MT2500A(Brume 2) Professional Mini VPN Security Gateway, Home Office Remote Work Site-to-Site, WireGuard OpenVPN Server Client 24/7 Connection, 2.5G WAN USB3.0 OpenWrt NO Wi-Fi Ethernet Only

This thing has Very low power usage, and Excellent performance. It is a very advanced router, without WiFi. It uses 1-2 watts using it as a router. It's very easy to configure with many advanced features. The RAM and Flash memory are unusually large, so you can use it for a network that has a massive number of devices with all kinds of special rules for routing if you like, and it's solid. I looked for years for this kind of device. Finally I found it.

High performance and high speed gateway that I can run Tailscale on. It comes with OpenWRT 24 and 2.5Gbps WAN. Loved it!

Great small network router for home, easy setup for VPN server and AdGuard services. It is an openwrt based router so it has a lot of flexibility for installing containers. 👍

Good device. Simple set up. Have this and a vpn running on an Asus router. Had my setup in FL and was logging in from the Arabian Gulf. I was expecting the servers running on the Brume to be faster than the Asus but this wasn't the case. Perhaps user error but both OpenVPN and WireGuard on the Brume were Significantly slower than the OpenVPN server on the Asus. The Brume server therefore ended up being my backup. Was getting 70mbps peak on Asus and hardly 30 on the Brume. Bandwidth at "home" was 500 down 100 up. Distance definitely played a role but would have expected the same affect on the Asus router as well. Shrug. Anyway - its worth a purchase regardless. I was using the Beryl AX as the client.

The GL Inet GL-MT2500 has been great! I needed a router with a native wireguard server feature. This router is so easy, both in setup and the wireguard service! After spending hours on an ASUS RT-AX1800S , lacking any decent troubleshooting indicators, I sent it back for a refund. Pros - : very helpful web-based admin panel(this is great) : detailed status info for troubleshooting : took only 20 mins to get internet up : great status and detail on the admin page : Wireguard was incredibly easy to set up : free ddns is reserved configured with a click keep in mind: does not provide WIFI con: : no mounting holes or bracket

Nice router to make up for some of the deficiencies for my Wi-Fi system. There are several services that are baked in which enhances my network. It allows granular control of the network. I wouldn’t call it plug-in play if you need some more control over your network. I’m not one who understands networking. If it wasn’t for Gemini, I probably would not be able to figure it out. But for my purposes, it does what I need it to do.

Failed after 2 years. Factory reset does not work. Still can connect to U-Boot console but it did not accept any firmware. Fails instantly when update starts.

My use case is probably more specific than most, and this is where this device would shine. I am a digital nomad, and wanted to setup a Zero-Tier device at my home, so I can leverage the public IP at my house (in case my corp office ever blocks cloud-based Wireguard VPNs). I did NOT want to replace my existing router, since my current router is more powerful than even the Gl.inet Flint. So I wanted a dedicated device for Zerotier only, and did NOT need wifi. I hooked this into the LAN port of my existing powerful router. I hooked this into my Zerotier account and figured out the routing. I can now pull my house IP on my cell phone via Zerotier app, so the routing is working. However, the speed is slow (which i guess doesn't surprise me). Next, I need to figure out how to force my travel router (beryl AX) to force traffic through the zerotier network as well. Overall, it does what I need it to do in a small an efficient form factor. That being said, it is good to restate that my use case is very specific. I have used this as a dedicated zerotier server/endpoint ONLY, and nothing more. I did NOT want to replace my existing router. For this use case, this is the correct device for my needs.

Petit et fonctionne bien une fois installé. Support bien et rapide

I have tried a RPI (tricky & unreliable), Asus AC-88U (slow, max 44 MB/s OVPN only) for my VPN. Stumbled upon this and thought I would give it a try. Perfect for me. Connection via Ethernet from my SKY modem/router, enabled VPN client on device (Mullvad), any that supports Wireguard or OVPN (will be slower though) will do and connected to my ASUS router via Ethernet & Bob's your uncle, it works. Speeds from 250 MB/s (using the Asus as the WiFi router) via WiFi up to 450 MB/s via Ethernet. I only have a 500 MB/s line. I am over the moon with this device as it delivers all I need for my house needs. If you are looking for an easy to use and reliable & fast gateway VPN device, this is it.

This works perfectly with Proton VPN - after well over 2 years - absolutely reliable, stable......perfect. Better than running a VPN off your router, this thing handles the hard work, requires zip maintenance, is low powered and ....just works.

Exceeds expectations
