Review: Brilliant little router - This is a brilliant little router. Very easy to use, weighs practically nothing and runs from any USB power source. Despite having an internal only wifi antenna, it has a surprisingly good coverage. I have a 3 floor house and can get a solid signal anywhere in the house. You can set it up and share a wired, wireless, or tethered internet connection in seconds. double NAT in router mode was a concern at first, but it seems to work well. You can set up an OpenVPN, or Wireguard VPN also so that everything connected to it shares the single VPN. If I were to criticise anything it would be that the Wifi is only 2.4ghz, and not 5Ghz. Having said that, for general browsing, streaming and office work, its more than adequate. £25 well spent. Review: Just brilliant - The main router in the house is an expensive "dead spider" thing which cost me hundreds. It's great but, cheap IoT devices like smart bulbs and plugs _really_ don't like the shared 2.4GHz/5GHz airspace. I lost hours of my life trying to sync £10 supermarket bulbs reliably, it's a pain in the proverbial when you've got several in one room and pairing manages to link three out of the four. Enter this teeny-tiny little bad boy. 2.4GHz only and a frankly astonishing range in a house which has internal walls two feet thick. Every Smart device in the house connected in seconds and solidly. Even the Gen 1 Echo connected with it, and that's been sat in a cupboard being a gormless paperweight for two years. I don't use 99% of it, but the functionality offered is exceptional. Its default firmware is more feature-rich than most regular users will ever need, and it natively supports OpenWRT - it's literally a tick box in the settings - which will keep the most ardent of hackers and hobbyists happy. Superb product, they could have slapped a zero on the price and I wouldn't have felt too hard done by. Purely from a home automation point of view it's one of the best £20 I ever spent. I'm seriously considering buying another one just to tool about with. ## Features - MINI TRAVEL ROUTER: Convert a public network(wired/wireless) to a private Wi-Fi for secure surfing.

I suggest using a different "SSID" with it and configuring your devices to also connect to it. When you are at home, it will be off and your devices will connect to your home wifi. When you are traveling, it will be on and your devices will connect to it instead. **Q: I have my own openvps server at home. can i connect to my home openvpn server with this router instead of publicly available openvpn servers?** A: Yes you can. You should have a ovpn file that can be upload to the router. **Q: Does it come with a power cord? to tether from phone to tv, do i need additional hdmi or usb cords or connectors?** A: It comes with a USB cable. You could setup like this: Your phone---(Tethering)--->AR300M16---(WiFi/Ethernet cable)--->Your TV ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant little router *by D***D on 29 March 2022* This is a brilliant little router.

I've used this same system with a GL.iNet GL-AXT1800 which is many times more powerful for a couple of years now with zero problems. The Shadow was needed for a distant room. Probably best to update to the latest firmware before doing the complete setup as there is jump from 3 to 4 release firmware which may cause the loss of certain settings. Startup with VPN running is slow at almost 5 minutes but once running all is fine and works perfectly if slowly compared to GL.inets more powerful models. Highly recommended for the price, performance and great versatility. Gl.inet make great products. ## Frequently Bought Together - GL.iNet GL-AR300M16 Portable Mini Travel Wireless Pocket Router - WiFi Router/Access Point/Extender/WDS | OpenWrt | 2 x Ethernet Ports | OpenVPN/Wireguard VPN | USB 2.0 Port - GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2 (Mango) Portable Mini Travel Wireless Pocket VPN WiFi Router - 2X Ethernet Ports | USB 2.0 | OpenWrt | OpenVPN/Wireguard for Public & Hotel Wi-Fi | Easy to Set up via Admin Panel - GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 (Opal) Secure Travel WiFi Router, AC1200 Dual Band Gigabit Ethernet Wireless Network, IPv6 USB 2.0, Repeater Bridge Access Point Mode, Router for Public Use, Easy Setup with Guide --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/656468338-gl-ar300m16](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/656468338-gl-ar300m16) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
