GL.iNet GL-AR300M16-Ext Portable Mini Travel Wireless Pocket Router - WiFi Router | OpenWrt | 2 x Ethernet Ports | OpenVPN/Wireguard VPN for Public & Hotel Wi-Fi | USB 2.0 Port | 2 x External Antennas

I love Gl.inet routers. It comes with there own version of openwrt but you can easily upload official openwrt firmware. The speeds are great and reliable wifi connection. Easy to setup and always up to date so security is good.

Works really well goes pretty far only has 2.4g though

I bought this to use as a small network with my telescopes MiniPC and my laptop when far away from WiFi. Setup was easy and it seems to work just fine.

I am using it to remotely monitor my astrophotography rig. Remotely in this case is within 50 feet or so, the telescope being outside and I am inside. It sits on the power station, no connections to the astro rig computer. I use Remote Desktop Connection on an Android tablet to monitor the progress. The astro computer is running NINA. A shout out to Patriot Astrophotography for doing a video on this and how to connect a camera to show the rig within NINA. I haven't got the camera yet.This wifi router is easy to setup. Select the router in the wifi choices and enter the default password. At some point an Ethernet cable needs to be attached to get Internet access to update firmware. Go th the network selection for more setup choices to change the SSID.I got an excellent reception on my cell phone within about 50 ft, I was outside and the router was inside.I kept getting dropped when I was using my home WIFI. I then used my cell phone as a hotspot and lost connection once in a couple hours. So, I searched the Internet and found this unit. I haven't actually used it beyond initial setup, powered things off and back on to be sure it reconnected. Shows lots of promise.

I was in the market for a device to act as a wifi bridge between an adhoc wifi device and my Win10 laptop. This device had the potential to fulfill that need and prior to purchase, I asked if this was capable. There were three answers to my question, two of them clearly not understanding the question (always fun on the publicly-accessible internet!), but the manufacturer also responded, in the positive. So I made the purchase.I could not get the device to join an adhoc network, no matter what I did. I emailed customer support and received the answer I needed to install a plug-in. I was unable to locate an appropriate plug-in and told this to Support. After a few days, they replied back they made a mistake and there is no plug-in. End of communication.I did my own research and deduced I would have more access to the hardware functionality if I upgraded the firmware to a newer (compatible) version of OpenWrt. I downloaded it and started flashing. After approximately 45 minutes there was no visible progress so I killed the web page and restarted the router. I never came fully back up (e.g. no login, wifi SSID not visible). I did the 10-second reset. No difference. I left it unpowered overnight and then did the 10-second reset. No difference. I left it unpowered over another night. Still not functional.It is now a brick and as I no longer have the original packaging, it will shortly join a pile of electronics destined for recycling.Do not buy if you want to do anything more than basic routing, despite the manufacturer's claims.

I'm a BAS technician and this little router is very handy; have had it for a few months now, it works for light weight tasks, but when i've loaded it, say RDP over wifi with heavy file transfers, I ran into it over heating and turning off after 15 minutes or so. Then when i've tried wifi and lan with wan port, rdp, other tcp connections, two laptops connected to it at the same time, it didn't last more than a few minutes before it would cycle power. It does lightweight things and good for the price but not heavy traffic.

I bought this router along with an YOTENKO external antenna to use as a WIFI repeater. My woodworking shop is in a metal building which blocks the WIFI signal from the house as well as the cell signal for my phone. Since this router has detachable antennas, I replaced one with the lead from the external antenna which I mounted outside the building facing the house. Works great. Now I can stream TV and WIFI call inside the building for under fifty dollars!
