Enable VPN or AdGuard Home EasilyImmediately enable/disable your selected feature (AdGuard Home or OpenVPN Client or WireGuard Client) through the physical toggle switch. ***The default setting of the button is NO Function, you need to set it in the admin panel before using this function.***
- ADGUARD HOMEAdGuard Home is a network-wide software for blocking ads & tracking. After you set it up, it'll cover ALL your home devices, and you don't need any client-side software for that, you could set it up from the online admin panel.
- ENCRYPTED DNS WITH CLOUDFLAREDNS over TLS is a security protocol for encrypting and wrapping Domain Name System (DNS) queries and answers via the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. The goal of the method is to increase user privacy and security by preventing eavesdropping and manipulation of DNS data via man-in-the-middle attacks.
- SEPARATING PRIVATE WIFI AND GUEST WIFIA guest Wi-Fi network is essentially a separate access point on your router. Your home devices are connected to one point and joined as a network, and the guest network is a different point that provides access to the Internet, but not to your home network. This could increase security for your network.

I bought this for use on an overseas trip, as well as for RV camping. It's proven itself nicely on a recent overseas trip. Why I like travel routers, in general: (1) Connect all my devices to the router before leaving for a trip, and then when I arrive at a destination, I only have to connect one device (the travel router) to the Internet. This allows me to use multiple devices where some destinations limit the number of connected devices. It also allows family members to not have to connect their own individual devices to the wifi. (2) Use a VPN when connecting to WiFi hotspots of unknown quality. I don't know how safe a hotel's WiFi is, or a campground's WiFi. Some may be great, but some may be run by people who aren't very good at securing the network. By connecting my devices to the travel router, and having it set up to use a VPN, I'm establishing my own security. I can also choose a VPN server in the region of the world that makes the most sense for my use case. (3) Range extension: Whether I'm plugging into a network jack in a hotel, or connecting the router wirelessly to the hotel or campground's network, the router has better antennas than some of my devices, and can be situated in a location that gets better signal. In my RV I can put it near the ceiling or near a window, for example. Then I'm able to rebroadcast my own wifi bubble that my devices connect to with fewer problems. The reason I like *this* travel router are: (1) Size. It's slightly larger than the previous travel router I used, but still compact enough to take anywhere. (2) Capabilities: Adguard, DNS over HTTPS, Wireguard / OpenVPN, and the configurability of OpenWRT. It's a full-featured router. (3) Range: Its antennas seem to work very well to pull in wifi signals in tricky places like campgrounds. (4) Speed: On my recent trip overseas I was able to stream movies over WireGuard VPN (using ProtonVPN) without any difficulty, while other devices still were browsing the internet fine. It's the fastest travel router I've ever owned (it's my 4th travel router). I really was surprised at how well it performed with WireGuard VPN. Its speeds with WireGuard are as fast as the unprotected speeds of my older travel routers. Places where this router is a perfect fit: (1) 3-bedroom or smaller apartments. I've set up good quality travel routers as the primary routers in apartments before, and have found them perfectly satisfactory. This, being the fastest travel router I've used, and having very good range, is ideal in such situations. Why mess with a big ugly router in a small apartment when this will do the job just fine? (2) RV camping in campgrounds that provide Wifi. Often these locations have difficult wifi. So placing the router in a position within the RV that seems to get the best signal, can help in rebroadcasting a usable signal to the rest of your devices. (3) Travel to hotels that limit number of devices. (4) Anywhere a VPN can be useful. Sometimes I'll leave this router running at home so that if I want my device to connect through a VPN I just select this router's wifi SSID. When I don't need the VPN, I select my home's router's SSID. It's often useful to be able to select VPN points of presence in other parts of the world. (5) Sharing a hotspot. I can allow several devices to connect to my phone when it's on hotspot mode. But it's sometimes easier to just connect a travel router to my phone's hotspot and let family members connect to the travel router; stronger signal, for example.

