GL.iNet GL-BE3600 Slate 7 Wi-Fi 7 Travel Router Touchscreen 2.5G

I bought this to address a specific network issue I was experiencing between my main system and a MS Surface Pro.I needed a way to increase the bandwidth between these 2 devices, and also provide Internet. On both systems I installed USB-C 2.5GB network adapters. I set the WAN port to a LAN port, and plugged both systems in. I connected the router as a client to the WIFI.Now normally, when you have both an active WIFI and ethernet connection, the primary connection always defaults to the ethernet. I manually set the metric on my main system to default to the WIFI. On the surface, I disabled th

I travel frequently and this has become one of my must-pack items. The core use case is simple - you connect the Slate 7 to the hotel Wi-Fi once, and every device you have connects through it automatically, all tunneled through your VPN. No need to configure VPN on each device individually. That alone makes it worth it.Wi-Fi 7 in something this small is genuinely impressive. The dual 2.5G Ethernet ports are a nice touch for anyone who wants to go wired at a desk, and the USB-C power delivery means you can run it off the same charger you are already carrying for your laptop. The touchscreen mak

Professional network.engineer and lifelong IT enthusiast. I do not consider myself especially knowledgeable about radio, though I do manage 70+ APs.This little device is so darn impressive. I have two other Wifi 7 routers, both from TP Link, one enthusiast and another top end. I'll say, this little GL.iNet is so much better in terms of usability. It was so easy to setup, is very flexible, USB C powered, has features I've never seen on consumer grade products before.I expected some things to be lost in translation, but not at all... Everything is perfect English, with proper context. The web UI

The GL.iNet Slate 7 is hands down my favorite travel router. It’s small, super functional and easy to set up, and gives me total peace of mind when I’m using sketchy hotel or airport Wi-Fi. I just connect through my VPN, and boom—everything’s secure. No more worrying about who’s snooping on the network. The router looks very cool, specially with the screen functionality. I love that it automatically reconnects to my VPN wherever I go, and it handles all my devices without breaking a sweat. The range is impressive and the speeds are solid, even when I’m streaming or working remotely. The interf

I bought the Slate 7 for my hotel stays and frequent business trips, and it is easily the most powerful travel router I have ever used. Having Wi Fi 7 and dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports in something this compact is incredible. Setup was a breeze, and I love that it runs on standard USB C Power Delivery. I can power it straight from my laptop charger or a heavy duty power bank without hunting for a specific voltage adapter. The built in VPN client and OpenWRT interface make it perfect for bypassing hotel captive portals and keeping all my devices secure on public networks.​The only reason I am

I recently purchased the GL.iNet GL-BE3600 (Slate 7) and it’s quickly become an essential travel companion.What I Love:• Blazing-fast Dual-Band Wi Fi 7: Up to ~688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and ~2882 Mbps on 5 GHz, allowing seamless streaming and fast browsing.• Portable Touchscreen Interface: The intuitive color-coded touchscreen makes switching modes, scanning networks, and toggling VPNs very easy.• VPN Support: Built-in OpenVPN & WireGuard offer strong security and impressive VPN performance (up to ~540 Mbps with WireGuard).• Dual 2.5 Gb Ethernet + USB 3.0: Offers flexibility for wired connections an

I really like this travel router. Working as expected. Initial router configuration was a bit tricky/confusing at the beginning, but I was able to figure out the best way to use it or connect. I tried to do the setup using both, the Glinet app, and my MAC with Chrome Internet browser. I found it was easier to configure the router directly by just using the Glinet app. Also it is better to do it this way to get used to the Glinet app since this router will be used as a travel router connected most of the time to my iPhone. My configuration is this travel router with my iPhone 16 Pro Max (AT&T s

I run my own IT business. Since discovering GL.iNet I have absolutely fallen in love with their products. The slate 7 was like falling in love all over againFor starters I really appreciate the rigidity that they added to the antennas, the sleek look is in my opinion a much better upgrade, it looks more futuristic to match the new Wi-Fi 7 technology. And then more importantly, while yes I do buy these products for myself, I also sell them to clients as IT solutions. What really sells me on this specific product is how easy it is for me to hand this to someone with absolutely no tech literacy a
