A Powerful and Promising Travel Router for the Tech-Savvy
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.

Best travel router I’ve ever had
I bought this to address a specific network issue I was experiencing between my main system and a MS Surface Pro.I needed a way to increase the bandwidth between these 2 devices, and also provide Internet. On both systems I installed USB-C 2.5GB network adapters. I set the WAN port to a LAN port, and plugged both systems in. I connected the router as a client to the WIFI.Now normally, when you have both an active WIFI and ethernet connection, the primary connection always defaults to the ethernet. I manually set the metric on my main system to default to the WIFI. On the surface, I disabled the WIFI so it goes through via the travel router. This established a route from the main PC to the Surface via ethernet. After testing the speed between the systems, I was getting a solid 1.8Gbps.That perfectly fixed my issue, but wait….there’s more..Now that I had this very robust router up and running, I absolutely had to check out it’s other features. The web interface is extremely intuitive and I quickly got a sense of all of the features available. I tested the VPN client by adding my ProtonVPN manually to the router, and it only took about 3 minutes to have it up and running and tested. It has AdGuard built in, which I won’t need much at home since I run PiHole, but it will be very handy when I am travelling.There are a lot of options for remotely managing the router, but also it has an SSH connection. For the very tech-savvy, this is a welcome feature.There is a ton more I could spend hours writing about, but let me condense it down to this.I was worried about spending this much to fix a minor issue I had, but after seeing how perfectly it fixed the issue, and the additional tools that this adds to my travel kit, I am more than satisfied, This is high quality and worth every penny.

Great device. Very high speeds and coverage.

Easy setup. Lots built in functions. And fast! I would give more stars if I could.Note, when I first went to set it up, I used a charge block and cord that was available. I unit kept restarting (scrappy cord) . So if you have the same problem, use the supplied cord.

Ik ga deze gebruiken voor de vakanties. Thuis zijn alle apparaten middels wifi verbonden met de gl.inet. Op de camping hoef ik alleen de Gl.inet met wifi te verbinden en alles werkt zoals het thuis werkt. Tevens kan ik de wifi via een exit node laten lopen, waardoor ik een beveiligde verbinding heb.
