Very cool! My use: 1) Anonymize streaming web traffic from my Revain Fire TV running Kodi. I have found that some ISPs restrict certain packages, I expect this will become more common over time. I've used VPN tunnels to Los Angeles, Chicago, Sweden, Romania, Singapore, etc. with this product. So my streaming is unlimited. I use WiFi in the router, WiFi comes out of the router. 2) Public Wi-Fi Security: Connect to local free Wi-Fi in a coffee shop or McDonalds, hotel room, etc. without fear of a

Pros
  • also understandable for old people
Cons
  • reliability

Excellent router. Probably worth more than advertised.

Excellent router with Open VPN installed. I needed a small, affordable router because I needed one for my Apple TV. He does exactly what he says with minimal fuss. It's very easy to set up, and setting up a VPN is just as easy. Initially I couldn't see the VPN setup when logging into the router with my phone, but after a recent firmware update this issue seems to have been resolved. I would highly recommend this router to anyone who needs it for an affordable VPN setup. I also use this router…

Pros
  • Many will fit
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Security Hotel/Public Hotspot

WOW! I bought it because I needed an internet security solution for hotels and public wifi hotspots when traveling. This tiny, inexpensive device can connect to a hotel's Wi-Fi or Ethernet network and provide a secure Wi-Fi connection to multiple devices. It adds a layer of protection between public WiFi and your private devices by creating a separate network (not perfect, but better than nothing), but can also be configured as an OpenVPN client! This is perfect for me. I have a VPN server at…

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • Some little things

The box that made it!

I opened the box and checked the steps. It seems very functional for what it advertised. If you just want to do what's advertised, you're good to go. This seems like a great travel router. However, once I realized that it was a Linux minicomputer with an available USB port that I could plug a large USB memory stick into, I wanted to take it a step further and make it a streaming medium, on kids can look at our phones when we are traveling and the internet is not available (planes, trains, cars…

just with dubious initial connection and needs better instructions

the supplied instructions hardly fit, a detailed instruction video is mandatory! I had to look at the youtuber's online guide. The first connection was made in under 15 minutes (a few hiccups - GL-iNet was difficult to connect). - iNet control panel. For some reason google didn't redirect me to the GL-iNet site. Tried to connect directly to the local network, but to no avail, as a phone modem. Extremely unpleasant. I will check again when I come to friends, this is necessary when I travel. want

Pros
  • absolute legend
Cons
  • boring packaging

Perfect! Best of Routers

Great little router! I was surprised how small it is. about the size of a phone jack. Comes with a microUSB cable, but you need to plug it into your computer's USB port or USB wall adapter. I plugged it in, connected the LAN port to my computer, and the router gave it an IP address to log in with. The router has two separate interfaces. a basic setup that works for most users and an advanced UI (you have to enter it through the basic UI) that lets you configure almost anything. LuCi runs on…

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • No

Great product and even better support!

Having bought other mini routers, the AR150 came as a very pleasant surprise. The GUI interface is clean, the instructions are simple, and the performance is very good. I use it to provide a secure OpenVPN tunnel in a hotel or public areas. The AR150 software does not support real-time interactive VPN connections. This means that when loading the OpenVPN configuration file, you will be asked for a username and password, which will be saved in the file. My VPN provider is set to multi-factor…

  • Electronics
