Thanks a lot for the review!
Nice review, thanks for sharing~
Great review, I wasnt sure if I should get Beryl or Slate, looks like the Slate is the one for me!
Appreciate it
I actually have two of these as i have two ISP connections running two ASUS routers. One isp handles all of my wired connections and the other isp connection handles all of my wifi connections. Used these Glinet routers in repeater mode and repeated each isp connection to the ASUS routers running dual wan failover. That way if the primary connection of the router handling the wired clients goes down it automatically kicks over to the router handling the wireless clients and vice versa. That way unless both isp carriers go down during the sane time frame (highly unlikely) each router always has a back up connection until the primary connection is restored. Would be nice if the isp connections were closer together to directly connect to both routers but this was a great backup solution using the inet routers. The failover speeds are around 300 mbps for both isp connections so these Inet routers are very fast.
Excellent review! I plan on using this on an upcoming cruise to rebroadcast the ship's wifi to multiple devices without having to buy a plan for each device.
This is the way!!!
@@TheJabberTech Does it work with game consoles
So I just bought one for a cruise. I am allowed 300 minutes of wifi in our package (expandable). When do those minutes start being used? As soon as you plug in the powered up router (and if you forget to detach while your gone, so too are your minutes?), or only when data is flowing from a device such as a laptop? Thanks, J-
Hey Jabber. I am wanting to travel with my work laptop, and be able to use my home's IP address while I am away so it looks like I am back at my house in the states. I have been advised to purchase 2 gl.iNet beryl servers and set one of them at my house as an openVpn/ Wireguard server, and take the other one with me as a client vpn. I am going to set up port forwarding on my main home router for the server side, but I am confused on how to set up the travel router that I take with me as the client. I will need to configure the second router as a client on the wire guard server, correct? Also, will I need to plug the travel router into my airbnb's main router for it to work? Or would I be able to get the travel router to work by just plugging it into an outlet or my computer and connecting it to the wifi? Thanks! Let me know if you need more information.
I have one hardware unit that needs wpa2 does it support that still?
got one 3 months ago. Use it in hotels worked great. Did both wifi and wired connection and work great. Have no problem with login into my banking in hotels and public places.
Hey looking to purchase this. Do I need a vpn subscription? Is there any monthly charges?
@@Lynch_Odhran I have a paid VPN. Would a free VPN work, I'm not sure. After the last new update on the router I'm now having problems with connecting my VPN. But when you do hook up to WIFI's it is a secure connecting still.
How do you get bypass the hotel portal where there is a screen for user name and password
@@jazzh9996 i just enter it again hit connect.
i have important questions about this and hope you can answer. so i’m looking for a portable router device so i can do work off a laptop from my job since i have night shift and want to be productive. i don’t have the wifi password here but there’s a lan cable under my table. if i plug the lan cable into the portable router do i need the password? and the employer blocks some websites from being used, does the vpn function on this stop them from being able to block sites. and can they see what websites i access? my biggest concern is if i’ll even be able to access the internet at all.
is there a DNS leak with this VPN setup? had issues with that and openWRT previously
Will the router become very hot when Traffic or VPN run for a longer time? I heard this from other UA-cam tests. And will you hear the fan in it?
Do you know the updated website? It’s not allowing me to use it after updating Wi-Fi
I can use this on my mobile phone yes? Via tethering? Or any other way like inserting my sim? Thanks
Can I connect this to my phone as the internet for it? With just my regular cell phone SIM card in it?
Hello from Canada! I actually bought thia router last month and I've tested it out as a repeater at home.
The results are very good! It's definitely an excellent companion if I were to go to stay at a hotel and need a secure connection
Sadly, some hotels are no longer offering a hard-wired connection inside their rooms thesedays (as they only offer Wi-Fi-only). My take away advice: ask the hotel that you're staying if they offer a hard-wired connection port or something like that (I.e. Ethernet Jack in the hotel room -> router -> your devices).
Airbnb's have them more often. Question: can't your boss see that you have a VPN IP? Can you make it look like you're working from your actual home IP?
It's possible to connect the Slate AX to hotel wifi that requires some sort of login which is also known as a Captive Portal. GL-iNet has documentation in the docs area of their web site for the Slate AX that explains how to set it up to work when you are at a hotel, etc. where a captive portal is in use. So it doesn't require a hard-wired connection. It can connect to the hotel wifi by following the docs on how to get it to work with a captive portal login. There are a couple different options that can be used to get it to work in this situation. If you search Google for "GL-iNet Slate AX captive portal" you'll find the docs that provide the directions.
Use Mac clone option, connect an ipad to the hotel and grab the ipad mac address and work with it
I would have loved to see how this device handles captive portals, like at hotels or caffes.
Might do a short on that
wow great video , in your video you said you can use your phone charger or a power bank
which power bank would you recommend?
appreciate it. any battery pack with usb 3.0 PD will work great. higher capacity means more router usage
Do you need to pay for wireguard vpn service or just easy & simple setup straight from the box?
Mind if I ask a stupid question? When you install plugin's on this unit, how do you access them? I don't see any new menu items or a terminal within to make use of them. Seems to be a mystery.
I know for filesgaring you have certain admin access. However I feel like there should be command line access. Good question
I go to a Timeshare that has WiFi. You bring up a webpage and enter a code now you have WiFi on that device. How would I use a travel router for that type of a situation?
You said, "As someone who definitely doesn't want to pay for anything when he goes to a hotel." Does the router somehow help you to avoid paying for certain hotel wifi or something?
How do you access Hotel WiFi if Captive login is required
Can this device be connected straight to a public proxy server?
How is this with Voip. I heard NAT is ass with voip. I do remote work with clients so we call over wifi. Please let me know if this will work
Awesome video. What is the best vpn service or what vpn features should I use, so it can’t be detected that I am using a vpn. Detected by security softwares such as crowdstrike falcon or by the naked eye by looking at the IP address ( from the vpn ). Thanks.
Appreciate it! Mentioned in the video
What is the connection strengh/range on this. Since its so small i could use it for controling hardware from phones or tablets without having to cary around bulky routers.
My curent cheap/old router is good for about 50ft in a normal crouded enviorment. And about 80ft with a straight line of sight with no trafic on 2.4ghz.
travel routers are not meant/designed for max range
I’ve used the smaller basic N router with external antenna - £30. The connection strength was great - much better than my Asus router or any extender. I got good signal through a thick stone wall when nothing else would. 80ft or so line of sight was 100%. I’d expect the upgraded version to be as good.
would you upgrade/is it worth the upgrade to the beryl or slate ax if you already have the slate?
100% yes
Does it need to be wired in to an internet source? A lot of hotels/Airbnbs are going WiFi only and ditching ethernet cables/ports. I stayed at the Cosmopolitan in Vegas a few months ago and almost all of their ethernet wall ports are covered up or intentionally caved in by maintenance.
Works in repeater mode as shown in video
@@TheJabberTech I appreciate that.
Is this a load balancing or bonding router? I'd like to use Ethernet and my phone's hotspot for a more stable connection to Livestream baseball games.
Yes. Check out my review of the new beryl ax3000. They added multi-wan settings for both slate and beryl AX
ua-cam.com/video/TyLXqwn2e5o/v-deo.html
Is this as fast as the flint for home use? I'm debating between this and the flint ,mainly for home use. If this is just as fast, it might be worth the extra $30 for the occasional travel or coffee shop.
This is a travel router and not as powerful as the Flint which is designed for home use. If you have only a few devices and dont need the range of a powerful home router, this will be fine...like for a dorm room or studio apt
Hello, so this is an upgrade to their travel router. Since I travel quite a lot out of US will it work? or do I need to get Breyl. Thanks

