This little portable WiFi 6 travel router has been popular previously and now it's back. This one features dual band WiFi, 1GbE + 2GbE ethernet ports, USB 3.0 port and powered via USB-C.

These are particularly good due to OpenWrt compatibility, VPN support, Wireguard support, VLAN support and more. Possible use cases include AdGuard for network level adblocking, protecting yourself against unsafe networks such as hotel WiFi networks, or as dangerdanger describes a second WiFi network for the kids with Open DNS to filter out 'bad' content.

    I've been waiting for this since the Asus one I bought was so buggy.

    Thank you!

      I got the Asus Go one but have not opened yet. How is it buggy?

      • Serpeant on 17/06/2025 - 19:43

        Either I got a busted one or it is ridiculously hard to set up.

        I couldn’t work it out so I returned it.

  • Serpeant on 17/06/2025 - 18:42

    Just confirming that you can connect the GL.iNet to a public wifi like Qantas wifi on the plane and then connect your mobile phone to the GL.iNet for wifi access?

    Would this give you enhanced security?

    • marshmall0w2 on 17/06/2025 - 18:47

      Yes

    • philotex on 17/06/2025 - 18:47

      Yes you can and yes it will, especially if you load a VPN profile onto it.

    • denserham on 17/06/2025 - 18:48
      +6

      you can run a VPN on your phone directly so not really if you are only talking about 1 device.

      This would be useful if you paid for internet access on the plane but it is limited to 1 device, you would connect this router to the network and then share with multiple devices. Or if your VPN has limited devices you could connect to this instead of setting up on every device and only take up 1 slot.

      • DoesntEvenMatter on 17/06/2025 - 21:13

        You could also hotspot a wifi connection too on android

    • Hornpub on 17/06/2025 - 18:52

      thats one major reason of getting this kinda router in the first place. so yep yes.

      Sometimes the plane APs don't like the beryl so I connect my phone (on virgin) pay for the internet access on my phone and then look at my mac address in the WIFI settings of my phone and then connect my phone to the beryl AP, go to the gateways GUI and spoof that same mac address that my phone was using to connect to the virgin AP (there's a setting in the beryls GUI) and connect to the virgin AP from the beryls GUI and then all mine and my partners devices have WIFI access via the little beryl.

          takes about 5 mins if you know what your doing. I found its the best way on virgin planes anyway as you have to pay. Qantas i think you just get free internet anyway.

          • AeymothSky on 17/06/2025 - 19:03

            @oldyellah: I've never flown on a plane with wi fi before but yeah if it works it works man. i respect the hack haha

        • denserham on 17/06/2025 - 20:44

          The Slate models have an easier way of doing this but like he said below its a pretty quick process once you know how.

    • Proliferation on 17/06/2025 - 19:01

      Potentially. This one doesn't have EAP support, unlike a few of the other GL.iNet models, so if WiFi access is locked behind a landing page you won't be able to traverse it. (eg. If the aeroplane has an apparently unsecured wifi connection, but upon joining you're taken to a default page and prompted to input some kind of unique passkey the airline provides only when you specifically pay for that add-on)

      • philotex on 17/06/2025 - 19:19
        +2

        Unless I'm mistaken, you're describing a captive portal, which this can handle fine and is unaffected by EAP protocol limitations.

        • Scottabargin on 20/06/2025 - 13:37

          Late to the party,
          However, I can confirm, you are able to flash an alternative firmware version, that will allow EAP connection.
          Standard firmware will not work, even with some CLI/configuration edits.

    • maloryarcher on 18/06/2025 - 06:51

      You can even use Beryl AX to connect to the Telstra's free phone booth WiFi.

      • HaydosK on 17/06/2025 - 19:09

        I was reading the specs for the og beryl not the ax. Thanks for this. I'm so silly. Is this the best gl inet router for travel?

