GL-AR300M16-Ext Portable Mini Travel Wireless Pocket Router - WiFi Router/Access Point/Extender/WDS | OpenWrt | 2 x Ethernet Ports | OpenVPN/Wireguard VPN | USB 2.0 Port

Its really small. Easy to use. The range is great as well. We have a 90 foot garden and signal went to the bottom of the garden and still got 20 meg speed. normally I get nothing. Crazy. The UI is great and it updated to the latest firmware and restarted fine, and thats without having to download the firmware and stick it on a USB drive. If I had paid double for this I would till very be happy with it. It also acts as a repeater as well. proper amazing for £30. and it runs from a micro usb cable. Got it powered from an always on USB port on a gaming rig then through powerlines to the router at the other side of the house.

Wow! This device is slighly bigger than a matchbox and has more functionality than routers costing many times more. I wish I'd discovered these earlier. It's got a full copy of OpenWrt installed. If you're unfamiliar with OpenWrt, it's an open source wireless router project that has just about every conceivable configuration option available, and you can install other apps from a list of about 8,000. There's a polished UI on top of OpenWrt out of the box, but you can also open the native OpenWrt UI called Luci. I've configured it to act as a VPN client and router to connect to home from a remote location. I chose WireGuard VPN because it's easy to setup and enables site to site, so both subnets are permanently connected and visible to each other. I'm definately going to buy more of these. You can just configure it at home and take with you to plug in wherever you need it.

This mini router is a game-changer for travelers and remote workers. It's incredibly small—about the size of a matchbox—but packs a punch with OpenWrt firmware, dual Ethernet ports, and support for OpenVPN and WireGuard. Setup is straightforward via the intuitive web interface, and it can run off a USB power bank, making it perfect for on-the-go use. Whether you need to extend Wi-Fi in a hotel, create a secure VPN tunnel, or tether to a mobile hotspot, this device handles it all with ease.

Very easy to install, a little bit tricky to set up but a quick Google and you are on your way. Decent range, both fire stick and outdoor camera requiring 2.4ghz connected easily

Compact unit works well, you will need to provide a USB power source as not included.

Fantastic little product for the price. It's immensely tiny, smaller than the palm of your hand but does the trick. As expected it's throughput isn't the best, Ethernet you're capped with 100mb ports, and the wifi is capped at 300Mb, but this is likely more than enough if you're just trying to tether your mobile connection. Wifi range isn't the best, but fine for say an hotel room which I think is the idea of this device. My main criticism is with the way the firmware is done on these devices. I'd read some reviews of this product and they mentioned file sharing across LAN, which is what influenced my purchasing decision as I was interested in something low cost/small for it. Unfortunately it turns out this, among many other of their lower priced routers, had the feature removed so that other features could take its place on the latest firmware versions. They give instructions to bring back the functionality which involves some knowledge of linux command line and/or openwrt, but unfortunately it seems like the packages just aren't on their servers for this device since when I went to install what they listed on their forums, it says some of the packages aren't available. They do offer the older firmware on their website which you can freely downgrade to get the functionality back, but I'd say for most people I wouldn't recommend doing that. You won't have access to recent security patches if you do. They've said in the future they might add it back by default, but well, we'll see. Personally I find it a bit odd that functionality can just be removed by firmware updates.

I bought this to extend my home wifi coverage out to a device in the garden and to be able to access the device from the house but I have found it nothing but problems. It seems very complicated to set up and unreliable thereafter. I tried repeater mode and it would work for a bit then give up. I have tried several times to sort out the settings but the instructions for fixing problems etc are so complicated that I can't be bothered to try for fear of messing up the rest of my network. Now I can't connect to it at all and no lights are coming on. I have a mesh system in the house with several range boosters and these have all worked out of the box but this just seems to be a mess. Possibly it works if you have the technical knowledge but for someone who doesn't or isn't a computer engineer I think it is very difficult.

Pretty good, can be used to provide most router services, either as an extension (wired or wireless) includes vpn, options and camera options, but limited memory on the device means you could run out of storage on the device. Can also be used with an external sim modem, usbA type,or as a file server. USB micro for power.

Works like a charm, even with the hotel splash pages. get the firmware update going and watch for open ports and attack surfaces. I used cable on the outside and WLAN on the inside. Work like a charm. Maybe a weekly reset is needed, but hey, it packs a punch, fast, easy, runs.

I bought two of them, one to place a wireguard server at home and the second one to use as wireguard client and travel with it. It was very easy to setup, the interface is great and easy to understand. I am not too experienced in networks (but still a little) and I had no difficulty doing these things work as I intended. So I can connect from anywhere with my home IP, which is great. It's tiny and easy to carry around. Usb and ethernet cables are provided. What else to ask?

Very interesting abilities in configuring it. Fast delivery. Is quite powerful. Just be aware. It is 2.4Ghz only.

Impressively tiny & lightweight (approx the size of a Samsung Flip cell p but less than 1/2 the weight! 3 in 1 eouter. Acts as a cabled WAN/LAN Router/Repeater & Wi-Fi router/extender + 2.4/5ghz capable & has16MB built-in RAM & it's infinitely re-flashable & imitates whatever name brand router you need it to (as long as you have the software). NOT your typical "Made in China cheap POJ" no name router! Was definitely impressed that it even came with a 3ft flat CAT6 cable in the package for setup or cables use. Simple basic setup & dashboard + does both 2.4/5ghz bands (you may need a 5ghz capable antenna if you don't have 1. I got an extra under$10 extended range 1). Stock, it still has impressive range. Entire package is far under 1/2 a #! Saves me from carrying an extra heavy router in my car. It's absolutely portable & powers off any PBank even for range testing. Definitely buy it again.

Ok
