Easy to use. The range is great as well. We have a 90 foot garden and signal went to the bottom of the garden and still got 20 meg speed. normally I get nothing. Crazy. The UI is great and it updated to the latest firmware and restarted fine, and thats without having to download the firmware and stick it on a USB drive. If I had paid double for this I would till very be happy with it. It also acts as a repeater as well. proper amazing for £30. and it runs from a micro usb cable. Got it powered from an always on USB port on a gaming rig then through powerlines to the router at the other side of the house. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact, powerful, and versatile *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 27 May 2025* This mini router is a game-changer for travelers and remote workers. It's incredibly small—about the size of a matchbox—but packs a punch with OpenWrt firmware, dual Ethernet ports, and support for OpenVPN and WireGuard. Setup is straightforward via the intuitive web interface, and it can run off a USB power bank, making it perfect for on-the-go use. Whether you need to extend Wi-Fi in a hotel, create a secure VPN tunnel, or tether to a mobile hotspot, this device handles it all with ease. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cute, cheap little router *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 29 May 2026* Absolutely tiny (half the size of a pack of playing cards), runs a custom openWRT buy can easily be flashed with a stock version. Perfect little lightweight travel router/access point for my needs. ## Frequently Bought Together - GL.iNet GL-AR300M16-Ext Portable Mini Travel Wireless Pocket Router - WiFi Router | OpenWrt | 2 x Ethernet Ports | OpenVPN/Wireguard VPN for Public & Hotel Wi-Fi | USB 2.0 Port | 2 x External Antennas - GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2 (Mango) Portable Mini Travel Wireless Pocket VPN WiFi Router - 2X Ethernet Ports | USB 2.0 | OpenWrt | OpenVPN/Wireguard for Public & Hotel Wi-Fi | Easy to Set up via Admin Panel - GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 (Opal) Secure Travel WiFi Router, AC1200 Dual Band Gigabit Ethernet Wireless Network, IPv6 USB 2.0, Repeater Bridge Access Point Mode, Router for Public Use, Easy Setup with Guide --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/54126098-gl-ar300m16-ext](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/54126098-gl-ar300m16-ext) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