        • soymeat on 17/06/2025 - 20:11
          +3

          Basically. Slate AX is slightly more powerful and has EAP support. Slate 7 (their latest travel router) has Wifi 7 (but no 6ghz band, which means not as much benefit over Wifi 6) and a little touch screen on the front.

          Unless you really care about those features, the Beryl AX is an amazing travel router, and for most use cases you won't notice any difference between it and the 2 Slate devices I mentioned.

          I own all 3 (just because I like playing around with them) and I would happily take the Beryl AX travelling and not feel like I was missing anything compared to the other 2. The Beryl AX is also the smaller of the 3 routers.

          • HaydosK on 17/06/2025 - 20:34

            @soymeat: Thanks for the info. I think you are right. doesn't seem like enough of a difference to matter. I will hopefully get it and test.

        • pandawelch on 17/06/2025 - 20:27

          I have the Beryl AX and the Slate 7. Don't think I got anything more from the Slate 7, besides teh screen which might help less techy folk (1) see when start up is completed and (2) see the status.

          • HaydosK on 17/06/2025 - 20:33

            @pandawelch: Thanks for the info. I think I might buy it. I have been looking for one forever but have been waiting for a good deal on a decently powerful one.

        • maloryarcher on 18/06/2025 - 06:54

          If you use Beryl AX as access point, connect to 2.5GbE switch through the WAN port, and set 5GHz channel width to 160MHz, you can achieve close to 1.7Gbps on WiFi because the WAN port is 2.5GbE. I use it in this configuration.

          • HaydosK on 18/06/2025 - 07:58
            +1

            @maloryarcher: Nice thanks. Not planning to do anything crazy but want to just use it for travel first and get used to openwrt as I haven't used it before.

        • Remorhaz on 18/06/2025 - 10:22

          I've had the Beryl AX for a few years and it is excellent for travel (my daughters even used it for their 2 month trip overseas with no issues)

          I was considering getting the new Wifi 7 model but it looked bigger and not really many more features that would actually be noticeable in real world use

          I like how compact and light the unit is and being USB-C powered is really convenient for travel. Being able to set the physical switch to initiate my Wireguard VPN connection back to home also handy (nothing complicated for my daughter to do other than flick the switch when needed)

  • richmond12 on 17/06/2025 - 20:06

    What about getting past hotel Captive portal? Eg want to connect my baby cam wifi

    • littlesoldier on 17/06/2025 - 20:12
      +2

      Can confirm it works with captive portal, been using it many times on hotel

    • tastybaklava on 17/06/2025 - 20:16

      Would be keen to know this too. My assumption is that this unit essentially treats the hotel wifi as the WAN and creates a local network for you.

      This would (I assume) mean the baby cam should function as you’re only traversing across your local network you’ve just created.

    • soymeat on 17/06/2025 - 20:17
      +1

      Yes, these routers can get around captive portals the vast majority of the time. I've never encountered a captive portal I haven't been able to get around with a gl.inet router.

      Usually you just have to connect to the hotel Wifi on the router, then use your phone (connected to the router Wifi) to complete the captive portal login, and then everything connected to the router will work fine.

      • richmond12 on 17/06/2025 - 22:14

        Interesting, thanks. Thats the bit im trying to understand how you enter the details on the portal if the router connects to the hotel wifi.

    • viewfinder on 17/06/2025 - 20:45
      +1

      Yes, I can confirm this Beryl AX can get through hotel captive portals.

      If you're interested in having a baby/wifi cam on your travels, you may want to also check out the Tapo C120 because it is powered by usb-c and folds up nicely.

  • bestbarginever on 17/06/2025 - 20:27

          Yeah same issue here. No discount at checkout as a new customer. Seems like they're locking out stacking for anyone who uses the code.

          EDIT: Spoke to customer support and they reckon you need to wait two days after the account has been created. Doesn't sound like this has applied to others, but that's apparently the reason.

