Jabber Tech I’m back at home and my internet is really bad and I’m trying to play my PS4 so if I buy this could I use this as a hotspot to connect to my PS4 and play???
Yes you could
I want to buy it from will you please help me with the configurations?
Please let me know if you can help me set it up
You'll have to watch the video for setup ..if that's not enough,search the FAQs for your vpn configuration for additional help .good luck
Thank you so much. So many people posting dumb videos and not showing exactly how to connect the router and get it working. But you have done a great job. Once again, thank you!
Great travel router. Just picked one up. Can't beat it for $20.
Brilliant review - very clear. Thanks!
Appreciate it 😀
My mini must be the first version cause it only has one ethernet port I did this set up years ago but have since forgotten how to set it up. Thanks so much for the video!
I usually dont comment. excellent video and great presentation .
Appreciate it!
Thanks a lot, great video. I tried to configure my VPN by installing DD-WRT on a spare router, and that was a little over my head and I bricked the thing. I'll definitely be picking one of these up.
For sure. DD-WRT can be a bit confusing. This mini router s great. or if you have an Asus router, the merlin software is bad ass!
Cheers and thank you. Subscribed.
Awesome! Thanks 😃
Jabber Tech thanks. You didn't mention the switch settings on the box (that can be configured on the router homepage) "no function" "wired bridge (router/bridge), repeater/bridge (WISP/Bridge), Open VPN (on/off). It would be nice to know what to set (if necessary) for this button for 1) connecting to hotel ethernet on the road or 2) connecting to hotel wireless on the road. also, captive portal hotel pages often require DHCP>DNS settings> UN-check DNS binding or it won't come up. I've gotten this to connect by random clicking but would love it if it were explained in the notes and comments of this well-cited video
Does it create its own Wi-Fi network just asking just in case of a power outage.
What is difference between Repeater,Bridge and Gateway mode setup of a router?
From a wire internet connection to Wifi,which mode is best?
Does the firewall switch button work as kill switch if there's a VPN install in the router?
Great video. Have you checked for malware built in to the device for siphoning off your sensitive data and sending it to somewhere you hadn't bargained for ?
Is this a stealth VPN or standard and do you have to pay for a monthly subscription fee
love it great for hotels
Is it possible to use a cell phone USB tethering to an old laptop for updates using GL.iNet GL-MT300N Mini VPN Router?
I do not have an internet at home .
will i be able to use this with a ps portal connected to hotel wifi?
@Jabber tech do you have you pay for the wifi
I would like to use it as VPN server to access the network where it sits in via wireguard app from the smartphone. Is that possible or it will work just as vpn client to connect to a vpn server?
Can you add an external antenna?
Mine did not have an adapter! I do not have the manual. My boss just sent the router to me but there is no manual or adapter. Can we directly connect it to power? what kind of adapter do I need in that case? You connected it to a powerbank.
So if connect the Mini router to my Hub via ethernet cable and the connect the mini router to my ps5 via ethernet cable, will my ps5 be able to connect to different servers around the world using Surshark?
Does it have its own Hotspot you can connect to???
can this connect with your phone's internet using Proxy and then repeat actual internet and not the actual internet where I have to set up proxy with each device?
So will this hide your location when working remotely in another country? Say you are in spain and want to show you are working from uk.
When u share. Can u connect on ipad, androids?
Hi,
I've been researching around and wanted to know what would be the best option to go about with regards to public WiFi with captive portals. I'm a student and would like to create my own network with SSID/PWD for my smart devices and the Chromecast. I can settle for a more powerful router as it's not essential for travelling.
You could try this one. A bit more powerful and faster
ua-cam.com/video/WCvSBQ5MS30/v-deo.html
That's not 6 MegaBYTE as you said. the speedtest is showing 6 MegaBITS. the conversion is 1:8. So your router is slowing down your speed to less than 1 MegaBYTE per second.
Hi Jab, I'm currently living outside US and would like to know what router (buying at Amazon) do you recommend, since I have a Nord VPN subscription but the company's router doesn't allow me to add my VPN service. I know this might be a good option but Idk if would help just by use Netflix, Hulu, Prime, etc etc. and surfing thru pages.
Thank you in advance.
This is just a travel router and should not be used as a primary router, it just isn't fast enough for multiple users streaming flix. If you're just streaming one movie at a time it would be fine tho. I would look into an asus router that can be converted into a Merlin router. I did some videos on that as well, if you search my channel.
Can you be a wifi repeater and take the signal from the ethernet cable? That's what i currently do with my 2nd router.
This router is old AF right now..wouldn't recommend it unless on a budget
Hello Jabber I could really use your help in this option setting up the vpn on this device I will be traveling and working i don’t want my company to know I’m out of the country please help
Hey! Nice video! Are the lan and wan ports Gigabit?