I could never get the sd card to share
@Jabber Tech Can you choose which devices specifically get routed through your VPN connection and which don't? Or once you connect to VPN every device has to go through the VPN??
You can select devices to use VPN or not. Pretty sure that was in the video 😉
@@TheJabberTech 🙏 thanks
Is there a VPN kill switch to disable external traffic in case the VPN connection goes down?
yes
I work remotely and I'm required to be ethernet ( hard wired) in to my work PC. Will this allow me to be hard wired thru my wifi?
Yes
I have a question ? I stay at a hotel and sometimes the signal gets weak. Does this device help with a weak signal? Like can it get the weak signal and improve the signal to my laptop ?
On Amazon it says this Slate AX is a extender/repeater
Is the new Beryl AX better than this Slate AX ? I seen some differences in specs. I'm just looking to get what is best. Thank You
yes it's also an extender
Hey I have a question so is there anyway I can host my own hotspot for it. Im trying to make it entirely portable where I can move with it and it only has to be plugged into a portable battery.
Like I dont want an extender if you get what I'm saying?
As long as your phone has a good connection and transfer rate that could be your source of internet. Your phone already has better cellular band support than the best celular routers.
Stepped to linking router to hotel Wi-Fi. Router shows the linked connection. When I connect my phone to the router I get a no internet service error? Ideas?
Also, was attempting to connect a WYZE camera and the interface for linking says cannot find the internet connection name. (I placed the GL name and password correctly).
Thank you.
Vpn kill switch might be on
would love to see you connect while being at an actual hotel. for the life of me it works flawlessy at home and on friends networks but when i go to a hotel it does not pop up with the password prompt that shows n your video.. im using the AC1200 which was promoted as.being able to use on the road.. great stuff thanks
Would love to go on vacation again 😂😆😂
This is a fairly-well-known artifact of having the "DNS Rebinding Attack Protection" setting turned ON. [The setting is under "More Settings" -> "Custom DNS Server" -> ] If you don't see the hotel's 'Captive Portal' sign-in screen, you must DISABLE that setting (temporarily), and refresh your WiFi connection, so that you can complete the sign-in procedure. (Then, I recommend that you RE-enable that setting!) Bottom Line: That rebinding protection prevents the hotel's DNS server from re-directing your web request to the hotel's Captive Portal page. Give it a try.
6:09 - What was that?😂
What does this have vs the older beryl?
Faster
Thank you very much! I'm still having issues. I've connected my router to ethernet with my home wifi unit. When I try to use the wireless "internet option" within the online admin panel it won't connect even though I know the password is correct. I guess I can't have the option to use both unless I probably disconnect the ethernet cable? I don't know what to do :( EDIT: I got it working....it was my password 😇
Will this offer more security than connecting to public unsecured wifi like airlines and hotels and using a VPN software like Norton turned on on your devices?
in theory, yes
What's the easiest vpn provider to set up wireguard with directly in the gui?
Not in the GUI but I have been using Torguard Wireguard for years and never disappoints

