Review: Amazing product. - Sometimes things just delight you. This is one of the products. On a recent trip to Europe, I stayed at many hotels. It was nice to connect one device and share the connection instantly with all devices. Easy to connect to, easy UI, fast, reliable, takes little power from USB-C so you can even power it with a small power bank. USB drive to stream own media. Built in VPN. …. Wow wow wow. It even saved me one time. I was at a nice small cozy hotel but their WiFi only worked outside my door (in the hall). No problem. I simply connected the router to a small battery bank and left it outside of my door. My devices connected to it and the router was closer to the hotel WiFi transmitter so I could use internet in the room. I know it’s not a topical example but it was so awesome to be saved this way. I use it each time I work from a coffee shop too. Why not. One WiFi connection, VPN, all my devices go online and are safe (VPN).
Review: Stop shopping here. This is the router you want. - I wish I could give this SIX stars. Not only is this a VERY CAPABLE portable router, it is a super-powerful, user friendly, intuitive, whole-home router. When I bought this, I was merely looking for something that would allow me to port forward through a VPN and over-come my mobile provider's unforgiving home internet hardware and configuration. Boy did I get my 40 bucks worth! Not only does it support OpenVPN from a gigantic line of VPN providers, you can manipulate virtually every single setting in the thing and it makes my cellular home internet viable for my home lab. The router interface itself is based on OpenWrt (a lightweight Linux distro for routers and things) and has been cultivated with both the novice, security conscious user AND the advanced, home-brew, hobbiest network engineer in mind. You can setup multiple VPN profile types to support all kinds of needs and quickly switch between them. Advanced ad blocking, interfaces with dynamic DNS services, advanced firwalling, distributed networks and VLANs, and basically anything else you can think of that you might need. I'll try using my phone to tether with it soon. Right now, I'm having too much fun with the available items that are just standard. Because its software is a lightweight Linux system, there are hundreds of installable packages for this. If you have experience working inside Debian, you can run this thing and make it as powerful or as ubiquitous as you want or need. I'm anxious to find out if I can connect external storage to it because it's only got 128 MBs of storage on board. Don't let the size and price point fool you. In experienced hands, this thing is a NetGear & TP-Link exterminator that will NOT bog down your network.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: With this device can I connect to a hotel wifi, and then rebroadcast the connection using my own wifi ssid?**
A: Yes, you could connect to hotel wifi and then share the internet with your own wifi ssid.

**Q: What are the major differences between openWRT and the version on this router?**
A: The OpenWRT of SFT1200 is 1806 and the code is not fully open source.
If you need a fully open-source travel router, please consider the GL-AR750S.

**Q: Do this router have openwrt installed on it?**
A: The OpenWrt version of SFT1200 is 1806 and it is NOT Fully open source.

**Q: Can the Opal be used as a wi-fi to wired ethernet bridge? I don't want to repeat any wi-fi signal, Only connect to an existing wi-fi via wired etherne**
A: There isn't an explicit mode for connecting as a wireless client bridge. A work-around to this may be to switch off both 2.4 and 5GHz wireless networks, while in the default router mode. This step should prevent other wireless devices from using the Opal as a repeater.  One that is done, you can change the operational mode from router to WDS (if your main router supports it) or extender mode otherwise. Full disclosure: this approach works for me on the Beryl model, so I think there is a better than even chance it will also work on Opal, but that is an untested assumption right now.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lot of features for a small price
*by C***S on January 15, 2026*

This router may be small in size but it works great. Makes port forwarding easy as well as adding static routes. Seems to have all the things you would expect in a pricey router but at a much lower cost. Its made as a travel router so you can pick up wifi signals and bridge it into your network. I use it as a home router and it is better than many more expensive ones. I believe it runs open source software so you can also putty into it and manually configure things.
