Review: Top 1 router - The best router I ever use in my life
Review: I’ve tested 4–5 different travel routers over the past six months, and the GL.iNet GL-BE3600 (Slate 7) is by far the best. It delivers a consistently stable connection and works flawlessly with both Android and iPhones. I primarily use a travel router to stream my son’s travel baseball games and to stay connected when I’m on the road. With other travel routers, I constantly ran into connection issues—especially when cellular signals were less than ideal. Troubleshooting was frustrating, since problems could stem from all kinds of factors. For example, with TP-Link routers, I eventually discovered they had issues with USB 3.1 Gen 2 cables, despite claiming compatibility. It took weeks of trial and error (and unhelpful support) before I figured out that swapping to USB 2.0 cables resolved the problem. In contrast, GL.iNet’s support has been fantastic. They were patient, responsive, and easy to work with. While I didn’t encounter the same cable issues with this router, I did experience a few minor bugs. Their team reviewed my user logs, quickly offered workarounds, and assured me that fixes would be included in upcoming firmware updates. That level of support gave me a lot of confidence in the product. From a functionality standpoint, the external touchscreen is a game changer. Being able to switch between repeater mode and tethering mode without logging into the app makes the experience seamless. The connection itself is rock-solid—rarely drops, and when it does, it reconnects automatically within seconds. I like to thoroughly test products before committing, and this travel router has proven itself to be a keeper. The build quality is excellent, the performance is second to none, and the support exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the Slate 7 to anyone looking for the best travel router available today.
