GL.iNet GL-AR300M16-Ext Portable Mini Travel Wireless Pocket Router - WiFi Router/Access Point/Extender/WDS | OpenWrt | 2 x Ethernet Ports | OpenVPN/Wireguard VPN | USB 2.0 Port

This mini router is a game-changer for travelers and remote workers. It's incredibly small—about the size of a matchbox—but packs a punch with OpenWrt firmware, dual Ethernet ports, and support for OpenVPN and WireGuard. Setup is straightforward via the intuitive web interface, and it can run off a USB power bank, making it perfect for on-the-go use. Whether you need to extend Wi-Fi in a hotel, create a secure VPN tunnel, or tether to a mobile hotspot, this device handles it all with ease.

This is a brilliant product, which has exceeded all expectations

Great price and easy to setup

Super compact and can run off USB portable battery.

Handy device if a little bit tricky to configure. I wanted a 2-port ethernet to wifi adapter so I could connect a couple of devices in my office to the wifi network, without having to run a cable from my broadband router to the office. This does the job.

Very good modem, but don't expect very fast speeds, the open VPN works very well. It is fairly stable, but needs occasional reboots.

Fantastic little product for the price. It's immensely tiny, smaller than the palm of your hand but does the trick. As expected it's throughput isn't the best, Ethernet you're capped with 100mb ports, and the wifi is capped at 300Mb, but this is likely more than enough if you're just trying to tether your mobile connection. Wifi range isn't the best, but fine for say an hotel room which I think is the idea of this device.My main criticism is with the way the firmware is done on these devices. I'd read some reviews of this product and they mentioned file sharing across LAN, which is what influenced my purchasing decision as I was interested in something low cost/small for it. Unfortunately it turns out this, among many other of their lower priced routers, had the feature removed so that other features could take its place on the latest firmware versions. They give instructions to bring back the functionality which involves some knowledge of linux command line and/or openwrt, but unfortunately it seems like the packages just aren't on their servers for this device since when I went to install what they listed on their forums, it says some of the packages aren't available. They do offer the older firmware on their website which you can freely downgrade to get the functionality back, but I'd say for most people I wouldn't recommend doing that. You won't have access to recent security patches if you do.They've said in the future they might add it back by default, but well, we'll see. Personally I find it a bit odd that functionality can just be removed by firmware updates.

I use this as a backup if the internet fails. I have it connected to my Deco mesh ethernet port. I connect my phone to the mini router in tethered mode and it keeps my smart home devices running until internet is restored.
