    • compact, good signal, good interface, easy Wireguard VPN
This is very compact, half the size of others, which matters when traveling. The signal is good though not without the 5 GHz signal. Unfortunately the power connector is old mini not USB-C. Web interface is great (OpenWRT). VPN settings are easily uploaded and work immediately. Works well, great value. ... show more

    • Makes a Great Repeater

Review Image by Ken K. Ken K.
My shop and radio room is 100ft or so from the house and is made of Metal which blocks the WiFi signal.. Running a cable is not practical. This little router is perfect to connect to my WiFi. Using a couple of 1 foot RP-SMA male to female cables, I was able to snake them thru a gap so I could get the antennas outside. It works perfectly. If you want to duplicate this you need RP-SMA cables NOT SMA cables to extend the antenna. You also need the GL-AR200M16-Ext unit. Only downside, it is a 2.5G band only no 5G. If they ever make a dual band I just may upgrade. Easy to setup at least for me with a lot of options on how you want to run it. Worth the price of admission. ... show more

    • Ok
It works fine most of the time but for some reason I have to periodically power it off then back on to get the signal. I do use it continuously and every few days or weeks it will not connect to the Internet so I unplug the power and plug it in and it usually starts working. I have it tethered to a smart phone 100% of the time so it is possible the phone is the problem. Another case of good enough for me for the price. ... show more

    • Works great, however..
The directions say to plug the Ethernet cable into a specific port. In this port the device doesn't work that well but works fine in the other. There is an LAN and a WAN port. I can't remember which one it is but it's the port that allows you to go into the settings and change the name and password of the router. If you can't get into the settings, don't use this port. I'll update my review when I verify which one it is. ... show more

    • Did not do what the manufacturer claimed, is now a brick
I was in the market for a device to act as a wifi bridge between an adhoc wifi device and my Win10 laptop. This device had the potential to fulfill that need and prior to purchase, I asked if this was capable. There were three answers to my question, two of them clearly not understanding the question (always fun on the publicly-accessible internet!), but the manufacturer also responded, in the positive. So I made the purchase. I could not get the device to join an adhoc network, no matter what I did. I emailed customer support and received the answer I needed to install a plug-in. I was unable to locate an appropriate plug-in and told this to Support. After a few days, they replied back they made a mistake and there is no plug-in. End of communication. I did my own research and deduced I would have more access to the hardware functionality if I upgraded the firmware to a newer (compatible) version of OpenWrt. I downloaded it and started flashing. After approximately 45 minutes there was no visible progress so I killed the web page and restarted the router. I never came fully back up (e.g. no login, wifi SSID not visible). I did the 10-second reset. No difference. I left it unpowered overnight and then did the 10-second reset. No difference. I left it unpowered over another night. Still not functional. It is now a brick and as I no longer have the original packaging, it will shortly join a pile of electronics destined for recycling. Do not buy if you want to do anything more than basic routing, despite the manufacturer's claims. ... show more

    • Cool Little Router!
This little router is pretty cool. I purchased it to give WiFi to my VoIP telephone device (Ooma Telo- it doesn't come with WiFi, only ethernet). I set it up basically as a WiFi extender, connected via WiFi to my home network, and plugged the Ooma into the LAN port. It works like a charm and was easy to setup with the included instructions. The Ooma wi-fi adapter is $50 ($20 more) and would only be good for that one use. I can always repurpose this pocket router in the future if I want. I also think this would be really handy to expand your WiFi network for smart devices that don't need a whole lot of bandwidth. I'm not sure if it would be ideal for WiFi cameras based on the bandwidth I'm getting, but it would probably work well enough. It's cool that it can be used in different configurations, from an extender, to a WAP, to an independent router tethered to your phone or hotspot. That's cool. It also has built-in VPN capabilities, which would be especially handy while traveling. A lot of features in such a small package at a great price. The shortfall I think is going to be that you're limited in data transfer speeds and only one WAN and LAN port. It only uses WiFi on 2.4ghz bands, so slower than the 5ghz networks. In WiFi extender mode, with my laptop hard wired on the LAN port, my download speeds were somewhere around 30 Mbps (and I usually get well over 300 Mbps on my home network). I would think it probably gets better transfer speeds as a WAP (connected to the internet via ethernet vice WiFi), but I haven't tried that out. BUT, it's plenty fast enough for VOIP phone calls and basic office work use, which is what I need. Overall, I'm impressed. ... show more

    • Works but cant handle much
I'm a BAS technician and this little router is very handy; have had it for a few months now, it works for light weight tasks, but when i've loaded it, say RDP over wifi with heavy file transfers, I ran into it over heating and turning off after 15 minutes or so. Then when i've tried wifi and lan with wan port, rdp, other tcp connections, two laptops connected to it at the same time, it didn't last more than a few minutes before it would cycle power. It does lightweight things and good for the price but not heavy traffic. ... show more
