I suggest using a different "SSID" with it and configuring your devices to also connect to it. When you are at home, it will be off and your devices will connect to your home wifi. When you are traveling, it will be on and your devices will connect to it instead. **Q: I have my own openvps server at home. can i connect to my home openvpn server with this router instead of publicly available openvpn servers?** A: Yes you can. You should have a ovpn file that can be upload to the router. **Q: Does it come with a power cord? to tether from phone to tv, do i need additional hdmi or usb cords or connectors?** A: It comes with a USB cable. You could setup like this: Your phone---(Tethering)--->AR300M16---(WiFi/Ethernet cable)--->Your TV ## Frequently Bought Together - GL.iNet GL-AR300M16 Portable Mini Travel Wireless Pocket Router - WiFi Router/Access Point/Extender/WDS | OpenWrt | 2 x Ethernet Ports | OpenVPN/Wireguard VPN | USB 2.0 Port - GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2 (Mango) Portable Mini Travel Wireless Pocket VPN WiFi Router - 2X Ethernet Ports | USB 2.0 | OpenWrt | OpenVPN/Wireguard for Public & Hotel Wi-Fi | Easy to Set up via Admin Panel - GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 (Opal) Secure Travel WiFi Router, AC1200 Dual Band Gigabit Ethernet Wireless Network, IPv6 USB 2.0, Repeater Bridge Access Point Mode, Router for Public Use, Easy Setup with Guide --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/54126105-gl-ar300m16-mini-travel-wi-fi-router-openwrt-2-ethernet](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/54126105-gl-ar300m16-mini-travel-wi-fi-router-openwrt-2-ethernet) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
