Why Bring a Travel Router?
Take Your Own Network Anywhere
Connect Mango 2 to hotel Wi‑Fi, Ethernet, or mobile data and bring your familiar private network to every destination.
Add Privacy to Every Connected Device
Set up a compatible VPN on Mango 2, and your connected devices can share the same encrypted VPN connection for added privacy on public networks.
Skip Setting Up Every Device Again
Connect your devices to Mango 2 before your trip. When you arrive, they can reconnect to the Wi-Fi name and password they already know.
Four Network Connection Methods
with Auto-Failover
When the primary connection becomes unavailable, Mango 2 can switch to a configured backup while your devices remain connected to Mango 2.
Public Wi-Fi Repeater
Connect to hotel, café or other public Wi-Fi and share the connection with your devices.
Ethernet
Use an available wired connection for a faster, more stable internet experience.
Phone USB Tethering
Share your phone's mobile data when public Wi-Fi is unavailable or unreliable.
USB Cellular Modem
Add a dedicated mobile connection without depending on your phone or draining its battery.
Flexible VPN Control for Your Travel Network
One VPN Setup for All Your Devices
Configure a compatible VPN once on Mango 2. Phones, laptops, tablets and other connected devices can then enjoy the same VPN connection without separate installations.
Add VPN to Devices That Cannot Run VPN Apps
Add VPN connectivity to supported streaming devices, game consoles and other devices that cannot install VPN apps simply by connecting them to Mango 2's Wi-Fi.
Choose What Uses the VPN
Use VPN policies to choose whether connected devices or websites route through the VPN or connect directly to the internet.
Flexible VPN Support
Compatible with over 30 VPN providers, with performance of up to 184 Mbps using WireGuard® or 95 Mbps using OpenVPN DCO.
Performance tests were conducted in client mode on a local network. Actual speeds may vary depending on the VPN provider, server location, network conditions and configuration. Speeds will be lower when Mango 2 operates as a VPN server.

Designed for Travel, Built to Stay Connected
Made to Travel Light
Why carry a bulky travel router—or compromise on the features you need? At only 15 mm thin and 100g, Mango 2 has everything you need from a travel router, packed into one pocket-sized design.
Power Up Anywhere
Power Mango 2 with a compatible USB-C charger or power bank, with a low-power design made for everyday travel connectivity.
Made for the Way You Travel
Stay More Private on Public Wi-Fi
At airports, cafés and other shared spaces, use Mango 2 to add VPN privacy protection when connecting to public Wi-Fi—helping reduce the privacy risks of connecting directly to shared networks.
Getting the Whole Family Online
Bring the family’s phones, iPads, and laptops onto one travel Wi-Fi by signing in to compatible hotel Wi-Fi once through Mango 2.
A Mini Router Made for Backpacking
From early departures to overnight buses, Mango 2 takes up almost no room and runs from the power bank you already carry. Set it up before you leave and keep your devices connected throughout the journey.
A Backup Connection for Remote Work
Stay focused on calls, files, and everyday tasks, with a configured backup connection ready to keep your work moving if the primary network becomes unavailable.
The Mango you remember,
rebuilt for the way you travel today.
The original Mango earned a loyal following by being simple, dependable and remarkably good value. Mango 2 keeps that same spirit while bringing the hardware and features up to date.

What Beta Testers are Saying
The GL.iNet Mango 2 delivers impressive performance for such a compact travel router. The 5GHz Wi-Fi performance is stellar, easily delivering over 600 Mbps down in the same room and solid 500+ Mbps coverage through drywalls.

I especially liked the flexibility of the Mango 2. Being able to use it as a travel router, repeater, or VPN client makes it a very useful little device. The Wi-Fi performance was also better than I expected for the hardware.
mniko_tech
At roughly the thickness of an Ethernet port, it slides effortlessly into a tech pouch or pocket without unnecessary bulk. The Mango 2 is an exceptional, pocketable travel companion for hotel rooms, public networks, and single-sign-on setups.

What I like most about the Mango 2 is the balance between portability and capability. It feels like a genuinely compact travel router without feeling like I’m giving up the features that make GL.iNet routers useful.

It’s the PERFECT hotel travel router. You can throw it into your bag, and it takes up very little space. Most hotels won’t have more than 40Mbps internet, and this works for both wireguard and openvpn at those speeds.

Best little and cute pocket router
"This mini router has quickly become something I don’t leave home without. Performance has been excellent and consistently meets my expectations. The build quality is impressive, with a solid, premium feel in the hand."
Toller Reiserouter mit kleinen Abstrichen
"Kleiner, toller Reiserouter. Leider mit eingeschränkten Funktionen (kein AdGuard...) und im Vergleich schwaches WLAN. Dafür punktet er mit seinen Abmaßen, Gewicht und Stromverbrauch."
Great improvements made with this new version.
"This unit seems to need less power than many of the earlier GL devices and can power a USB dongle happily off a normal 5w USB power source. It also supports older dongles such as the Huwaei k5161h which the older models struggled with. All in all I am very happy with the improvements and the size and performance of the unit."
"This product is exceptional. Exceeding my expectations. Most compact travel router I have ever owned. I had a pre-order which shipped a couple of days early. I had several pre and post order questions and I wish other companies would benchmark themselves again GL.iNet prompt and professional customer service that actually answer my specify questions. This is my 2nd purchase of one of their products and I am now a customer for life. I have probably had 6-8 different travel routers over the years."
Great Functionaility In Small Package
"Mango 2 is a great little travel router. Lots of functionality for such a small device. Can be simple with just going through the prompts for basic configuration, or if you want to go more in-depth it has got lots of features for the more technical. It is coming travelling with me in my cable bag, as it is much smaller than my Beryl AX which is also a great travel router, but needs much more space to store it. Speed does not matter so much when travelling, as hotel Wi-Fi is normally the bottleneck not the router. Was simple to set-up and joined it to Tailscale with no issues. Need to use LuCI to make a firewall setting change if you want it to be able to use an exit node on your Tailscale network. I rebooted the Mango, so that firewall rules reloaded fresh."
Schicker kleiner und preisgünstiger Reiserouter
"Ein schicker kleiner Reiserouter welcher wirklich in die Hosentasche passt. Seine Leistungsaufnahme beträgt im Repeatermodus bei maximaler Leistung zwischen 2.5W und 3.5W. Die Inbetriebnahme war problemlos, die Einstellungen sind ähnlich wie bei anderen GL-inet vorzunehmen. Luci ließ sich einfach installieren, größere Probleme sind mir bisher nicht aufgefallen. Zusammenfassung: Für diesen Preis hat GL-inet einen tollen Reiserouter mit brauchbarer und schneller Hardware herausgebracht. Selbstverständlich kann man bei diesem Preis keine High-Performance erwarten, für die gezeigte Leistung finde ich den Preis absolut angemessen."
Big speed improvement over the Mango 1
"I got this router on the pre-order discount and so far I am impressed with the speeds you get compared to the first Mango. Have a gigabit LAN connection that I am able to get 500Mbps through on WiFi, which is excellent for size/price. Of course, VPN and other services will throttle this down but still a huge upgrade over the original Mango. My only concern so far is that the device gets a bit warm with the CPU staying at 65-70 degrees, we'll see how this holds up. The other review downvoting because you don't get a screen is nonsense, that's really not required as it just adds bulk and price increase."
"Slow device performance, no screen to see what’s going on."
"Wifi is good"
Perfectly Portable
"Happy to be able to pack this tiny router in any sized bag for any length of trip. I travel with a half a dozen devices - they all connect easily to the Mango. Saves me so much time."
