Professional Tech Press Insights

For anyone looking to buy a travel router with almost unlimited bells and whistles, the Slate 7 has extensive customization features, a feature toggle switch, advanced securityand VPN integration alongside the speed and advantages of Wi-Fi 7.

While most Wi-Fi routers can be used as an access point by turning DHCP off and wiring its WAN port to a LAN port on your primary router ...some routers are even easier to extend your Wi-Fi with...like GL.iNet's travel routers, which run OpenWrt and can turn into a Wi-Fi repeater either by plugging in a cable to the WAN port, or wirelessly by connecting it to your primary Wi-Fi.

Overall, I just think this little box is neat. Sure, I can cobble together something faster and with better features. What I cannot do is make that for under $150 and also make it sleek with a status display screen and a compact chassis, especially if I account for my time. The reason I will pick one of these up is just to have it in my suitcase for when I might need it.

The GL.iNet Slate 7 is precisely what I wanted on paper for a travel router, and it still has the potential to be something great. This travel router beautifully blends speed, security, and compact simplicity all in one device. It has dual 2.5GbE ports, a built-in VPN, a touchscreen for ease of navigating the onboard UI, and it is all easily powered by USB-C while barely pulling any power.

What Beta Tester are Saying

I think I'm in love with the new compact power supply... The Slate7 with the touchscreen is a nice addon in the GL.iNet family... the display does make the share of (guest) WiFi much more comfortable, the on/off of different VPN instead of one on/of button is cool, and I can fast ask at the phone for the actual IP...

@LupusE

Screen really useful you can connect, reset and disconnect... I really like design of your travel routers. Especially this one slate7(gl-be3600) for design.

@Mniko

I really have enjoyed using my Slate 7. It is travel friendly (portable size, USB-C power and USB port for tether/storage) and it can handle advanced features like VPNs (both OpenVPN and WireGuard). The touchscreen lets you keep an eye on status and even enable/disable certain features easily.

@CookieP71

This router has been AMAZING this week. Rock solid performance in the different hotels and airports I've been in. In one hotel my room was on the 3rd floor and I had a great signal in the restaurant on the first floor! This one is a winner!

@Aargvark

The Slate 7 is an absolute standout in both aesthetics and performance... Setup was effortless, and the compact form factor is perfect for travel. The performance is exceptional, delivering fast and reliable good range connectivity...

@tarxvf

Buttons feel of good quality and the antennas click into place in 90 degrees and 180 degree positions as desired.No flimsy or poor quality perception during the beta test use everyday and while used for traveling.

Reviews

Great little router with impressive performance.

"What really stood out for me was the strong support for multiple VPN protocols and the high VPN speeds, which work smoothly even under heavy use. The new Wi-Fi 7 technology delivers fast and stable wireless performance, and the fact that it’s based on OpenWrt makes it super flexible and customizable. Overall, a powerful and reliable router, especially for VPN users and tech-savvy people."

— Hamed (5/5)

Very small and yet very powerful travel router

"Small device to carry around. Highly configurable, works really fast. It took me 5 minutes to setup the basic options. The touch screen comes really handy when it comes to switching through the different features. To me this was the right solution when working away from home in a secure way and to access all of my files"

— Federico F. (5/5)

A very capable travel router . . . and for home too

"A very capable travel router - fully featured, a great size and thee screen is a nice touch. A must-have for the travelling homelab-er. I have a second one which I use at home to enable home-ip"

— Mal B. (5/5)

Satisfied with the purchase

"Fully satisfied with the purchase. Works as expected."

— Oleksandr (5/5)

Great little powerhouse to bring with you while traveling

"I travel for work, and I've always wondered if there's a better way to manage my devices without relying solely on VPNs and manually configuring each device I bring. With the Slate, I can count on my devices being secured as soon as I connect them to the Internet, whether to the Hotel's Wi-Fi or mobile hotspots, which adds an extra layer of security. The setup is pretty straightforward, with an easy-to-use interface. While I didn't use the touchscreen that much it's nice to have the option"

— Jose V. (5/5)

Amazing travel router

"Awesome device! Compact, great features and the screen is ideal for quick configuration!"

— Vince (5/5)

Just perfect

"Clearly a premium product. Setup was extremely easy. Touchscreen works as expected and is a nice touch. Feature set is super versatile including cellular, modem and repeater modes. Comes with the same software as the other routers which has to be the best out of any other router software. Extremely customizeable. Was especially impressed with the charging block, swappable plugs and the US plug is built in by default with the other plug types going on top."

— Arseny A. (5/5)

Quick to setup, quick to boot

"Awesome piece of tech. Now I am able to use my Chromecast at my relatives or at a jotelcwithout fuzzing around inside a VPN app. Works very well and the UI is intuitive."

— Moritz (5/5)

Good router

"I can activate multiple VPN servers at the same time. Every device can be assigned to different locations to fight geographical censorship for Netlix. Your privacy is protected from ISP and public wifi hackers."

— Alfred (5/5)

Great compact travel router

"Great travel router. Compact but feature-packed settings. I'm using it in the house right now as my main device, but I'm planning to take it with me in my travels. Signal strength is also great. The touchscreen is very convenient. No complaints at the moment."

— J R. (5/5)