This router is running on my 12v powered starlink setup. I'm using 12v to 9v buck converter to step voltage down. This thing powered right up and talked to the starlink dish right out of the box. With a few tweaks in the settings it's working perfectly. I chose this particular router for a few reasons. It has built in VPN compatibility so when we are outside the USA we can use VPN to localize our connection and still access things like video streaming accounts, VOIP/FaceTime calls using our US phone #, not to mention security when doing banking etc. In addition, it has both 2.4ghz and 5ghz capability so I can choose one to the other based on what is working best in wherever we are parked. It also has a guest network feature. We are often posted up in areas with no other Internet access and this allows me to share our internet with others without giving them access to our main network. I can turn the guest network on/off as needed. I have the router installed in a cavity between a couple of cabinets and the signal is strong and carries 50+ feet away from the camper. It is also full strength inside the cab of the truck so we have high speed internet in the cab while driving. This is a GREAT feature for off-road navigation as I can use Google earth or similar for top-down Satalite view of our location in real time. Can't beat that! Overall setup was easy, the admin menu is pretty simple, and the feature set is more than enough for me. The ONLY thing that I wish it had built in was the ability to block websites on the guest network. We end up places where I don't want to allow others to post to their 'effing social media accounts. I prefer some places to be left for others to discover on their own instead of blasted out for the world to see. But hey, that's just me. Overall this is a fantastic little router for our mobile setup.

The GL.iNet GL‑A1300 has instantly become one of my favorite travel gadgets. For anyone who hops between hotels, airports, public Wi‑Fi, or shared networks, this little router is a game‑changer. Setup is incredibly simple, even the first‑time configuration takes just a couple of minutes. Once it’s running, connecting through hotel, airport, coffee shop, and other public login pages is smooth and frustration‑free, which is something most travel routers struggle with. Its tiny, but performance and features rival and even exceed that of full size routers that sell for much more. Speeds are stable, range is surprisingly strong, and the dual‑band Wi‑Fi handles multiple devices without slowing down. The built‑in VPN support is the real highlight: it keeps your connection secure on public networks and works seamlessly with major VPN services. I use mine with Private Internet Access (PIA) and it works flawlessly. For travel, that peace of mind is huge. The compact size makes it perfect for tossing into a backpack or carry‑on, and it barely takes up any space. Despite being small, it feels well‑built and thoughtfully designed, with clear indicators and an intuitive interface. If you travel often, or just want a secure, private network wherever you go, this router delivers far more than you’d expect from something this portable. A flawless five‑star product that earns its spot in every travel kit.

I got this to upgrade my travel router. I'm a certified and advanced degree computer geek. It took me two hours to get this router to connect to the internet via a Wan connection through a switch. The problem is with the app and the instructions. First, it takes a long time for the router to fully boot and acquire an IP address. The app seems to prevent internet access until you complete the setup. But you can't complete the setup via the app until you have internet access. What I did was restart my tablet several times to force the app to the password setup. Once you are able to setup the admin password and the passwords for 2.4 and 5G ssids then after a reboot of the router and app, it suddenly gained internet access. The Wireguard installation via the app was relatively easy. I connected my TV and tried to access YouTube via the TV browser and an IP check from my VPN. Ugh...too slow. The IP check never came back. Via my tablet everything was fine. My VPN provider gave me a thumbs up and showed a new IP. YouTube on tablet works fine through the Wireguard. MAX on the TV through the router with Wireguard connected. Hulu, Netflix and Paramount did not. Paramount wanted me to login. Hula just a blank screen. Netflix kept trying but never got to the main screen. From the tablet, I only have MAX installed and it was fine with a US termination via my VPN. Bottomline. I only paid 74.98 and it has Wireguard. So for travel it is much better than my current travel router. It can do Open VPN as well, I went with Wireguard as the app had the setup files for my VPN. App and instructions both need major improvements Update: I had two major issues setting the router up. I strongly recommend that you use the admin access first via the router IP. If you use the app, you get stuck in reverse action loop. To do anything, you have to change the admin password, but the app doesn't want to move forward to point where you can change the admin password. Frustrating. Then when a client like a phone or tablet tries to connect they can't access the internet. This is because each client has to be granted access via a menu you get when you click on the connected client in the client list. Clients are automatically denied access until granted access via the app or the built-in admin access router website. The router gateway IP might change if you use the Wan port. Oh, and you have configure the Wan port to be a Wan port in app. Configuring WireGuard VPN is fairly easy for most VPN providers. But for some weird reason mine drops the VPN, if I choose a server in the same country that I am located. If I choose a different country then all is good. OpenVPN works well, but I have to load separate configuration files for each server and authenticate each time I switch to a new server.

