Review on GL.iNet GL-S1300 (Convexa-S): High-Speed Gigabit VPN Router with OpenWrt Pre-Installed and Dual-Band Wi-Fi Networking by Nick Howard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Technically excellent product

So far, so good. I didn't rate it perfect for two reasons. 1) No US tech support or 7/24 as I am in the Eastern Time Zone. When I have a problem, waiting for Hong Kong to "wake up” can be difficult. Problems still don't matter much and I can, but what if I fall? Also, it's a little "weak" in some things, such as the ability to change the configuration file for an open VPN. I don't need to edit the configuration file after it's created to change the IP address to a fully qualified domain name. I hope this gets fixed in a future release. It's nice and intuitive to set up most of the features. Over time we'll see if it continues to work well.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Largely ok, but...
