Review: Setup was straightforward. Performance is very good. Perfect for travel - I really like this travel router. It fills several needs for me. My use-cases for this device include: Hotels (which often limit the number of devices connected), commercial campgrounds (which often have poor propagation), portable hotspots that limit the number of devices connected, and at home as a range-extender. Even for hotels that do not limit the number of devices connected, it's convenient to allow all of my devices to connect to this device so that I only have to set up one upstream connection rather than doing the captive portal dance for each device. In other words, I can connect this to the hotel wifi, and then all my other devices will just work without individually walking them through the hotel wifi authorization steps. The most common use case for travel routers, I believe, is exactly that; log the router into the hotel's wifi, and all your devices that you've previously set up with the router will just work without the hassle of logging each of them into the hotel wifi. This is especially important when the hotel wifi allows only one or two devices. The other reason to have a travel router in a hotel setting is security. More on that later. It's also useful as a VPN; you can connect it to a VPN, and all your devices that connect to it will benefit from the VPN. Once again, it's really nice to put the VPN on the router and not have to set it up on each device. Easier, and more secure since there's no risk of forgetting a device. OpenWRT and the web-based GUI are nice to work with; powerful, feature-full, and simple enough. More router manufacturers should just use OpenWRT instead of their own (often inferior) custom firmware. On first use I set it up at home. It's useful to remember to turn off "auto-connect" from your laptop so that it doesn't try to connect to your home router while you're in the middle of trying to get this router configured. Once you've done that, you follow the steps in the documentation. But they're really fairly straightforward and didn't have any surprised. It was also easy to update the device's firmware. There are less powerful models out there; some that provide 802.11bgn, for example. This one provides 802.11ac, so better throughput than some inferior models. And because it is dual-radio, you can, if you prefer, connect the 2GHz band to the upstream router, and then your devices to the 5GHz band. Or vice versa. In theory this can perform a little better than using a single radio for both the upstream router connection and the downstream device connections. The size is small enough to fit into my backpack's side pocket along with my travel 5600mAH portable battery pack. And it is lightweight. For security, in addition to allowing for VPN setup, it also provides DNS over TLS through Cloudflare; free, and a lot more secure than unprotected DNS which lets your upstream provider to see your DNS requests. So, no more asking my kids to drop their internet connections so I can get some work done while we're traveling. No more having to help everyone connect to a hotel's captive portal. Connect this single device, and all the other devices that already paired up to this previously will work automatically. Set everything up in spare time at home, take the router when you travel, connect it to the provider, and everything else works. Just what I needed. Update: I've now had this device long enough to also use it during a hotel stay. The hotel I stayed at had a couple of options: Wifi at a charge (limited to two devices), or wifi for free (rewards members only, and limited to two devices), or wired LAN. I travel with two small Thinkpad X1 Carbon laptops; one belonging to work, and one for personal use, plus my cell phone. So I have a need for three simultaneous connections. Although I'm a rewards member, and so entitled to free Wifi, it was so much easier to just plug the router into the hotel's wired network; all my devices are already set up to connect to the router's wifi, so I didn't have to go through a process for each of them. Without the router I would have had to keep my phone on 4G/5G data and would have had to do the captive portal sign-in for my two laptops. Because of the router, it was just a matter of connecting it to the hotel's network, and all three devices connected immediately. Everything worked exactly as it should. So I'm pleased. And now I've been able to use it as a wifi extender (at home), and as a travel router at the hotel. The next test will be as a range extender at a commercial campground, where wifi is often not all that great. Oh, one last useful feature I've discovered: TLS encrypted Cloudflare DNS: If you are privacy conscious, you may already realize that even if you are browsing the web using https connections, your DNS requests are visible to your ISP, or to your hotel, etc. With this device you can easily switch to encrypted Cloudflare DNS, which makes your DNS (domain) lookups essentially invisible to your ISP, your hotel, or anyone else in the middle who might be snooping. I'm not a big tinfoil hat person, but it is a little more reassuring that I have this extra level of privacy and security available. At home I'm using the router as a range extender, an application it offers with ease. I only wish that GL.iNet made full-size home routers, too.
Review: Awesome. Buy it. - I’ve bought several cheap little routers to use in art projects. The features I need are a) Wifi b) WISP / tethering that allows it to act as a wifi extender and c) Ethernet ports to which I can attach wired network devices. The last one before this was a WiseTiger brand. Worked ok initially, but then it would constantly disconnect from my home WiFi requiring me to reconnect it. Very frustration. When it started giving me SSL certificate errors and failing to let me connect to certain websites, I was immediately alarmed and started researching. Apparently it either comes preloaded with malware or is easily hacked! I disconnected it immediately and now it’s in a box, I will never connect it again to my own network. I replaced it with this and it’s better in literally every way. The speed is fast. I can use it in tethered WiFi mode without noticing any speed reduction. It has never dropped my WiFi leading to frustration when I can’t access the internet. It runs on 5v meaning I could potentially power it from a USB power bank. The interface is great, it’s very configurable and easy to use. I can’t recommend it enough and bought another one almost immediately.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this an 802.11ac or not? The name seems to imply it, but this is not listed in the "wireless comptatibility" field.**
A: FYI, 802.11ac  operates in the 5.8GHz band.  So saying one will typically mean the other.  While they aren't technically one in the same, they are usually used interchangeably in the wireless networking world.

**Q: Does it have a built in samba(smb) server for the usb port??**
A: Yes. It does. When you plug in USB disk it will share automatically to the LAN network.

**Q: Are the ethernet ports gigabit or 100Mbit speeds?**
A: The ethernet ports are 100Mbit.

**Q: Does this allow WPA2-PSK encryption?**
A: Yes it does. It has WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and mixed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Travel Router with VPN Support / Dual Band / MicroSD Support
*by M***H on March 20, 2020*

# ABOUT VPN SUPPORT & INTERNET SPEED - It supports VPN. Working good with NordVPN with OpenVPN client. - The internet speed is ok as a travel router. Not recommended for daily home use. With VPN, it gives me around 8 Mbps speed. Without VPN, it gives around 12 Mbps internet speed. You need to check how much speed will the router give before purchasing any. In the description of this router, they say "up to 17Mbps OpenVPN Speed" but I am getting half of it. But I am okay with it as a travel router. # ABOUT STABILITY It stops working time and again. The wifi connects but internet doesn't work. Have to reboot the wifi time and again. # OTHER GREAT FEATURES - Good WiFi Repeater - Supports WAN Cable. - Supports Tethering Device or you can plug in your Smartphone for tethering. - Supports 3G/4G USB Modem for the internet. - Supports OpenVPN Client (Working Good with NordVPN) - Supports External MicroSD card upto 128 GB. - Dual band WiFi (2G & 5G) - Small and portable router - The admin panel is also good with nice features and easy to use.