Probably not but from 5 years ago, no idea! Best bet is to click on the product link and check the specs
Hey thx for the video. I get to the point of the "repeater" menu option, but after selecting the correct SSID (no password needed) and the UPDATE, it comes up with a message (in red) at the bottom of page "cannot update WAN" .........
I've tried this with two different primary networks, same error , I looked at all you other inputs on the GL set-up, all mine seem the same, but I can'y connect to an 'outside' network on the GL ? Please any help would be awesome., Thanks
No idea, I've moved on to the newer model ua-cam.com/video/9VaePPyw7pE/v-deo.html
can you use without laptop?
I travel a lot I ordered that one to use it with Open VPN, it's replacing my TP-Link pocket router.
OpenVPN makes a world of difference
Best of all that it's OpenWRT, and there are several versions you can flash to it. The downside is the dismal VPN speeds. I've read that the AR150 which is based on the Atheros/Qualcomm processor is much faster. By the way all their MTxxxx series are based on lame MTK chips.
How much do you pay monthly with the open VPN service?
danjely emilio vargas almanzar free with OpenVPN
can you help me to connect a server on a gl router like to made a server to usa but i'm living in france how you can help me with that ?
I travel a ton and use ExpressVPN to access broadcast content through my U.S. provider on my notebook. I also use the software VPN to protect my data when traveling in hotels. But I have a Roku stick and would love to use it on televisions in hotel rooms. The issue is that it will connect to wifi but my US cable provider will block content because I am out of the country. I need a VPN route with OpenVpn to resolve this, but I need hardware to be a convenience, lightweight and easy. I really don't understand the details of your video and how to upload ExpressVPN to the GL.iNet. Any chance you can do a video which goes step by step to help me from start to finish and then I can travel easily thereafter?
Sorry but I have never used expressvpn. With torguard you just download the config file and upload it to the router... Simple as that. I'd imagine that expressvpn, or any paid vpn, should work the same way.
If I set this to bridge mode and plug in a 1tb usb thumb... could I then access and transfer files to that usb drive?
This is too slow in 2024. Get their updated beryl
How do you connect this to a xbox one
@jabbertech can I add your own VPN service I already have. I use 24vc for VPN service can I add my files or details to this mini router or is only for subscriptions from tor guard or openvpn?
U can use any vpn! I use my own server too
Jabber I have a question. I just ordered one of these. I need something that will give me my own private Network to protect myself from hackers, but not a VPN. The specific thing that I'm trying to accomplish is to be able to use online gaming sites while traveling, while having a secure connection. I can't simply use a VPN for that because gaming sites can detect it and it's not allowed. Do you think this device will work out for me? Thanks
Should.be ok
Can this be upgraded to the new admin panel UI that has more options like wireguard, etc?
No
How to configure a proxy in this device !?
Can you plug the cable that comes directly from your ISP straight into it? What I mean by this is if it does have a modem integrated or not? Have a nice day :)
This is not a modem
Hello can I use this to connect my Blink Camera that has poor WiFi connection,all my other Gadgets are sound. Thank you 👍
Yes
Could you use it as a stand alone wifi router so I can hook it up to my pc with a ethernet cord
U could but not the purpose of this
Can I use this where ever I go like let’s say I’m riding in a car am I able to set its own network up not connect it to other WiFi’s for internet?
+Doge's Meme Factory as long as you setup a hotspot first or connect a 4g USB modem to it... Why not?!
@Jabber Tech how much do does the service cost monthly for Open VPN?
Check torguard.net then use code JabberTech for your final discount price
Can you use this mini router to make a printer wireless that is not wireless.
Yes
Does this have a captive portal or some sort? I really want a portable router with a captive portal
You should probably check out a newer version that has a lot more power and options than this. Here is the newest one ua-cam.com/video/9VaePPyw7pE/v-deo.html
Hey Jabber this video was useful, even better than instructions. But you don’t explain how to connect an HDD, I’m really interested of that use, that’s why I owned this device.
Appreciate it ‼️
I don't explain it because just plug it in to the USB port 😃
@@TheJabberTech thanks, but I did it and it doesn't work. I don't know if I need a special authorization from Windows
BTW: If there is a better router with VPN and availble to upload ExpressVPN out on market now that you have tested which is small, solid and has better wifi transmission, I would be interested.
torguard is an extremely good VPN as is proxy.sh too. I prefer TG because it has all the options I need.
Would you recommend Torguard Over Mullvad?
Toguard since I've been using it for years without issue
I am not able to access 192.168.8.1 at all. Can someone PLEASE help me? Idk how to fix this. I am not a tech savvy person.