Thanks for the review. May I ask what is the power input requirement to run this new Slate AX?
Runs off a power bank..so not much
8.9 watts I believe
Simultaneous connections aren't allowed on work laptop is the message I see
Hi, i use ExpressVPN on my MAC, but interested in this product GL-iNet Slate AX. Can I configure this to my ExpressVPN as a Client.. because I am already subscriber and need access to UK and NZ
why would it not? Check the video where I show the client section and see if that's what you need
Can you connect this to your pc and then via phone turn on and share internet from phone, and then connect with this router you will be able to enter and setup all these cool features? Or you need to connect to the wifi directly?
Tethering your smartphone's data to your router, yes it works with Slate AX~
is it possible to connect to a wifi with a captive portal? eg. open hotel wifi but you need to login via web portal
Yes
Does the router have to be setup before you leave the US?
No
My employer lets me work from anywhere but says my ip will be blocked since it's outside Canada. For someone who works in a call center, what do you recommend?

My job currently requires certain programs to be accessed via a company VPN. Will this device allow me to connect to my company VPN?
If they provide credentials then short answer’s yes
Sounds good! I just placed my order for this router. I was having an issue running NORD VPN to access the company VPN. It make the attempt to connect but then kick me off NORD. I'm assuming the router fixes this issue since it mirrors a wifi connection as if you were in the USA. So in theory once I try to connect to the company VPN with this router, it should connect automatically. I'm assuming the issue with NORD is that you can't run two VPN's at the same time from one device. I'm assuming @@TheJabberTech
Good luck
If I connect a GL.Inet router (Opal) to the modem of my Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the United States and I have another GL.Inet router (AX Slate) in the Dominican Republic, could I establish a connection between both GL.Inet routers and connect to my ISP network in the United States without using a VPN connection ???
One as a server and one as a client would do the trick...using a static IP address would be best but it'll work with dynamic IPs as well
@@TheJabberTech hey by any chance do you work for hire , I have the exact scenario, my company has a private VPN I have to log in through by phone and with express vpn it logs me out, how can I do this
Bro how did this work out. I want to do the same thing but I don't understand it.
What was your Speedtest result on wireguard ? I think I missed it 😂😅
Watch again...it's there
I watched the video twice and still do not see wireguard results. did it get lost in editing? I saw you first did your home speed, then you said you would do wireguard and openvpn but after that you did slate ax in repeater mode then you did openvpn. @@TheJabberTech
Literally go to speedtest section 👀
I am not sure if you mean the speed test with 240 magabit. The wording is confusing. you were testing your home internet speed then you said you would do wireguard first then openvpn then you said we take"

