GL-MT3600BE Beryl 7

I have an R2S and I’m still using it. For a portable Wi-Fi router, I bought a GL.iNet MT3600BE. It has a 2.0 GHz quad-core CPU, and with a USB disk attached, it can run Docker without any issues: https://letitcode.dev/t/69 I also like the R76S, but I don’t have a strong reason to buy it right now

May I introduce you to GL-inet lineup.. if your area is not that big, perhaps a nimble [GL-inet Beryl 7](https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt3600be/?utm_source=websiet&utm_medium=menubar&utm_source=website&utm_medium=menubar) or its bigger brother [GL-inet Slate 7 Pro](https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-be10000/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=menubar) will do the job.. Or probably you will be inclined to look at its bigger sibling, the [GL-inet Flint 3](https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-be9300/) in case you're not familiar what a travel router is, maybe [this video](https://youtu.be/GJs1-aHZgfc) can help. If you will be choosing a travel router, maybe for its lower price, you will be able to bring it also when you travel to other places... i guess the selling point of these routers are its performance, network wide Adblocking ability thanks to its builtin Adguard Home, plus other privacy related features... not in any way related to the brand, but somebody who enjoys its performance thinking others may find it way way better than mainstream brands out there...

Here is what to do: Use a Gl-inet router (gl-inet Beryl is what i use). Connect this via ethernet (wifi is also possible) to the host router. Now setup your own wifi network being careful to not use the same channel as your host. Then if you use a VPN service such as Nord, setup your gl-inet router to connect to a Nord server (this is very easy to do) Now you will have your own wifi network with all traffic routed through the VPN. And you have not messed with your hosts internet system. This is what I do.

GL.inet for family travel (all devices preset to connect to it, with VPN available for selected needs) and UniFi Travel Router for solo use. Quick and easy in both use cases. GL.inet worked fabulously all over Europe for 5 weeks; UniFi would have been perfect as well if it had just been me. Smaller, too.

I have a Beryl and it’s great, would buy again.

Still using my WiFi 5 beryl. Can’t max out the connection at most hotels anyway. But if I ever lose it, the new beryl is shaping up to be my next.

The Glinet Beryl is also powered by USB-C and is also low power. Can be powered by a USB-C battery for hours.

The power consumption's 9W, which gives it better signal than the Unifi one.