Didn’t really cover hoping it up to Ethernet or other connectors and ports.
Can I connect this device to a computer that is not personal but a company that lent it to me just for work? Would the vpn work on it?
Why buy an old and slow device .
Try this Travel VPN router
ua-cam.com/video/WhtVRRtLTG4/v-deo.html
what is the difference between this and the black version? (black cost double)
The black version expects you to pay reparations for slavery. lol
Is this a good option if I live near a public library and don't want to pay for internet or are there other options?
Sure
do this gl inet can shared printer using wifi?
Yes it can if your printer is wifi
You lost me at the VPN software. Do you have to buy a VPN software from PIA or Torguard to use your router?
Yes of course
Do you have to do the setup once or go over it every time you change the network?
After using it for one month how was your experience?
+rayan saloom once you set it up it's done. Of course if you are using it as a repeater at a coffee shop, you'll have to connect to different wifi each time but the setup of the vpn settings is only done once. This and torguard are awesome!
Can you set this up with a phone and then connect with a laptop onto the router ??
Yes
Is there any device like this but with external antennas?
ua-cam.com/video/9VaePPyw7pE/v-deo.html
Great Video. but I cannot find a video showing how a mini router/repeater would work with, specifically, unsecured free hotel wifi service, without an ethernet connection. I do not care about speed, I need a secure connection. I think you show how your mini router can connect to your existing service, vs the WISP connection.
Thanks for the feedback. However it would be the exact same procedure to connect t to an unsecured wifi hotspot as I did connecting to my home wifi network (I didn't connect to my ethernet connection at first, I connected to welcomeGuest which is my wifi) . Basically select the network and connect, but instead of a password you'd leave it blank. Hope that helps u!
Would this work with a public portal page
yes
Hi
I just got this router.
I'm on vacation and I wanted to be safe surfing using hotel's wifi.
Do I REALLY need a separate VPN to be safe? Or is it just extra security using one?
It's just extra security and more for bypassing geo restrictions
@@TheJabberTech
Thanks for the reply.
I will install the VPN when I get back. I just want to know that my email and subscription website passwords and data will be relatively safe?
I won't be accessing streaming content on this trip.
By the way, do you think this device will work well on Amtrak? They have wifi, but it's weak and it drops out a lot(probably because the train is moving).
Again, thanks for your help.
If the wifi drops a lot,it'll just have to reconnect all the time. I did a fast train from lisbon to Porto and it worked great using their wifi, dropped only once. But I was using the slate router and not this one
How many laptops can we add on the Wi-Fi hotspot?
How many you got 🤔
I have the same mini router router (v2) configured with VyprVPN and I can stream Full HD Live TV through the mini router.
I don't loose any speeds, I connect via an ethernet cable from mini router to IPTV device.
Great video :)
+Skybox FAQ yeah connected via the ethernet cable is optimal with great speeds but most people will use this as a repeater when away. But a good way to connect to a fire TV, or android TV box and have it route through your VPN. Thanks for the thumbs up on my video, appreciate the feedback!
I would say the majority of users here are using for US netflix library (3x the content), as opposed to travellers wanting internet security. Very niche user base.
+UnlistedContent I'd say lots of us use it for torrents and kodi these days. Netflix isn't as exciting anymore really. But I use my vpn for security when on open networks. But that's just me.
If you want to mention what settings and physical ports to connect to it would be useful to us outer road warriors.
It's funny because I also switch to TorGuard from PIA
Ha ! I went the reverse way. Torguard is great
@Jabber Tech or anyone that can answer my question can i put my open vpn file plug my 4g dongle to the router and share my vpn connection ? to someone
Yes you can!
Jabber Tech wow tnx a lot.for the answer u saved me money this router is pure gold then you earned a sub
By the way my dongle is huwai e8372 i read in the routers forum it was not possible to upload your own openvpn config but it was 9 months ago did they fix it ?
Any time man!
In the repeater settings there’s only one option to insert a PW/Key. However the network i’m using asks for both username and password as an authentication method How do I get around this when there’s only one field to enter a PW?
I believe it will not work as a repeater for that type of network.
If what you mean is a captive portal, I use a device to enter the P.S./username for that page. Either that or I log in with a device (i.e. the phone) , then "clone Mac address" on the router and access it with all my devices through the router that will now appear as my original device (i.e. the phone)
I must be stupid or something but I don't get one thing. What's the status of the mini router during the initial setup? Is it connected to your WiFi or router at all? How can it download an update if you haven't configured the connection yet? Thanks for the video!
It's connected to my wifi for initial setup!
