Overview

A frequent traveler connecting in hotels, cruise ships and rentals gets a small, latest generation Wi-Fi router that wraps every device in its own secure network. The GL.iNet unit runs VPN client and server modes and blocks ads with AdGuard Home.

Fast VPN speeds and both wired and wireless links make public networks safer without slowing streaming. The open source firmware rewards tinkering but can overwhelm casual users.

Who it's for

Remote workers, frequent flyers and families on the road get a personal network with VPN built in. Homes wanting multi room coverage should use a mesh system.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fast WireGuard VPN
  • Two 2.5G Ethernet ports
  • International plugs included
  • AdGuard Home ad blocking
Cons
  • Toggle switch needs setup first
  • VPN subscription not included
  • Small range for large homes

Performance notes

VPN speed depends on the router's processor, so hardware support for WireGuard holds encrypted traffic speed up. Real throughput still depends on the hotel or venue connection feeding it.