The hardware is fine and the GL.iNet interface is clean but AdGuard Home is broken and that is the reason I bought it. 1-star for misrepresentative marketing. Any filter list over about 25,000 rules times out and fails to load, including the default list that AdGuard Home ships with. This is not a setup problem. I can download the same file from the router in 3 seconds via SSH. The hardware just cannot process large filter lists fast enough before AdGuard Home gives up waiting. This has been reported on the GL.iNet forum since at least firmware 4.5.16. I am on 4.5.22 and it is still not fixed. GL.iNet support confirmed the issue and acknowledged there is no firmware fix. There is a workaround, symlinking the filters directory to external USB storage, but this requires SSH access and is not documented anywhere. It should not require this level of effort for an advertised feature. GL.iNet advertises AdGuard Home as a feature of this router. Filter lists are what AdGuard Home does. If you are buying this router for network wide ad blocking, buy something else.

This is a great little wireless bridge that connects my wired network to my main Wi-Fi router from a location where running an Ethernet cable is not possible. It provides a stable, fast and reliable connection. I bought this on sale during Prime Day to replace my older GL.iNet GL-SFT1200. A few tips to get the best performance from it: 1.) Use high-quality 100% copper Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables. You may want to replace the cable included with the device. 2.) Enable Allow Ping from WAN so the device can be pinged from your main Wi-Fi subnet. 3.) Enable HTTPS Remote Access for secure management. 4.) In Advanced Settings, allow all WAN-to-LAN IP traffic if your network setup requires full communication between the two subnets.

7/8/26: bought a second one for my sister, also on tds fiber, it works fine. She was initially given a tds router but it was not fully configured by the installer so rather than deal with them I replaced it with this. Updated to 5 stars for reliability and configurability. It’s not the fastest but it’s still plenty good enough. I still wish it had activity lights but the fiber media converter (ONT) does so that’s something. We have small offgrid cabins where power use is important and these sip power and can cover a 550sqft cabin with no problem. 6/15/26: moved the wan to a tds fiber connection that was recently made available in our very remote area. Works fine, zero hiccups. 2/20/26: It’s been chugging along for a couple of years now and has not given me any trouble at all. I have it plugged into an ATT Nighthawk hotspot from about 2017 that is troublesome but that’s because ATT likes to redirect us to cell towers that have terrible signal strength in an attempt to prevent us from actually using the data cap. They deny it of course but I’ve watched them doing it with other equipment. I also have a starlink mini and to switch I just move the routers wan cable from the hotspot to the starlink, works fine and doesn’t mess with the router setup. I have the starlink set to pass thru and I do not use its router at all. It’s just a modem. I finally looked into vlans with this router but couldn’t figure it out. The LuCi admin interface supports it but it’s complicated. I’m not using the Guest network tho so using LuCi I changed the firewall rule for the Guest network to send and receive from the lan but not the wan - that lets me connect some bad behaving stuff like amazon fire tablets without them using tons of my data plan doing things I can’t control. Now a cheap amazon tablet can display web pages served by my own rpi’s and thus function as annunciations for my solar panel system status without downloading 5Gb of movie trailers they think I might be interested in. Actually I HAVE had one problem - I have a pihole DNS and I point the router at it along with all the clients (manually in their wifi setups). Some of my apple clients can ping hostname.local but sometimes they can’t. Nothing on the Guest network can but all of my rpi’s can do it. It’s a pita to hardcode IP addresses in web pages not to mention poor form. 11/3/24: NOTE: to perform a factory reset press the reset button for 10 seconds. A led will flash slow for a couple of seconds, then faster and then blink rapidly. Release the reset button while it’s rapid blinking. If you keep holding it the device will not do a factory reset, it ignores you pressing the reset button. This worked for my slate+ and both 150M’s. original Dropping 2 stars: there are no activity/status lights on the ethernet connectors it’s a small thing but a big part of how I keep track of what is going on in my network. Also there are no traffic rate statistics for any of the clients other than a one-shot 10-second average - I want to know the cumulative numbers for each client. Both of these missing features are valuable tools for spotting unusual activity and in some circumstances they may be the only ones. The router is fast and has been reliable but these missing tools are very disappointing. On initial setup only the 5G wifi interface is active and this cannot be used with an iPad or iPhone for config - they never see the connection as active. The internet is not accessible on them until after the admin password is set. I had to break out an old win-7 laptop to configure it. (by 2026 I think this issue is corrected but I don’t know if it was in the router fw or in iPadOS). I hooked the wan interface to a GB switch on my existing network and using the iPad on 5G transferred large audiobook files from a WD NAS drive at about 13MB/s to a Samsung Bar thumb drive (~400mb/s) local to the iPad. During those transfers the power utilization bounced between .6a and 1.03a (at 5v) so reasonably miserly given the data rate.
