  • Great portable router, may need some geekiness for certain applications
The big selling point for me is OpenWRT that is the underlying operating system. I have dabbled in IT (networking included) for years, and I know how capable and flexible OpenWRT has been. While the GL.inet web interface is more intuitive and easy to use, it does not provide all the options that are necessary in certain enterprise Wifi situations. Using LuCI (the web interface to OpenWRT), I was able to specify the necessary configuration. That took a little bit of research and experimentation. OpenWRT and LuCI are open source projects and are widely used. There is plenty of information and instructions online. That being said, some background in IT and networking may be needed to dig through some of the material. The little router does run barely warm in an ambient temperature of about 68F. That is to be expected because the RF components consume a bit of power. The circuit board has a large heatsink and a quiet fan for active cooling. As long as the router is not being run inside a closed environment, thermal management should not be a problem. Like most portable routers, power is supplied via a USB C connection. This is a great feature because one can potentially run the router using a USB power pack for truely wireless networking in a mobile application. If you are not familiar with OpenWRT, but otherwise have a background in networking or IT, read about OpenWRT and understand the capabilities and flexibility. I was willing to drop down to command line interface configuration, but LuCI was sufficient to specify the configuration. Otherwise, knowing Linux and how to use the command line interface will be quite handy. Look at it this way, this router is essentially a Linux computer pretending to be a cute portable router with a fantastic software package installed. The GL.inet user interface is sufficient for most non-enterpeise wifi setups, LuCI handles probably most of the rest of the configuration situations. If necessary, drop down to the Linux command line interface for the finest level of customization. ... show more

  • First OpenWRT router. Not disappointed.
I've never used OpenWRT routers before, so this was my first time using it. First few couple months impressions: Even without getting into the LUCI stuff, the regular GL-Inet interface is great, and fairly intuitive - for any level user. There's a more complex interface that can be used, called 'LUCI', but I haven't needed to delve into it yet. But I do know it offers far more advanced setups and settings, than that of the normal Gl-Inet interface. Size: It's much smaller than it seems in the pictures. I was surprised. I've read some comments about fan not spinning, or of it getting warm... I've had no problems with the fan, I'm assuming it's temperature controlled, so sometimes it won't be spinning. It gets about as warm as my iphone charging while I'm using it. So...it's fine I think. It's broadcasting a bunch of different wireless networks, at very high speeds (I have 1GB internet speed, and this router meets those speeds!), so I don't expect the thing to be cold. Use a phone, gonna get hot. Use a laptop, gonna get hot. Broadcast numerous high speed broadband networks, for something like up to 100 different devices, this thing gets hot. lol (I only have about 25 devices on my network, I've had no problems with any of them.) Speed? Excellent Size? Tiny. Definitely should be find for travel. Would I buy this again? Absolutely! (though I do wish it had a sim card slot...the Gl-Inet mudi does, but this one is faster, and the mudi does't have multiple ports. Love that this has multiple ports) ... show more

  • So far, so good. International Travel pending
I read some of the reviews and comments AFTER buying so I was a little worried. I will respond to some of them here. Overall the device is working as promised and for the weight is quite handy! 1. Power Supply: The supplied power is just a normal USB-C power supply. I've successfully run this device with my laptop power supply and by plugging it into my simple power bank. As I write this it has been plugged up to my power bank from about 8 AM to 11 AM and it's only lowered it by 4 or 5% (20k mah powerbank.) When using advanced featured like the USB port and anything else that might cause it to draw more power, you may run into the limit of the device you plug it into. Check your junk drawers! The shipped power supply only comes with one set of plug for your country, however, I happened to have (from some other device I got, apparently) several other country adaptors that snap right into the thing. However based on the above paragraph, I likely wont be traveling with the supplied Power Supply 2. VPN: So far I've only used NordVPN thru OpenVPN with a minor dip in speed (maybe 10mbps.) I'm not a VPN genius but nord reports its working as intended and my IP address reports correctly. I've only tested this domestically, will report back after my international trip. The phone app is a little confusing about VPN set up and this is echoed online with others with similar questions. Something about the configuration stored on phone vs device. I'm a techy person so I figured it out, but I don't think it was actually a big deal. 3. Reliability: I saw some say it was unstable or didn't maintain connection. On this current domestic trip I plugged it in to the wall the second I got there and left it on. Now going on three days straight it is still performing with no change. I unplugged it and came downstairs to work in the hotel lobby (attached to my power bank) and it reconnected immediately without me having to use the app. Realistically I likely wouldn't leave this thing plugged in when I am not in the room or space where it is using it. There was a little bug when I initially tried to connect it to the hotel wifi but I think that was because I was moving too fast or my phone was trying to change connections to working wifi. It seems once you hit connect and order the device to work...it will. While I was piddling with my phone trying to reconnect to the device it had already connected itself to the hotel's wifi. I'll be traveling internationally with this next week and with two people's worth of devices so I will update! Other notes: It does generate a little heat if you plan to use this clandestinely. Think what you might feel through a coffee cup with a heat sleeve on it if it was poured 20 minutes ago. There doesn't seem to be any fan. Software has a lot of neat little features and the wizards to help you connect are actually decent. ... show more
