GL.iNet GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX) Portable Travel Router, Pocket-Sized Wi-Fi 6 Wireless Travel Gigabit Router, with OpenVPN & Wireguard for Public & Hotel Wi-Fi Use, Suitable for Cruise/RV/Airplane/Hotel

Product is nice but they reduced 2k after my 10 days replacement period over🙄

I don't think I need to stress how good this router is for travel router needs. The price they're charging in India is reasonable because shipping internationally would cost a lot more than this. Product came well packaged and sealed, and includes US / EU / Indian plugs in the box. Everything works fine, and because it's only 5V3A, you can even use a standard smartphone charger / adaptor to run it. By default, it runs on a fork of OpenWRT. It also natively supports OpenWRT and has a lot of storage (256MB) so you can install anything you want. Even the stock firmware is really good. All in all, go for it if you can, otherwise the TP-Link TL-WR1502X is another (more basic) option available as of now.

Excellent

Product is as expected, company sealed and genuine. price was little stiff but On time delivery and good service by Blumaple.

Solid travel router with great performance once it’s up and running. Mine stopped booting after a couple of weeks (no Wi-Fi SSID, no Ethernet), which was scary at first, but it turned out to be a firmware soft-brick. I was able to recover it fully using the U-Boot recovery guide from GL.iNet support. Worth knowing for buyers: if it looks dead, don’t panic — it’s recoverable. Been working fine since.

Better than expected quality and features.

Bardzo pozytywnie mnie zaskoczył. Super oprogramowanie w urządzeniu. Mnie najbardziej zależało na VPN - jest elastyczne w konfiguracji.

At first the little gadget would not connect to my wifi and would not even connect when I used an ethernet cable in either port. After messing around for a while, somehow - not quite sure - I got it connected to the internet long enough that it poped up a message saying firmware update in progress. After the firmware download and installation everything went like clockwork, hooked up to my router with the ethernet cable, and hooked up to both my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks. Wireguard was easy to setup with the phone app, OpenVPN was easy to set up with the user interface. I like that it comes with plug adapters for US, UK and EU as that makes it very handy for travel. It is quite small and light and the plug is also quite small - so it should be fine for packing. Overall, after a little initial struggle - I would say this is a great little travel router with all the features one could ever need.

I travel and cruise often. I am an attorney and usually have to work for some portion of my travel, and having internet availability is crucial. I am also creating video content for a youtube channel and my work. When I am working I usually need to have more than one electronic device hooked up at the same time. For cruisers we all know that you pay per device so I am usually switching between devices, and that gets tiring. I have used several different travel routers (like ravPower and TP-Link) to different levels of success. However, the common factor is that the travel router usually deminishes the signal and speed coming in (and going out) so that even if I hooked up one device the connection speed would drop by more than half. For cruising that meant deathly slow connections. RavPower made me so frustrated on my last cruise by shutting off and on and disconnecting and reconnecting constantly. I simply couldn't use it. TP-Link works better, but its effectiveness decreases significantly (in speed) when there is a distance between the modem and where I am working, making it useless at times. I bought the MT3000-Beryl AX because I had an upcoming cruise and had to work a lot, including having a Zoom hearing. I tested it at home and it was amazing, but the home doesn't pose the connection issues found on a cruise ship. I boarded Royal Caribbean's Oasis that uses Starlink (the same ship I used the RavPower on three weeks earlier and about pulled my hair out), hoping it would do well. This little modem was amazing. Not only did it connect easily to the ship, the download signal was the same as if my electronic device was connected directly. Additionally, the upload speed (not sure how) was almost always better than my phone or laptop. I speed-tested it regularly and often. It was as good or better than my direct connection, and everything worked great. I lowered the resolution on my camera for my zoom hearing and had no issues. I worked in my room, but I could hook the Beryl up to a batter pack and basically be mobile anywhere on the ship. I hooked up 4 devices at once and didn't notice much of a lag for what I was doing. The modem comes with a bunch of built-in security features. For a family going on a cruise, this little device will allow you to provide access to all your cabinmates while they are in the cabin. It might solve the issue of needing to get everyone their own internet access (if some people only use the internet on occasion - but not for heavy scrollers). The only gripe I had was that I wanted to wirelessly dump photos from my iPhone to a card because I have limited storage (and your iPhone doesn't want to back up to iCloud while on the ship even if you have continuous internet access). I know it can do this. I didn't figure out how to do this when I was home and tried to figure it out while on the ship, but there wasn't any real information, even the info Beryl provided (although I might have missed it). I had all the hardware. I tinkered with it but couldn't figure it out. I tried youtube videos or google searches to no avail. I'm sure there is info out there, but it wasn't easy to find. I give this a 5 Star rating as a travel router. Fast, efficient, secure, and portable! It's a winner! ***** UPDATE 10/26/25 This thing still works amazing. It goes on all my trips and lets me connect multiple devices. I did have a situation where one of the cruise ships gave it a little trouble connecting. However there is a way to spoof your LAN to match a laptop. I watched a YouTube video how to do it and it was simple and worked amazing. I bring it with me when I want to work outside of the cabin on the cruise and power it with a portable powerbank. A lot of the times when I am working aboard a ship, the cruise workers ask me about it because they want one. At the very least - it provides a much more secure connection than a direct connection into a cruise or hotel internet gateway. It works great with VPN and you can even add yours into the admin panel. If I could give it 10 stars I would.

