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

Worked exactly as expected! Very easy to set up and very portable and worked on all the networks i have tried.Set up NordVPN (very easy) and this VPN runs all the time when connected to any other network. I took this on holiday with me and connected it to the hotel WIFI, then all my devices (no device number restrictions) connected and were protected and ‘in the UK’ due to VPN.I did also purchase a protective case just for protection and to store any extra cables. It is very well built but like to have everything in one place.Has a nice display on front to show what status is and to start and stop the VPN as well.As a router it is very fast, when running the VPN, throughput drops by around 20% (max 150mbs) and WIFI range was very strong.I now carry this when travelling so i dont worry about hotel / public connections. Have not tried on a plane but told it works there !

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.

I've used GliNet devices before, the old Mango was a great little staple for on the road. But this new device really elevates the game with portable travel routers. You get all the decent level grade control as other routers with the portability that travel requires. I bought this one to be a WIFI bridge for a production network at a Hotel, we got 500Mbps each way using this little router so impressive is an understatement. Lovely build quality and the touchscreen on front is a nice bonus with the ability to connect and disconnect VPNs at a touch.

I bought a pair of these in order to set up a VPN tunnel to my home network. It was super simple!I have Dynamic IP at home - but it seemed to figure it out (no idea how) - it just worked!I think I'll buy one of their simpler travel routers that I can use in my camper van too.If you get stuck, ask one of the AI's, tell it the firmware your router is running and it will figure it out for you!

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 featuresSetup was straightforward for the basicsGreat for VPN use and privacy-conscious usersTravel-ready and feels well-builtCons: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.

Great little device, light and very versatile

Used it in a hotel the other day, works fantastic

Everything you would want in a Router
