One of the most reliable travel router as a digital nomad! Affordable and fast connectivity.

I use the GL.iNet GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX) every time I travel, and it’s honestly a must-have for me as a digital nomad. It’s small enough to fit in my bag, but the performance is impressive for its size. The Wi-Fi 6 speed is fast and reliable, even when I’m connecting multiple devices at once. I love having my own secure network no matter where I’m staying hotels, Airbnbs, or cafés. Setup was straightforward, and once it’s configured, it’s very easy to use on the go. The connection feels stable and gives me peace of mind when working remotely. This router has made traveling and working online so much easier, and I wouldn’t travel without it now. Definitely worth it if you’re working on the road.

Great Travel Router. And Emergency Home Network!

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2025

Number of Items: 1Verified Purchase

UPDATE January 2026: Confirm it works at Edinburgh Airport.

UPDATE December 2025: Confirmed that it worked perfectly with the free airport WiFi at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).

Also works perfectly at London Heathrow Terminal 5 (no need for any sign in here).

UPDATE December 2025: Our Internet provider lost WiFi to the entire area today. I tethered my phone to the Beryl and had Internet to everything in the house in a minute. Absolutely brilliant piece of kit. Yes, slower than my normal but 90mbs download still plenty fast enough. Life saver!

Great little travel router at a good price. It is very compact and easy to carry. It comes with a USB power adapter along with various connectors for US, UK plug sockets. I don't bother to carry these as it is powers up from any USB C source. I have used it plugged direct into my MacBook Air and also my Anker 5,000 portable power bank. Both have worked perfectly so I would rather carry the power bank than the power brick! Setting it up was very simple. Do it at home first though as you will need a Firmware update. I have ExpressVPN and I downloaded the necessary files and connections in a couple of minutes – the instructions are easy to follow. Along with changing the side switch to turn on the VPN. When you rename the 2.4 and 5GHz ignore the various YouTube videos – just give them both the same name, it works perfectly. It is easy to turn on AdGuard or other various encrypted DNS options etc. but be aware this may affect you trying to connect at an airport etc. Turn on the encrypted stuff after you are connected to the WiFi. Overall it seems a very well built piece of kit, with very easy software. Most impressed.

Great little router, even if a little expensive.

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2025

Number of Items: 1Verified Purchase

I got this for a few reasons, and so far am happy with it.

The primary reason I got this was for a router in my RV that I could connect a mini-PC to for running my astrophotography setup. This lets me setup the system and the mini-PC automatically gets a fixed IP so I can remote desktop into it from inside the trailer on my laptop. This worked great in my testing this past week. Easy to setup, good signal, and does everything I want.

The second reason I got this is as a temporary backup router for home. With the ability to tether through my phone it would be an option to provide Internet access if my cable modem goes down for any reason. That doesn't happen very often, but it is nice to have the backup. While I haven't had to use it, I have tested it out and everything worked great.

Along those lines, sometimes when we are camping better cellular coverage is available outside of the RV. I can set this out with a battery pack and my phone, providing better signal to my laptop.

Lastly, I'll likely start traveling more for work, so this will go along with me. I've configured this with both ZeroTier to connect to my home network, and also with a VPN provider, and it works great. I have the switch on the side configured to enable/disable connection to my VPN provider, so everything on the router goes through VPN. This will be great when I am in a hotel on travel. Not only will this keep my laptop and phone off the hotel network directly, it will also secure all of my connections with VPN, offering another layer of protection. While I've tested this functionality at home, I haven't yet been able to put it to use.

Setting up the GL-MT3000 was a breeze. The user-friendly interface and clear instructions made the process quick and painless. Within minutes, I had a secure and stable internet connection. The router’s compact size is another major advantage, fitting easily into my bag and making it an ideal travel companion.

What sets the Beryl AX apart is its impressive feature set. It includes robust security options, such as VPN support and advanced encryption, ensuring that my data remains safe and private no matter where I am. The ability to switch between different modes, like router, repeater, and access point, adds to its versatility.

Excellent Portable Wi-Fi 6 Router for Travel and Advanced Users

Reviewed in Italy on January 29, 2026

Number of Items: 1Verified Purchase

I bought this router to boost my Wi-Fi connection in order to use a vr properly without any frame rate problems and it was a fantastic solution!
The GL-MT3000 is an outstanding compact router that delivers impressive performance considering its small size. Thanks to Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) support, the connection is fast, stable, and noticeably more efficient than older travel routers, even with multiple devices connected simultaneously.
One of the strongest points of this device is its built-in VPN support (OpenVPN and WireGuard), which makes it ideal for travelers, remote workers, and privacy-conscious users. The ability to act as both a VPN client and server is a huge advantage and works reliably. Security features like WPA3 and modern DNS options add further peace of mind.
Despite its advanced capabilities, the setup is straightforward for basic use, while more experienced users can take full advantage of the OpenWrt-based firmware to customize the network in depth. The router is lightweight, well built, and easy to carry, making it perfect for hotels, shared networks, or temporary home setups.
Overall, the GL-MT3000 offers an excellent balance of performance, portability, and advanced features. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a powerful travel router or a flexible compact networking solution.

A Must-Have for Frequent Travellers – Super Handy Wireless Travel Router

Reviewed in Australia on July 29, 2025

Number of Items: 1Verified Purchase

I'm not someone who usually leaves reviews, but I felt it was worth commenting on this particular item – the wireless travel router.

I haven’t explored many of the advanced features (like VPN or file sharing), but for my needs, this device has been near perfect. I’ve been travelling between hotels and Airbnbs lately, and I use it as a bridge for the internet provided at each place. The big win for me is being able to set my WiFi name and password to match what I use at home, so all my devices connect automatically without needing to reconfigure them at every stop.

Whether it’s my laptop, iPad, or phone, everything just works the moment I arrive and plug it in. It handles hotel login portals easily, whether it’s through a username and password or a web-based login. It also works fine with cabled internet connections.

The signal range is much better than I expected for such a compact device. It’s whisper quiet, uses minimal power, and the user interface is simple and straightforward. It makes hopping from one accommodation to another much less painful from a tech setup perspective.

If I had one minor complaint, it's that I can't find an option to view the total data usage across all connected devices. You can see individual device usage, which is helpful, but I’d love to be able to reset and track total data used per location – especially when dealing with limited WiFi quotas in Airbnbs or hotels.

That aside, I’d highly recommend this device for anyone who travels regularly with multiple devices. It’s affordable, efficient, and genuinely makes life on the road a lot easier.