dieser GL-MT3000 hat mitlerweile den vorherigen GL-MT1300 abgelöst. Dieser hier ist im VPN deutlich schneller und hat deutlich mehr Speicher. Läuft problemlos und hat nach Firmwareupdate nun auch Kindersicherung in der noch Beta-Version dabei. Nach dem Firmwareupdate muss ich feststellen ist die Oberfläche besser und noch übersichtlicher geworden. Es ist einiges an Möglichkeiten hinzu gekommen, bspw. die Zeitschaltung für alle WLANs auch des Gäste-WLAN, die Kindersicherung, umschaltbare Datenraten im QoS, Sortieren nach Name, IP oder Geschwindigkeit, abschalten der nervigen LED und noch einiges mehr. Der Austausch hat sich für mich gelohnt und da das VPN nun deutlich schneller ist, laufen nun alle Geräte hierüber, mit einer Geräte spezifischen Datenrate insbesondere der Firmenlaptop und TV. Luci habe ich seither kaum mehr bemühen müssen, alle für mich nötigen Einstellungen gehen in der normalen Oberfläche. Läuft problemlos ohne Hänger oder Resets, ohne nix, läuft einfach...... bei mir im stationären Hausgebrauch hinter einer Fritzbox. von mir klare Empfehlung update nach nun 3 Jahren Dauereinsatz : läuft absolut problemlos, ohne jeglichen Hänger oder Absturz, auch nach Spannungsausfall binnen 2-3 min wieder hochgefahren und voll funktionsfähig, wie die zahlreichen Vorgänger von GL.iNet absolut top, sehr sparsam im Energieverbrauch, mehrere Firmwareupdates später noch immer absolut top, die höhere VPN-Geschwindigkeit rechtfertigt den Wechsel vom GL-MT1300 zum GL-MT3000, schön wäre die werkseitige Verwendung von wechselbaren externen Antennen - dies würde den nachträglichen Umbau und den einhergehenden Garantieverlust ( der bisher noch nie in Anspruch genommen werden musste ! ) vermeiden, der Umbau ist jedoch recht einfach, Pigtails mit U.FL/IPEX und ext. Antennen mit 8 - 10 dBi bringen einen erheblichen Reichweiten- / Bandbreitengewinn mit sich, selbst wenn BNetzA konform die max. Sendeleistung um den zusätzlichen Antennengewinn auf den vorgeschriebenen max. EIRP ( 20 dBm/2,4 GHz, 23 dBm/5 + 6 GHz ) reduziert wird, kann so die Richtwirkung besser beeinflusst werden, ich habe hier auf 25 bzw. 50 % Leistung reduziert und keinerlei Einbussen festgestellt, VPN läuft mit Wireguard fast auf max. Glasfaser Geschwindigkeit mit 200 - 270 Mbits Download und 100 - 270 Mbits Upload je nach Exit und Netzlast ( allermeisst Oslo oder Helsinki ), OpenVPN ist etwas langsamer, mehrere VPN's sind möglich und lassen sich jedem Gerät per MAC zuweisen auf einem 2. habe ich den integrierten TOR ( noch Beta ) laufen, funktioniert bis auf ein paar kleine Hänger ab und zu aber recht gut und problemlos
