GL.iNet GL-BE3600 (Slate 7) Portable Travel Router, Pocket Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7, 2.5G Router, Wireless Access Point, VPN Mobile Wifi Routers Abroad for Modem, Mini Routers, Suitable for Hotel, Business

Excellent bit of kit. We've used this a few times on holiday or away from home. It can do a number of things, including wifi extending, 4G/5G modem support, VPN connections (both client and server), and act as a standard router. Plenty of expandability and power available at your fingertips. Nice speedy wifi connections too, with wifi7 support (not that many other devices can take advantage...!). Easy to set up with its companion app, or even via the web interface. The screen is good, but fairly superfluous and unfortunately not really programmable which is a bit of a shame! Decent value for money considering its extensive featureset, but could do with being a little bit cheaper!!

I bought the Slate 7 to upgrade from a brume (GL-MV1000) and what an upgrade it's way faster than the the old one and has WiFi wireguide VPN is easy to setup and Max's my 500mb connection out no problem it works well with my network switch as well so all devices can connect to the VPN at the same time as the others I recommend it to anyone needing a good travel router and to use at home so you can add multiple devices to one VPN connection don't hesitate I did and wish I had not it's an excellent little devices and it can be controlled from the built-in screen

A slightly more superior version of the Beryl which I also recently purchased. Again a very capable travel router packed with features and functions and yet still very affordable. The WiFi signal and coverage are perfect for my use case - inside a 30m x 30M building.

A truly excellent bit of kit to take travelling. A solid and fast connection. They’ve just about thought of everything already but another feature would make it even better in a future version. When you’re heading out of your hotel room, to say use it beside the pool, disconnecting it from the mains power supply drops the connection to the free WiFi. When you reconnect to a suitable portable power supply you’re soon back in action. If only the Slate 7 had a small internal battery sufficient to maintain connectivity for a few seconds as you swapped the USB power sources. On an occasion I reached out to technical support their response was first class. It’s great how the Slate 7 gets round the 4 concurrent device limit at some hotels but probably best to keep that under your hat.

Brilliant router, incredibly fast, so many settings and still receiving updates. Great signal and very portable. Runs on linux so you can even ssh onto the box and install your own services alongside the router's software. I used this to self host my home assistant for a while before switching it to its own dedicated box. Worked great.

The GL.iNet GL-BE3600 (Slate 7) is a brilliant little device. It’s impressively compact, which makes it perfect for travel or home setups where space matters. Pros: Small footprint, but full of features Setup was straightforward for the basics Great for VPN use and privacy-conscious users Travel-ready and feels well-built Cons: Some advanced options in the menus can be a bit over your head if you’re not a techie (but not a dealbreaker) Despite the more complex settings, I was able to get everything I needed up and running without any real issues. If you’re even reading this review, you likely already know you want one — just go for it. You won’t regret it. Strongly recommend for privacy nerds, digital nomads, and curious tinkerers, I just had to knock a star off due to it been very advanced in some areas for me.

This is a great bit of kit allowing you to extend or share an existing wifi connection or an ethernet one or a tethered phone connection. simples ut use and setup. Works really well having WiFi 7 capabilities.

A great piece of kit. Easy to set up and performs well. Works great as a vpn client using WireGuard with Privado.
