Is it for you?

A Wi-Fi 6 (AX1800) OpenWrt travel router from GL.iNet with a Qualcomm IPQ6000 quad-core CPU, three gigabit Ethernet ports, a microSD slot up to 512GB and a USB 3.0 port, aimed at travelers who want VPN protection and file sharing on the road.

Choose it if these matter

Three gigabit Ethernet ports (1 WAN + 2 LAN) in a travel-size body, more wired room than most pocket routers
Maker-quoted WireGuard throughput up to 550Mbps, so VPN overhead barely touches a typical home or hotel line
MicroSD slot up to 512GB plus USB 3.0 storage with SAMBA and WebDAV sharing turns it into a small travel file server
Retractable antennas and a 125 x 82 x 36mm body designed to pack flat in a bag

Skip it if these rule it out

AX1800 class Wi-Fi: the 5GHz band tops out at 1200Mbps theoretical, so heavy multi-device households will feel the ceiling
All Ethernet ports are gigabit only, no 2.5G port unlike the newer Beryl AX
Wi-Fi 6 rather than Wi-Fi 6E or 7, and no tri-band radio

Good for: Home office · Budget · Apartments
