GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2 (Mango) Portable Mini Travel Wireless Pocket VPN WiFi Router - 2X Ethernet Ports | USB 2.0 | OpenWrt | OpenVPN/Wireguard for Public & Hotel Wi-Fi | Easy to Set up via Admin Panel

I recently purchased this Wi-Fi router, and I’m really impressed with its performance. The setup was straightforward, and it works seamlessly with all my devices. The signal strength is strong throughout my home, even in rooms far from the router. Streaming movies and online gaming are smooth, without any noticeable lag. The security features give me peace of mind, and I appreciate the parental controls for managing internet access. Overall, it’s a reliable router that delivers excellent speed and coverage at a reasonable price. Highly recommend!

My requirement for this device was fairly specific. I travel every week for work and have begun bringing my Nintendo Switch on these trips with me. The problem is that the Nintendo Switch is notoriously horrible at connecting to wifi with a captive portal (aka registration splash screen). Such as hotels or other public wifi might require for confirmation to connect via a browser window. Basically the Switch hidden browser is worthless for these situations and hardly ever works. So I bought this device as a work around. By using this router to connect to the hotel wifi I only need it to make the connection and then it rebroadcasts my own private network. Which the Nintendo Switch can connect to just like any normal wifi that doesn't use captive portals within internet browsers (such as your home network). Setup was fairly straightforward. Granted I am a Network Engineer so I have a slight advantage. However, I found the instructions easy enough for anyone. My only minor complaint is that the router doesn't start broadcasting unless you toggle the "mode" switch located on the side (next to the reset button). The instructions aren't clear on that and the toggle switch itself isn't even labelled (but it is called out in the manual). Anyway turn that on first. Once I had setup the router per the instructions. I went ahead and pre-connected all of my devices (phone, laptop, Nintendo) while it was connected to my home network. Then a few days later I setup the router in a hotel. Using my phone I went to the router IP address (admin menus) and connected it to the hotel wifi. Then I launched a browser via my phone to do the hotel wifi registration. Done. Now the router is on the hotel wifi and all of my devices are connected to the router. One IP address. One registration (instead of having to register multiple times for multiple devices). Turned on my Nintendo Switch and it worked perfectly. No messing around with the Nintendo browser. So in summary. The router works on hotel wifi with captive portal. You only need to perform the hotel registration once and all of your devices are good. For $20 something bucks this just saved me a month of hotel registration headaches that I have been fighting. Thumbs up and highly recommend for anyone else in a similar situation. Side bonus this will give your personal devices an extra layer of protection from those public networks. This router is also very small (about 2x2 inches) so it easily fits inside a Nintendo Switch travel case if you own one.

We purchased the product so we could use it on a cruise. As people may know, cruise ships charge for each device you connect to the WiFi, so we should be able to connect a router, and then connect our phones and tablets to the router. 1. That "shared repeater" part worked. As long as we were in the room, we were able to connect two phones and an iPad to a single purchased WiFi. It takes a while to connect, and runs a little on the slow side, but it was usable, and good for the price. 2. This device does not have a built-in battery. If you want to carry it around the ship, you will need to plug it into a battery pack or some such. You will also need to keep an eye on cables, because it seems to come unplugged very easily or to at least lose the WiFi it is repeating. (The good news is that I could fit the modem and battery in a waterproof bag.) 3. The device allows use of two common VPN protocols (OpenVPN, WireGuard), but our cruise ship disconnected us when I tried to install WireGuard. I have no idea how it knew, so this may be user error. But if you are planning to use this with a VPN, then I would suggest you install and test it before you travel. 4. You have to be careful about the login and logoff, because our phones seemed to be identifying to the router using the same codes that the router was using to link to the ship's WiFi. So if the router turns off, then the ship might think that line is still connected, and not let anyone else connect on that account. This seems like pretty common behavior when a router is used as a repeater, so plan accordingly. 5. We did not use the Mango for USB modem, tethering, or ethernet. I have no reason to believe these don't work, it was just not what we were looking for. 6. This was almost a five-star review, but it was not as easy to set up as I had wanted. If you wait to get to the cruise ship before you try to set it up, you might spend a few hours of your cruise trying to figure out the instructions. This was only slightly harder than a regular modem repeater, but I had been trying to do the set-up on the flaky ship's Wifi, it would have been much harder.

I set one up as a wifi repeater to extend wifi range on a second floor of a house. Note that it is a repeater and not an extender, so it appears as a new wifi network rather than just extending the range of an existing network, but the effect is otherwise the same once you connect devices on the second storey to the new wifi network. This is actually how you might use it in a hotel or public wifi area to add an extra layer of security (connect to the wifi firewall router which is then protecting you before passing the connection through to public wifi, especially if you use the VPN feature). Interface made sense. Not 100% perfect but intuitive enough to figure out. No Ethernet connection required for setup. Very good device for the money.

I am amazed and impressed by this one. Obvious use: when travelling, use it to provide WLAN over the available hotel Wifi connection or other not that trustworthy connections. Not that obvious but hugely useful: - When abroad. Securing your connection while working and making it appear as being in the country you want. - Making an account work as you would, bypassing region limitations (in combination with your VPNs features). Useful for streaming services with regional restrictions, sharing when not in the same "house", using a bank or country public service that has geo-limitations ... It is really easy to install and setup. It will ask for a new router password in the first setup. My advice: change the default Wifi SSID name and password, too and make the Wlan not public. No point to use a router for securing your life via VPN and leaving these as default. It works with NordVPN (just remember to use as username and password the SERVICE ones, as found in the NordVPN page). It is way better than using your own router's VPN client (in case it provides one), since there are cases where you want to avoid it. Example would be a company PC running company VPN. Then there is no reason to have this on top of the Router's VPN. In such a case, the company PC can go over the normal router internet connection, having the company VPN. But your home PC or smart TV could go over the GL.iNet Wlan, thus getting automatically anonymized and secured. It is also much better than installing VPN clients to each device. Too much of an effort to do and maintain up to current. Plus, there are some devices where there is not even a client for them. It will also help your devices not being overloaded with clients and operations, leaving this to the GL.iNet router. Obvious observation: this is the smallest family member. Its resources as as low as it can be. Meaning, if you want to have many devices coming out of this, as your central VPN, and you intend to watch a lot of streaming services, HD, 4k, if you have special needs that you need to configure, like special triggers of what to be done, when VPN is down, different subnets, special behaviors (even though you can do quite nice basic configurations with this small router), you should look for something more versatile and strong. Especially for NordVPN, you can download their own configuration files or upload and use yours. It is small, it is silent, it looks positively funny (yellow). To reset to factory defaults, just press the button for 10 sec. You can not have it simpler. Only one "negative" i found. It does not come with the power supply (USB charger). Not hard to find one these days, but I expected that there was one with it in the box.

Super transportable. Excelente opción para armar una pequeña red y se puede alimentar hasta con una powerbank.

router deed precies wat ik wilde.
