Excellent Home Mesh Router

GLi did a great job with this router. I tested several Wireguard providers and settled on Mulvad. The mobile app is great for VPN management and more. The web-based admin panel does everything else. Don't bother with the initial setup, just follow the instructions in the mobile app and be patient if there's a slight delay between steps (for those pressing the buttons). I'm writing a routines plugin for kids with this router so that it issues new Wi-Fi passwords after the routines are checked…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Reliability

GLinet delivers again

This is one of the best FOSS routers available. I've been a long time fan of GLinet products and I definitely enjoy Velica. It's nicer than in the photos. There will most likely be software support in the next few years and apparently it comes with openWRT and LuCi pre-installed which is amazing. GLinet products are amazing for the price, you really can't go wrong.

Pros
  • Good for many
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Just what I needed

I'll add a third over time but two gives pretty good coverage for a medium sized house. Look, if you can't stand the Big Name Intelligent Systems User Agreement, don't. It will most likely give you the same experience minus the privacy invasion 😀

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • I don't really like it, it's ok

A little more than expected

An excellent repeater for low power devices that clearly do not have exceptional transmission capabilities, such as some IoT devices and some less powerful adapters. The powerful web interface was a bit difficult to find, but I remember connecting to 192.168.8.1 via Ethernet using the LAN port. Good stuff.

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Some difficulties
