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

After a problem with the Convexa-B I returned, I decided to buy this product. If you update the firmware, Adguard will be added, which is very convenient for the router. I would recommend clearing the cache in your browser when updating the firmware. Do not save settings or install packages to avoid incompatibility issues you may have encountered when purchasing Convexa-B. By default settings are saved and packages are installed, you need to change this and install new firmware on the device. Upgrading to this newer platform, which is only a year old compared to the Convexa-B, costs an additional $30. I don't think the company sells any other product on YouTube. Repeating public Wi-Fi connections through a VPN saves me a lot of money compared to buying expensive data plans. The hotel I was using a few weeks ago blocked my Mac address for two of my devices when I asked them to bypass the authorized portal page. in retaliation instead of refusing my request. Now I don't have any of those issues when using this device and I have better security with a VPN. I upgraded my hotel wifi plan to high speed, multiple devices can easily connect through this router. Author's portal page. If there is a speed difference, they will choke you as a form of denial. This is a weird customer service tactic hotels use to avoid saying no to you. While aesthetically pleasing, other routers are aimed at the non-tech market and avoid costly calls to customer support for advanced features.
