Slate 7 Pro (GL-BE10000)

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...

I set up a wire guard VPN on my gli.net router in under 5 minutes and it works great

Gli.Net are great units

I have one of these as well, but then have two unifi aliens setup in bridge mode for my actual wifi coverage. Best of both worlds.

If your apartment is not huge, a Gli.net brand router is what you’re looking for. Prices are decent, various speed options and vpn on board. I use one as a travel router for hotels

Ehh. I guess, but it took me less than 10 minutes to setup Wireguard server on my Cloud Max gateway, and then pass the credentials over to my gli.net. I have no doubt that the ubiquity travel router is easier to setup, but we’re talking about shaving off a few minutes compared to gli.net

Exactly. Don't waste money on these shitty consumer routers. The only decent ones are from gl.inet that come with openwrt. If you need more, look into opnsense on something like qotom or other minipc, mikrotik, ubiquity and separate access points.

Poor performance, very poor routing performance. And overpriced.
