GL.iNet's latest travel router, the Slate 7 has dropped on Amazon with a 10% coupon currently active for anyone looking to buy. Obviously not as good as the preorder price that I doubt we'll see again for a very long time.

New features include WiFi 7 (sadly no 6GHz) with 688Mbps (2.4GHz) & 2882Mbps (5GHz) front touchscreen interface, 2.5GbE LAN, 2.5GbE WAN, OpenWrt 23.05 firmware out of the box, power via USB-C PD and an upgraded Qualcomm quad-core CPU paired with 1GB RAM and 1GB storage. Additionally there's a USB 3.0 port.

Like other GL.iNet routers this has VPN support including OpenVPN and WireGuard, AdGuard and more.

    great for remote workers who want to appear that they are in another location from their corporate devices ;)

    • TheEmperor on 20/05/2025 - 00:51

      Can you expand on this? For workplaces that only allow work in Australia, won't they detect/block accessing corporate networks/services using unauthorised VPNs or block the VPN traffic? What happens if I try to connect to a corporate software VPN?

      • marshmall0w2 on 20/05/2025 - 01:05

        The VPN chains. Unless your company has VPN blockers, then there shouldn't be an issue

        you could VPN to your home

          That seems like the primary use of this for remote workers, provided that you have a VPN’able router at home too.

          Connect your devices (inc your phone) to this in your hotel room in Bali. VPN from this to your home router and then you’ll appear to be at home when you connect to your employer’s network… or at least your IP address will.

          Location services could give the game away if your devices spy on you. Network latency could make an employer suspect something is odd if they’re extremely paranoid.

          Otherwise, it just looks like you’re at home behind your gl.inet router.

      • haikyo on 22/05/2025 - 22:16

        private VPS running openvpn with a dedicated IP, I guess your work arrangement would need to allow you to be remote, and that your device is expected to be on a range of different network types within a single geo location. This would pre-connect to the openvpn connection which your device would then connect through via wifi/ethernet.

    • askbargain on 20/05/2025 - 09:24

      one wifi scan and you're screwed

    isnt having 6ghz RF is a major feature of wifi7? (wifi6e too)

    • Oh Daddy on 19/05/2025 - 21:48

      Yup but banned in most Chinese routers. I have the Xiaomi BE6000, same thing, no wifi6e

      Sadly, the WiFi standard allows such marketing BS. We have to be careful and look for Tri-Band and 6Ghz labelling.

      Wait for Flint 3 to release if you want a properly implemented one from GL.Inet. Although note that the Flint 3 is marketed as a home router, not a travel router.

    Would be awesome if this could happily run Plex

      It's a travel router, not a server or a mini PC or a RasPi

      Why stop there? Why not proxmox? I'm sure a portal TrueNAS server would be handy sometimes. Hell, let's go all out and run DeepSeek on a travel router!

    • impoze on 20/05/2025 - 03:04

      No plex but it can do smb & DLNA

      • FoxJump on 23/05/2025 - 13:20

        I use these with my glinet beryl. with a 1tb nvme.
        i just ordered one of these slates7 too, i'll port over all my helper scripts to it

    • yak on 20/05/2025 - 12:26

      I know it was a joke, but if someone was serious about accessing their home Plex from their travel router securely (without the usual external access method)…

      Have a device that runs Plex client (Chromecast, phone, tablet) connect it to the travel router wifi. VPN Slate back to your home router and with your Plex server’s ip address you should be in.

    How much of an advance is it over the GL.iNet GL-MT3000 ?

    • 5kbjvb3o on 20/05/2025 - 18:43

      It's a bit bigger and uses more power, but it is a bit better specced, faster wifi and a screen. As a travel router you'll likely be bottlenecked by the Internet service, so I wouldn't replace a Beryl yet.

    • FoxJump on 23/05/2025 - 13:21

      I just scored one off amazon vine. I'll try compare both in my review, as i also have that GL-MT3000 that I have actually used.

      Ask me in a month

      • FoxJump on 24/05/2025 - 22:55

        okay @Be careful
        Ive done a careful nerdy study for my usages of my Beryl. The amazon review should be coming up in a day or two. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0F2MR53D6

        basically, this offers 2.5gbe wan over the beryl. A cool touchscreen which increases usability. BUT significantly slower USB transfer speed.
        Beryl: 30MB/s via ethernet direct to a computer on an ext4 nvme.
        Slate7: 8MB/s via ethernet direct to a computer on an ext4 nvme.

        EIGHT MEGABYTES
        my old AR750S would do 6MB/s on ntfs.

        I'm keeping my Beryl for travel router purposes.

      • FoxJump on 25/05/2025 - 18:39

        @Be careful
        Using fw 4.7.2 i get 96MB/s on exfat and 50MBs on ntfs.
