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

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

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.

I've been using the GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX) for a few weeks now, and I'm genuinely impressed. This compact router packs serious features that are perfect for both home use and travel. What I mostly love is the VPN Split Routing feature is a game changer. The ability to route specific traffic through VPN while letting other traffic bypass it is fantastic. I have my private network traffic (192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x ranges) going through the VPN for security, while streaming services like Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, and social media apps bypass the VPN for full speed. Setting this up was straightforward through the web interface. Also, the GL.iNet interface is clean and intuitive. Even if you're not super technical, you can get VPN configured in minutes. For advanced users like me, the full OpenWrt/LuCI access gives you complete control with SSH access and package management. Around €80, this router offers incredible value. If you're someone who needs secure access, especially if you value privacy, need VPN capabilities, or travel frequently, this one's for you!

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.

This little thing seriously belew me away with how feature rich it is. But to go into the technicals I don't think anyone would need the Max power setting as the signal strength even at high power is enough to penetrate 3 to 4 full size internal walls and still offer full speed using 5Ghz and 80Mghz bandwidth. It was surprisingly easy to set up as it's mostly just plug-and-play so that you can have an internet connection straight away, but it also offers a lot, and I mean a lot of customisability for its size. It is seriously small and portable, I haven't tested it but I believe it could fit in a side cargo pants pocket no problem, if you push it, it could probably also fit in a larger trousers pocket. It comes with a decently sized power supply with interchangeable plugs , UK, US and EU, on the other end it has a Usbc connection. It is 5v 3A so I believe any =>15w Usbc PSU would work. It also comes with about a metre long, flat ethernet cable. In my opinion, this has stupendous value for money. I'd happily recommend this to anyone that's starting their networking journey or someone that wants a small router/ap/reaperter for their house, or something to create a secure subnet while travelling.