a look at our speeds and do one more as

we talk about it 225 megabits down so it

is usual to lose a little bit when you

when you use a device in repeater mode" it makes it seem like this speedtest is router in repeater mode only to benchmark against it. text on screen with title and result or a table would help@@TheJabberTech
Does anyone know if using this VPN router will impact my ability to log into my work Windows Virtual Desktop?
Did u find an answer? I’ve been hesitant because I’ve seen mixed reviews on this
My unit was working just fine and all of a suddent it lost the VPN Client access. I've tried everything. reset, everything and it just doesn't work anymore after only 3 weeks :(
Good thing there's warranty
*if I wanted to power this through a power bank what would be a good (mah) voltage: 20,00mah; 18,000mah?*
That’s not voltage. That’s capacity. Larger capacity = longer usuage
@@TheJabberTech
*on the back of my power brick it says the following:*
Input: DC 15V 2A
Output: DC 12V 10A
Capacity: 88.8Wh
USB Output: DC 5V 2.1A 5V 3A 9V 2A
AC Output: AC 120V 60Hz 65W
*would this be sufficient power for this pocket router, in your expertise?*
*thank you for your help!*
You need to check the power rating for the router and compare. Usually USB 3 will power it up
@@TheJabberTech
*I checked and it’s way more than enough to power it!*
*I went with the TP-Link and I put in an order for this one in your video!*
*I want to have at least (3) of these routers!*
what vpn do you recommend us to buy that works internationally anywhere? since nord vpn is being blocked or other vpn
I have a list in my description. Never heard of Nord being blocked, they are a good VPN. Or torguard BC if wireguard support
Does anyone know if this connects to Xbox?
Dude I need help. I can’t access GL AX admin panel on my windows laptop. There’s internet access so it works just can’t access the admin panel. I can access the admin on my phone and on my other computer. Any idea how I can fix this?
connect an ethernet cable. that usually fixes this issue..had it once or twice myself
What if my job forces me to use their vpn after connecting to the Wi-Fi, would this still work for them to not see where I’m working from??
If set-up probably it'll still work
Following up on this. Did it work?
Hi
I have some difficulties with configuring this router, can you please provide your support. Can we connect and talk about it
I suggest contacting glinet or your vpn service. Good luck 👍
Can I connect to my company's VPN while being on the inbuilt VPN?
Only one client can be connected at once
@@TheJabberTech Do you know any way to mask your IP and still connect to a VPN?
use the app from VPN company
Would this work with Global Protect VPN
What dat
How many devices can be added?
70 i believe
do you have to pay for anything if you ONLY want your location different and dont care about the vpn stuff?
You have to pay lol.
@@TheJabberTech thanks! wasn't sure how the vpn stuff works. so to change location you need to be on vpn?
I feel like you'd need to do a little packet sniffing to make the claim that it is a secure device, although privacy and security are two different things and this is likely more secure than using some random Wi-Fi from the coffee shop. It is using open WRT, but with proprietary non open source software.
Does surfshark vpn can be installed in that router?
If they give you credentials then yes
yes
@@estusflask982 thank you so much for replying after 4 Months
I’m interested to understand if you were successful using this outside US ?
Thanks!
*lets say you travel to locations around the world with open Wi-Fi and you visit these same locations*
*Is there a way that it can automatically connect without having to put the credentials in?*
If you’re asking if it saves WiFi passwords…yes it does
@@TheJabberTech
*you answered my question!* 🤓👍🏾
*I’ll be getting at least (3) of these for my birthday!*
@@TheJabberTech
*another question: is the saving of passwords a common denominator for most of these pocket routers?*
Can you bypass capture on public WiFi
You can’t bypass but you can enter credentials
you can only go to the captive portal once and then have wifi for all your devices and your friend's devices
Does this unit have vpn policies to choose how you route client devices? I didn’t see it in the options menu.
Don't remember. Watch the video
I have to make a correction here. This router does not allow you to hide your location from your employer. You can hide your IP to external sites but if you are using a computer provided and administrated by your employer they will at the minimum have logging from your computer but very likely collect more information than that and your computer will accurately show your location because your computer knows what your location is in still because it gets that from your ISP. You will have to mask that also on your computer.
Turn off location on your PC. Done! 😀
Yeah the software from the company can listen mic screen cam close wifi Bluetooth to determine location
So, what do you advise then?
@@Chacha2ouf That is going to depend a lot on what operating system you are running and what software is installed on the computer. One dead giveaway would be that your time zone will be off and I was actually questioned about this in the past as microsoft teams was telling my team I was was in a different time zone. I had an ExpressVPN OpenVPN profile installed on my travel router pointing a city in my time zone before I left but my computer still detected that I was in a different time zone.
IP packets leaving my router also contained my IP address from my ISP which is necessary for the packet to know how to get back to my computer so that will give you away.
I am still not sure how my laptop knew where I was, maybe it collected data from other wifi and bluetooth enabled devices.
@@Chacha2ouf I just looked into it did a test and figured it out. I'm sure this applies for windows computers too but I found out that my MacBook is always scanning other devices around the area and collecting data from them that determines the procise location. By turning off my WiFi and Bluetooth and connecting my router to the VPN and to the MacBook over Ethernet and a dongle my computer stopped finding my procise location and showed instead a broad location where the ip address of the VPN belongs to.
12 months ago 😮
What is the rush for?
You should show step by step how to open the portal, how to configure and how to use. You put too much effort but lack of details and fast speed didn’t help
This isn’t a step by step video. I show how to get started and some of the easy configuration steps don’t need to be explained.
@@TheJabberTechI agree with you. If you are a person that is buying one of these routers, you have to be somewhat tech savvy like knowing how to hit a power button and read a screen 😂