Jabber Tech dumb me haha. Thanks a lot. I've ordered this and my goal will be to connect it to my router. Ideally I'd like to do it via Ethernet. How should I do it? Cable from one of my LAN ports to the LAN port on this one? Should I use the WAN port instead? I've been looking for info about this but I can't find any specific answer. Thanks a lot again!
Lan from your router to wan on the mini

Yes, but the big question remains. If you have a VpN router, do you even need a VPN service?
Lol, yes you do.. How else would you get the vpn service 🤔 hahahaha, the router doesn't provide free VPN. It's used with your von service... Nothing good is free!
If i travel to greece and dont want my employer to know im in greece can i use this to connect to Uk wifi from Greece??
Don't think the WiFi signal from the UK would reach Greece but you could connect to a UK VPN
@@TheJabberTech so i connect router to UK vpn and then the router will be like I'm in UK not in Greece...
That's the point , yes
Can it be in repeater mode and still use the VPN?
Yes
How much do you pay per month
hey man, when I connect to this wifi it tells me "connected-no internet available" and don't ask me password
Sounds like your von isn't connected
The amount of people thinking they can get free wifi off of this is hysterical. They don't realize what this exactly is and they think its a free hotspot lol.
Well, nothing is free! Maybe if u iu connected it to an already free hotspot, then it would be free.. Right?! Lol
They can get free WiFi off of this after you purchase it. Just turn on the wifi. You mean free internet.
I want to setup a sign some place that says "Free WiFi" and offer not internet connection.
As they say "There's a sucker born every minute!" xD
It's possible to set up a VPN with an Open VPN like Nord VPN?
Yes I use openvpn all the time on my phones
yes it is
will softether work with this router?

Hello
You just blew right by the main point of me watching the video
How did you get the router connected to the internet ?
Plug in the Wan cable or connect to wifi. Pretty simple.
I'm trying to connect to a Hotspot on my phone
That would be wifi my friend
My Hotspot only allows one device connected at a time
do you have to pay any provider to use this device?
+Nikooo only if u want to use it as a vpn. Otherwise no
wait vpn means a hotspot?
+Nikooo nope.
ok, well my parents think you have to pay per month for the wifi to work :/
+Nikooo nothing is free my friend! 😁
Hi
This router have Wireguard?
Yes it does
@@TheJabberTech can you please, explain how?
You can watch this video, I've gone over it there
ua-cam.com/video/mj4dqKaxsXQ/v-deo.html
why the hell does it drain the bandwidth to 6mbps on a 100 meg connection. that is 100% not right. i have another box with a vpn inbuilt and it only halfs it to only 50 mbps.
mike dundee 100mb download but how much in upload ?
Weird you show vpn stuff already done. But you don't show step step how you uploaded he vpn setting. Seeing "upload failed"
Suspicious 🧐
I'm still struggling with connection, I tried support but there not interested went offline for hours then said Sorry for l8 reply.
That sucks!
Whenever I connect to OpenVPN through this it doesn’t let me have Wi-Fi
Not possible. Check your settings
Jabber Tech it is possible cause that’s what happened lol
Jabber Tech like the Wi-Fi on the mini hub turns off
LOL, well I mean I guess it's possible but it shouldn't be possible. haha
Try a factory reset, sounds like some setting got messed up
Hi thank you can you sign in using your mobile phone thank you
Yes
Will VPN slow down your speed ?
When connected to a VPN, you'll lose a little speed.
Is this MisMag822's side channel?
How did you get the router with all this TorGuard stuff included? lol
Easy bruh
@@TheJabberTech That was actually a serious question
The video shows you how to get everything on there
@@TheJabberTech Ok, sorry. So I assume that TorGuard stuff only comes with the US amazon version of the router
No. The router has nothing to do with it. U download your torguard files and upload them to the router.
You're wrong to start with, VPN is only 1 use for this, I'm just using it as a localised WiFi network cause I'm too far from the WiFi router in this building but have Ethernet.
I'm not wrong that my use for it and your use is different. Not a matter of right or wrong,just how you use it 😁
Sorry, how do you put your username and password for your vpn account?
In VPN settings
will nordvpn work with this router?
Yes
I understand that you have to skimp on these products but, Mango is a useless support.
Bandwith ratio 1/10 on initial band.
Why you cut video and didn't show OVPN configuratuions files???
Because those are my specific files. You need your own

Check your VPN service, they give it to u

Bootleg service lol
All I wanna know is if this acts like data form a phone
Hmmm,good question. It acts like data from wifi 🤔
You skipped the router login... The most important part and the reason I'm watching the video.

You can't have my login info bruh
Hmmmm, I found VPN performance via Nord really sucked. Less than 5Mb per sec.
