Review: Great travel router, great value! - This is a highly useful tool for traveling. It's very easy to configure. I can log in once to the hotel wifi, and all my families devices are immediately connected. The router will protect each of the devices from being exposed to public wifi. There are many advanced features, including AdGuard, Parental control, and excellent analytics. I don't use it for high-bandwidth applications. I'm mostly limited by the bandwidth of the hotel wifi, so I don't have any personal experience with speed. Srtreaming video seems to work fine. Other reviews state this router is very fast, though. Very portable. Great value.
Review: Perfect travel router - We bought the GL.iNet Slate AX (AXT1800) for my blind grandmother so she could still use her desertcart Alexa while staying at a Hilton hotel, which only offers Wi-Fi that requires a sign-in page. This little router worked beautifully. It handled the hotel’s captive portal with ease, and once connected, every device — including her Alexa — worked exactly like it would at home. We’ve also used it to connect our Nanit Baby Monitor, which is notoriously picky about hotel or guest Wi-Fi. The Slate AX had no problem getting it online, keeping the video feed stable and secure all night. Setup was surprisingly simple, performance was fast and reliable, and the connection stayed solid through multiple devices. It’s compact, well-built, and powerful enough for way more than just travel. If you’re tired of fighting with hotel Wi-Fi or need to connect smart devices like Alexa or baby monitors while away from home, this router is a must-have. Absolutely worth every penny.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this device really draw 5v/4a. this isn't a combination widely supported in most usb chargers or power banks. does it have a pd chip?**
A: I confirmed from pdf documentation that it is 5 v usb-c 4a.  That should mean that you are right.  It comes with its own cable and wall plug that will work.   But, it should not work with most phone wall charging bricks.    You would need one that was 4a. Same for battery bank. Would need a “usb-c pd power bank” to work & it would need to be a big enough wattage to put out 4a.  I do not not the conversion.  But a lot of the “ PD power” power banks say in the listing that the type c is 5v and whatever amperage.
      For instance I need 5v 2.5a to run my router and my PD Power power bank is 30 watts and puts out 5v 3a I think I needed at least 22.5 watts for 2.5a.   So maybe check the bigger 65w usb c pd power, power banks.  
   I am not sure about running it with a lapto.   I’m not sure if that’s what the other answers meant they were doing.   I do not know how much 5v Amperage the newer laptops and MacBooks put out.

**Q: I have a device which could connect via ethernet cable only, can I use this to connect to public WiFi and then share the internet to my device?**
A: Yes, you could setup like this:
Internet---(WiFi)--->GL-AXT1800---(ethernet cable)--->Your device

**Q: Can i set my own Captive Portal on this router ?**
A: AXT1800 does not support this function currently, we will add it in the future.

**Q: Does the inner fan work? How?**
A: Yes, the internal fan works while the CPU temperature achieves to 85 centi-degree. Please update the latest beta firmware: https://dl.gl-inet.com/?model=axt1800&type=beta

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Work from anywhere setup your VPN and tunnel into your home ISP!
*by S***G on January 23, 2026*

Have used this for about 1yr and travel with it. I set this up with wireguard and a stay@home Opal-SFT-1200 GliNet router. Works beautifully. It performs at fast speeds enough for streaming on various devices, easy to setup and manage and tweak to your needs! The range varies based on building structure but i have had no issues and i live in a 3FL house signal strength has not been an issue. Connecting is virtually seamless. As a few months ago my VPN link wireguard broke between the two devices and Bernard Lo from support helped me troubleshoot a recent issue with having recently placed pihole to be the DNS of all my internet traffic. * Bernard * from GLiNET support was throughout and he was able to run some tcpdumps techniques to identify port communication between the routers and traffic and determined that the port forward was not working so my main ISP router was not forward as it should. THE FIX was i reset both routers to factory settings. Reverted the main router DNS to automatic (serve it from main router). Enabled the VPN wireguard configuratio between the GL-iNET routers and it worked. Systematically 1 variable at a time i once again changed DNS of main router and VPN continued to work. With Pihole now filtering traffic as the DNS. I communicated this to support and Bernard ran another test and indeed VPN was active and working. However, the wireguard client was not using pihole to filter traffic as it should and Bernard after testing changed the server config DNS which ultimately finally pushed client to route DNS through pihole. Everything is currently working as it should and i am beyond grateful for this support and the guidance. Absolutely recommend anyone to invest in their routers.
