GL.iNet GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX) Portable Wifi Router for Travel & Home, Wireless Access Point, Pocket Wifi 6 Abroad, Secure Vpn Router, Dual Band, Mobile Wireless Routers for Modem, 1 x 2.5Gbp WAN Port

I needed network access to my portable hard drive as my EE router no longer has this feature. This works very well but the setup isn't intuitive. As this is a router with all sorts of network uses, if you are network savvy then this would be no problem to setup I assume. It really needs a guided setup but there are lots of online resources to help and with a bit of trial and error I got it working in about half an hour for my specific needs. The range of this little guy is very impressive. I can pick it up anywhere in my home and get a very fast connection. It's stable and reliable so far. The build quality is very good and solid. It's compact and has a decent amount of port connections, including the all important USB 3 port that I needed to for network storage. If you are tech savvy then this is a great little mini router and reasonably priced too.

The Beryl AX has been a game-changer for my internet setup. Whether I’m at home or on the go, this portable Wi-Fi 6 router delivers reliable, blazing-fast internet speeds of up to 3000 Mbps. The dual-band connectivity ensures a strong and stable signal, even with multiple devices connected. Setup was a breeze, and I love the added features like VPN cascading and AdGuard Home for enhanced privacy and ad-blocking. The inclusion of WPA3 security and IPv6 support adds peace of mind, making it future-proof. The 2.5Gbps WAN port is a fantastic bonus, allowing me to maximize high-speed connections where available. What really stands out is its compact size—it’s perfect for travel, but powerful enough to use at home. This router is ideal for streaming, working remotely, or just staying securely connected anywhere. I’m super impressed and highly recommend the Beryl AX to anyone looking for a portable yet robust Wi-Fi solution!

I recently took this travel router on a trip, and it truly impressed me. Setting it up was a breeze, especially with the ability to configure it to match my home network’s name, making the connection process seamless wherever I went. The dual-band speeds were great and I never had any issues with connectivity, even in hotel rooms or on public Wi-Fi. One standout feature is the VPN support. I’ve been using WireGuard for some time, and setting it up on this router was incredibly simple. I was able to keep my internet traffic secure without sacrificing speed. One feature I love is the configurable switch on the side that allows me to toggle the VPN on and off with just a quick flick. It’s incredibly convenient when I want to switch between secure browsing and regular internet use. Security is another strong point the ability to block non-VPN traffic. Plus, the open-source firmware lets me customize settings to my exact needs, which I still haven't used but love to know it's there. All in all, this router is incredibly versatile, easy to set up, and perfect for anyone needing fast, secure internet on the go. Whether you’re traveling or working from different locations, this router offers peace of mind and performance. Highly recommended!

I bought this to extend the range of my ISP-supplied modem/wireless router, and to act as a wired repeater for one of my ethernet-only devices. Oh my, I did not anticipate falling in love! This is what a router should be. Compact, good price, and open firmware! It is easy to configure, although I did run into some hurdles with trying to connect it to my main router wirelessly - luckily with the combination of log files and ChatGPT I was able to figure out what the issue was! So far it is rock-stable, and easy to configure otherwise, whether you need it for VPN, TOR, or any other solution you can cook up! This satisfies my dream of a device being well-supported, easily and fully customizable, high quality and being stable, without needing to go down into the weeds too much, but actually letting you to do that if you're so inclined. The small size makes this an especially good contender for portability, as if I needed it on the go, I could easily chuck this in my backpack or even pocket it!

Bardzo pozytywnie mnie zaskoczył. Super oprogramowanie w urządzeniu. Mnie najbardziej zależało na VPN - jest elastyczne w konfiguracji.

I was able to install openwrt with passwall and singbox with help of LLMs. It works for now.

I'm not someone who usually leaves reviews, but I felt it was worth commenting on this particular item – the wireless travel router. I haven’t explored many of the advanced features (like VPN or file sharing), but for my needs, this device has been near perfect. I’ve been travelling between hotels and Airbnbs lately, and I use it as a bridge for the internet provided at each place. The big win for me is being able to set my WiFi name and password to match what I use at home, so all my devices connect automatically without needing to reconfigure them at every stop. Whether it’s my laptop, iPad, or phone, everything just works the moment I arrive and plug it in. It handles hotel login portals easily, whether it’s through a username and password or a web-based login. It also works fine with cabled internet connections. The signal range is much better than I expected for such a compact device. It’s whisper quiet, uses minimal power, and the user interface is simple and straightforward. It makes hopping from one accommodation to another much less painful from a tech setup perspective. If I had one minor complaint, it's that I can't find an option to view the total data usage across all connected devices. You can see individual device usage, which is helpful, but I’d love to be able to reset and track total data used per location – especially when dealing with limited WiFi quotas in Airbnbs or hotels. That aside, I’d highly recommend this device for anyone who travels regularly with multiple devices. It’s affordable, efficient, and genuinely makes life on the road a lot easier.

Altijd een beetje sceptisch geweest over travel routers, maar achteraf is het typisch zo'n "dat had ik veel eerder moeten doen"-aankoop. In de afgelopen vakantie in meerdere situaties gebruikt: 1. Via ethernet in een modern Landal huisje -> bijna 2x zo snel als het Landal access point en een duidelijk groter bereik. 2. Als repeater naar een super slecht netwerk van een hotel met gastlogin pagina. Voor mijn laptop was het signaal te zwak om uberhaupt verbinding te kunnen maken, maar de Beryl wist in een hoekje van de kamer toch nog een signaaltje op te pikken met als resultaat uiteindelijk toch nog een prima bruikbare internetverbinding in het hele appartement van een paar Mb/s voor het hele gezin. 3. Via tethering met m'n iPhone, aan een powerbank op een plek waar helemaal geen Wifi was. De power user kan nog met de out of the box beschikbare OpenWRT Luci GUI vanalles instellen, maar de standaard GUI/app zal in 9/10 gevallen alles doen wat je nodig hebt. De automatische failover tussen tethering/wifi/ethernet werkt ook prima en vrijwel onmerkbaar voor de gebruikers. Eenmaal ingesteld werkt hij stabiel en is het "plug en play". Hij is energiezuinig ook, je haalt zeker wel een dag op een beetje powerbank, als het niet meer is. Kortom, een prima en veelzijdig apparaatje. Het enige wat ik nog handig had gevonden, was een extra ethernetpoort. Deze gaat de volgende vakantie als eerste in de koffer!
