GL.iNet Slate 7 BE3600 Travel Router: Wi-Fi 7 on the Go
What Beta Tester are Saying
I think I'm in love with the new compact power supply... The Slate7 with the touch screen 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.
