🔒 GL.iNet GL-MV1000W (Brume-W) Wireless Edge Computing Gigabit VPN Gateway - Boosted VPN Speed, High Storage, OpenWrt/LEDE, AdGuard, Tor Review

Gets warm quickly. The Wi-Fi signal was great for the first week, but after that I noticed that the Wi-Fi often dropped in range. Wireguard was easy to set up and best suited for VPN. Wi-Fi issue aside, it was a nice, powerful little router with great features.

This is a basic router that can be used in the office or at home. While it's a bit more expensive than some of the others, the feature set sets it apart. It's basically a computer smaller than the Raspberry Pi! Gets a little warm but doesn't burn. Hope that helps.

This is a pretty powerful little router. I used it to replicate the internet from my hotspot back to the internet disabled network to provide internet to the network without making major changes to the internal network and VPN router and keep it in my toolbox as a backup router, if I have a location with a bad router. I haven't tested the 4G USB dongle yet, but it's a nice feature.

I love this VPN router. Now I can block ads and the download speed is very fast. The setup is very simple, there are many options. Wireguard and OpenVPN are also options. WiFi antennas for guest networks are a welcome update. It can be used as a repeater, bridge or router and access the internet via Ethernet, a 4G USB tethering or connect your phone's data connection. I put it in front of my existing router to speed up the entire Wireguard network.

I've been looking for a router with this feature set for a long time and wanted to build my own, but I've already bought several network cards. Tough question, getting it on something so small powered by USB-C is a huge win. The wi-fi signal isn't that good but I basically bought it as an intermediate, once my WAP is in stock I could buy another without wi-fi and use it as a travel router. The user interface is pretty basic but could probably be polished a bit more. Support is good too.

I was very impressed by this mini dynamo. There are two models of this router. One has a radio, the other doesn't. For an extra $10, it's worth having a radio to set up separately. One thing that drew me to this router is the VPN capabilities of the Open-WRT firmware it has. This broom almost seems to have been designed with VPN in mind. Gone are the agonizing setups for OpenVPN or Wiireguard as this firmware simplifies setup. If you're already subscribed to a VPN provider that I can recommend…
