The Raspberry Pi of Networking
I run my own IT business. Since discovering GL.iNet I have absolutely fallen in love with their products. The slate 7 was like falling in love all over againFor starters I really appreciate the rigidity that they added to the antennas, the sleek look is in my opinion a much better upgrade, it looks more futuristic to match the new Wi-Fi 7 technology. And then more importantly, while yes I do buy these products for myself, I also sell them to clients as IT solutions. What really sells me on this specific product is how easy it is for me to hand this to someone with absolutely no tech literacy and with a little bit of guided instruction have them able to control and manage the device. We are putting ad blockers in the hands of everyday people where they can take their privacy with them on the go. VPN solutions so that businesses can have remote business meetings and file sharing out of the office but still together. My personal favorite use of them in my own home (different router models though) I like to use them as Wi-Fi to Ethernet adapters or Wi-Fi extenders. The device is themselves are absolutely phenomenal, easy to use, reasonably priced. This is the raspberry pi of networking.As far as signal strength, I tested The router in a bank (concrete walls, floors, and ceilings) And I was still able to get a signal on multiple floors at varying distances. As far as speed, Your ISP will probably tap out before this thing does. For functionality, the sky’s the limit. I have one client who uses this as a NAS. Speed is reliable consistent. The ethernet ports on the back, for me personally as an IT guy is a lifesaver. And then it has enabled me to help a lot of different clients pseudo hardwire their equipment for better reliability.The touch screen on the front with the quick toggle options for the plugins and having the router come pre-configured with the ad blocker and tor enabled was just icing on the cake. I truly cannot get enough of this device.My single only complaint about this device, is that on the slate 6 we got three ethernet ports which although were labeled could be reconfigured. I don’t like that we lost an ethernet port, because now if I want to hardwire two laptops I need to bring a switch with me. Or I use my slate 6.So even with that, 100% I would always get this product and there have been very few times where I have looked at networking options and not considered GL.iNet a valid option. In fact when one of my clients routers went down, I deployed the previous model as a replacement device for their router and it perfectly handled business traffic over a VPN for 2 weeks. And that was the last model, this one is nothing but better. I would love it if we got the three ethernet ports back so that we don’t need a switch. But even if that was the case, I would absolutely say that the device is still absolutely worth it, you get an amazing bang for your buck and based on the things that you can do with this, the time you will save, the protections that you can put on yourself, how easy you can make your life with these devices, based on that alone it is highly undervalued. 10/10, absolutely phenomenal piece of equipment, And if there’s any way for me to do so I cannot wait to be the first to get my hands on the next model to come

Very impressive
Professional network.engineer and lifelong IT enthusiast. I do not consider myself especially knowledgeable about radio, though I do manage 70+ APs.This little device is so darn impressive. I have two other Wifi 7 routers, both from TP Link, one enthusiast and another top end. I’ll say, this little GL.iNet is so much better in terms of usability. It was so easy to setup, is very flexible, USB C powered, has features I’ve never seen on consumer grade products before.I expected some things to be lost in translation, but not at all… Everything is perfect English, with proper context. The web UI is fast and the function modifications are as well. The unit never required a reboot either.I have an RV with many wifi dependent devices (environmental monitors, LP monitors, TVs, smart displays, cameras, and more to come). I need to have the same wifi network available to them where ever I go and this enables me to connect to any local wifi, tethering, wired connections, etc and retain the existing wifi network. I’ve only used wifi/wifi and wifi/wired so far, but am looking forward to cellular tethering or bridging. This has basic connection monitoring so it will switch between Internet sources (wifi, cellular, wired) as they are available, with your priority, and even some aggregation.The only downside is that it’s 2.4 and 5ghz bands, no 6ghz.I’m really ellated by how this turned out. It saved me from an ongoing portable rack build that wouldn’t included a flight case, PDU, firewall/router, drawer/stand, and AP (or two).

Quest 3 VR Link Gaming Approved!! (In MLO Spec)
Finally, a router that works for VR gaming with no direct main-router connection!!The only alternative I was using for a while was the PrismXR but it was a horrible device and had issues all the time.I was using this one with its MLO feature for my Quest 3 and I was able to play Alien via Steam on max bit-rate!!What makes this unique is that I need a router that would act as a repeater for the WiFi I capture but not just forward all the traffic to the upstream router. This one can capture WiFi from another router but still be in router (not just repeater) mode. This is needed for a home-network which is what you need for Quest wireless gaming.Note: if your gaming pc has cable access to your modem, then I would get something else, but if you don’t, this is your best bet!!

Safe browsing while traveling
The GL.iNet Slate 7 is hands down my favorite travel router. It’s small, super functional and easy to set up, and gives me total peace of mind when I’m using sketchy hotel or airport Wi-Fi. I just connect through my VPN, and boom—everything’s secure. No more worrying about who’s snooping on the network. The router looks very cool, specially with the screen functionality. I love that it automatically reconnects to my VPN wherever I go, and it handles all my devices without breaking a sweat. The range is impressive and the speeds are solid, even when I’m streaming or working remotely. The interface is clean and simple—anyone can figure it out in minutes. Honestly, this little inexpensive router makes traveling so much easier. I just toss it in my bag, plug it in when I arrive, and I’ve got my own secure network anywhere in the world. Totally worth it if you travel often or just like staying safe online.

Ik ga deze gebruiken voor de vakanties. Thuis zijn alle apparaten middels wifi verbonden met de gl.inet. Op de camping hoef ik alleen de Gl.inet met wifi te verbinden en alles werkt zoals het thuis werkt. Tevens kan ik de wifi via een exit node laten lopen, waardoor ik een beveiligde verbinding heb.

Ich nutze den GL.iNet GL-BE3600 (Slate 7) auf meinen längeren Reisen, die oft mehrere Monate dauern, und bin mit dem Gerät rundum zufrieden. Der Router ist kompakt, leicht und perfekt für unterwegs geeignet. Besonders wichtig war mir ein sicheres WLAN, und genau das liefert der Slate 7 zuverlässig, egal ob über WireGuard oder OpenVPN.Die Einrichtung ist sehr übersichtlich und verständlich gestaltet, auch für Nutzer ohne tiefgehende Netzwerkerfahrung. Innerhalb weniger Minuten ist der Router einsatzbereit. Die Benutzeroberfläche ist logisch aufgebaut, und man findet alle wichtigen Funktionen schnell.Im Betrieb läuft das Gerät äußerst stabil, keine Abbrüche, keine Neustarts nötig, selbst bei längerer Nutzung über mehrere Stunden oder Tage hinweg. Auch die Geschwindigkeit und Reichweite des WLANs sind für ein so kompaktes Gerät beeindruckend.In Kombination mit der flexiblen Stromversorgung (USB-C) und der Möglichkeit, verschiedenste VPN-Profile zu speichern, ist der Router ein echter Gewinn für alle, die unterwegs sicher online sein möchten, ob im Hotel, Ferienhaus oder Wohnmobil.Fazit: Ein sehr zuverlässiger und leistungsstarker Reise-Router mit hervorragender VPN-Unterstützung und einfacher Bedienung. Klare Empfehlung für Vielreisende!
