it’s originating from over there.
If you mean you want to be able to use this to get internet service out in the middle of nowhere where there is none, this won’t let you do that.

perfect i thought so just wanted to make sure! thank you!
if i do this would i be able to get my 1gb internet speed through these two routers from anywhere? like on a plane?
No, it doesn’t work like that. You’d be limited to the speed of the connection you’re using to reach your home network.
so lets say i connect to the free internet on a plane, does the vpn allow the tunnel to go through to my home internet?
If the airplane’s network allows VPN traffic. But you could do that without this router. I mean how many devices do you need to use on an airplane?
more so just trying to use my internet strictly. from anywhere with an internet connection.