  • skyva on 17/06/2025 - 21:24

    Can these boot to usb? Can I run the gl.inet OS normally and install openwrt on a usb stick and play with that if I want, reverting to original os when I remove the usb?

          +1

          Yes. I was able to. But I mainly VPN to my own server back in Australia without issues.

          If you get an eSIM for China, the one I had was from Maaltalk, which uses China Mobile network, you can access any services (Facebook, YouTube, Google, X, Snapchat, etc) without VPN. I was in China for 21 days and I didn’t need to VPN for all the social media platforms that I used.

          • Xitiwofo on 22/06/2025 - 21:12

    • OzTech74L on 18/06/2025 - 08:10

      It’s not hard. It’s one of the easiest router to setup actually.

      Maybe it’s just the way people are explaining things on setting it up but promise… it’s easy.

  • antik on 18/06/2025 - 09:11

    Can you activate an eSIM within one of these?

    • phuck-luong on 18/06/2025 - 10:24

      No you can't however you can tether your phones hotspot and share it with the wifi.

      • antik on 18/06/2025 - 11:29

        Better off just tethering directly to the other device

  • Samuek on 18/06/2025 - 09:48

    How would this go as a cheap and small home router? my mum only really has a phone and TV and her new house has an NBN modem.

    • phuck-luong on 18/06/2025 - 10:22

      this will be better than most expensive routers - I have the same model as an access point and I consistently get closer to advised speeds on my nbn 1000/50 plan. On wifi I never get more than 200-300 on my older more expensive router but with this little beaut I easily cross 600-700 megs. So it can easily handle a phone and tv.

    • littlesoldier on 18/06/2025 - 11:45

      depends on what you want, this is a travel router, while the speed and range isn't that bad, given with the short antenna the range might be less compare to a home router
      if you can pay a bit more, the GL iNet Flint 2 $186.48 is an excellent home router https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/911193

  • vt on 18/06/2025 - 16:59

    Has Amazon changed how the discounts stack as am getting a total of $72.34? Looks like the 30% is off the discounted price rather than the original price now.

  • Hangryuman on 18/06/2025 - 17:03

    for people like me who don't know what a travel wifi device like this is used for, pray tell -

    is it to add layer of security - to encrypt a connection to hotel wifi ?

    is to connect to something else - like sharing/tethering/hotspotting a phone eSim ?

    and so on

    • Limbot on 19/06/2025 - 10:02

      Quick thoughts:

      1. Create your own subnet with a firewall between your devices and any other devices on the public wifi
      2. Own subnet means you can run devices that Chromecast or Firesticks in hotel rooms
      3. VPN for security of data (all connected devices)
      4. VPN for geo blocked applications/services (all connected devices)
      5. Only ever have to connect travel router to public WiFi , all other devices just attached to travel router (nice when travelling with multiple devices or especially with family)
      6. Shared storage for movies, music, holiday photos etc (if SD card slot (not this model))
        7, Can connect via etherenet, WiFi, tethered phone, 4G/5G dongle.

      Useful little jigger for all sort of reasons.

  • HeDanny on 18/06/2025 - 17:58

    That's bargain enough for me to grab one. Never used anything like htis before. Time to see if this old dog can learn a new trick, or two.
    Felix Unlimited in phone. USB to this to keep it charged and teathered. If I can get that working I'll be a happy camper.

    Anything on top of that is a bonus. Seems like some cool stuff can be learned poking this little thing till if breaks. :)

    Doses anyone use one of these as a home router? Occasionally I’m at an apartment size place (1.5 bedrooms and tiny). Wireguard speed is perfect and as space is limited it wouldn’t look as out of place as a full sized router (yes I’m aware the flint 2 is tons better).

  • AgressiveUberDriver on 09/07/2025 - 16:54

    Guys does the "Random MAC Adress" option will allow me to bypass the free wifi data allowance restriction at the library (2GB per device per day)?

    • Limbot on 09/07/2025 - 17:06

      You would have to manually change it on the router every 2GB.
