Best Use Case: WiFi Repeater + VPN The "killer feature" here is using it as a WiFi repeater. You connect the Slate to the hotel or Airbnb WiFi once, and all your devices connect to the Slate automatically. The best part? You can configure NordVPN (or your own home VPN) directly on the router via WireGuard or OpenVPN. This creates a secure tunnel for all your traffic without having to configure every single phone or laptop individually. Pros: Ultra-Portable: Tiny footprint, fits easily in any tech pouch. User-Friendly: Great interface based on OpenWrt—simple for beginners, deep for power users. Powered by USB: Works perfectly with a standard phone charger or power bank. Cons: Heat: Due to its compact size, it can get quite hot when running heavy VPN traffic. No Integrated 4G/5G: It lacks a built-in SIM slot, which would have made it the perfect "all-in-one" device (though you can still use USB tethering with your phone). Verdict: If you value your digital security on the road, this is the best investment you can make. Highly recommended!

Excellent travel router for the price. Great build quality and performance. My prior experiences are with Linksys, Orbi, SonicWall, Ubiquiti. I'm reasonably technically savvy with IT. This Slate-7 has good wired and wireless throughput in all modes. Admittedly, I have not stress tested it to max throughput yet - no online gaming, etc. I have used this slick little gadget in an away-from-home apartment as my main gateway. No issues whatsoever. I can even set up a little NAS with the USB port - admittedly not blazing fast, but serviceable. I like the ad-blocker function. I like the display of bandwidth usage. Security functions are spot-on, as far as I can tell. This is a hell of a nice travel router, in my experience so far. My perfection-seeking ask would be... more belly-buttons. That is, I'd put more ethernet ports on the thing - four LAN ports, for example. As it is, it's one-in, one-out: WAN and LAN. But if you've got a switch downstream, you're good to go. Like the OpenWRT management and TailScale capabilities. I recommend this product without reservation.

I travel frequently and this has become one of my must-pack items. The core use case is simple - you connect the Slate 7 to the hotel Wi-Fi once, and every device you have connects through it automatically, all tunneled through your VPN. No need to configure VPN on each device individually. That alone makes it worth it. Wi-Fi 7 in something this small is genuinely impressive. The dual 2.5G Ethernet ports are a nice touch for anyone who wants to go wired at a desk, and the USB-C power delivery means you can run it off the same charger you are already carrying for your laptop. The touchscreen makes it easy to check status and toggle settings without opening a browser, which is handy when you are in a hurry. The VPN setup is very straightforward for GL.iNet's supported providers. I use both Surfshark and NordVPN and both pulled configs down automatically - no manual file imports needed. The WireGuard performance is strong and you will not feel a meaningful speed hit on a decent hotel connection. As a senior network engineer, I can say GL.iNet continues to nail the balance between power-user features and approachable setup. The Slate 7 is the best travel router I have used at any price. Highly recommended for anyone who travels regularly and wants their whole setup secured without the hassle.

I absolutely love the GL.iNet GL-BE3600 (Slate 7) travel router. I owned a previous model and decided to upgrade to this version. I’m really glad I did. I bring this router with me on every trip, and it has worked great for both me and my family. It’s reliable, fast, and gives us a secure connection whether we’re at a hotel or on the go. Setup was very easy, and it comes with everything you need to get up and running quickly. Overall, this is a fantastic portable router and a worthwhile upgrade from older models. GL.iNet continues to deliver solid travel-friendly networking gear.

I recently used this for five months on an extended stay away from home. I work remotely, and had the opportunity to take my RV to a remote part of the state for an extended stay. I bought this router, hoping it would give me a secure network and more solid connection to the RV park wifi. It didn't disappoint! I had it up and running within a few minutes and it maintained a solid connection for five months, even through work meetings, file sharing and streaming movies. I love that you can set it to maintain a 2.4Ghz or 5G connection. The park offers both, and other pocket routers I've tried would always end up switching back to 2.4, leading to a slow connection and lots of issues during video calls. Not a problem with this router! I did have to reset it a couple of times during my stay, but that corrected slowdowns right away. Absolutely would buy this again. I recommend it for anyone who travels on business to set up a simple, secure connection for all your devices. It can't fix a slow ISP or outdated hotel/RV park infrastructure, but it does improve whatever you're working with.

As a tech enthusiast who travels frequently, finding a reliable and powerful portable router is always a priority. The GL.iNet Slate 7 has been a fantastic addition to my travel kit. The feature set on this little device is impressive. Having Wi-Fi 7 and a 2.5 Gigabit port in such a compact form factor is a game-changer. The performance is solid, providing a fast and stable connection that has handled everything I've thrown at it, from streaming 4K video to managing multiple devices and maintaining a secure VPN connection. The build quality is quite decent. It feels sturdy enough to handle the rigors of being packed and unpacked in a travel bag, which is exactly what you need. My only wish would be for future iterations to embrace modularity. The potential for this device could be expanded immensely with support for add-on modules. Imagine being able to snap on a small UPS for uninterrupted power or an NVMe module for ultra-fast onboard storage. That would elevate it from a great travel router to an indispensable mobile powerhouse. Overall, this is an excellent product that I'd highly recommend to any fellow techy looking for top-tier performance on the go. It's a solid piece of kit with a very bright future.

I've successfully taken this with me on travel to an airBNB, hotels, and even the local Chilis. Works great, definitely do the setup at home, connect all your devices to it for the first time, and then take it on the go. Immediate WiFi to everything as soon as you connect the router to WiFi. Had to do a bit of fiddling to understand how to connect it to WiFi through the phone, especially when WiFi requires a sign-in portal, but you get better with practice and it all starts to make sense. If your new to routers like I am, the user interface and setup process is very easy, especially if your already tech-friendly in the sense that you know how to hook up your own devices to WiFi. It's very compact, fits in my tech bag, and uses any USB-C and power adapter as long as it supports PD in my experience. I get fast WiFi, have had 0 problems with drops or slow lag, even downloaded some games on my steamdeck at an Airbnb at an impressive speed. I've used a powerbank to power it as well at the chilis and it barely ate anything (I have a huge power bank though 25000mah).

Worked as advertised. It wasn't too difficult to setup and connect to the hotel's wifi, even with the login authentication landing page that hilton uses. Was also easy to connect to a VPN although i had to manually upload the openvpn cfg as the router interface wouldn't let me login to surfshark and select the location as shown on some videos/gl-inet's website. Hopefully a future software/firmware update will fix that. I was able to power the device with a very small power source which can come in handy. Going through all the settings will take you some times, but once you have it dialed in, its a great unit.
