I bought the GL.iNet Comet PoE (GL-RM1PE) as a way to access my PC remotely, and it has been absolutely fantastic. Once set up, I can fully control my machine over the internet as if I were sitting right in front of it – including BIOS, boot screens and when the OS has frozen. For managing a system that isn’t always physically accessible, this is a game changer.
I also bought the Fingerbot with it, and it works perfectly alongside the Comet. The combination gives me reliable remote power control as well as full KVM access, and in practice it’s the simplest and most complete way I’ve found to access a PC or laptop remotely. Everything has just worked exactly as expected with no weird glitches or complicated workarounds.
The hardware feels solid and well thought out, and once you follow the instructions, the setup is straightforward and clearly documented. The web interface is clean, responsive and easy to use, and the video quality and responsiveness are more than good enough for everyday maintenance, updates and troubleshooting.
Overall, I’m extremely impressed. If you need proper, reliable remote access to a machine – far beyond what normal remote desktop software can offer – this little box (especially paired with Fingerbot) is an excellent solution. I’m delighted with my purchase and would strongly recommend it.
