smartialarts Deal Score0
A collection of these GL.iNet travel routers are back on sale and they’ve been quite popular previously. Chuppa did a really good comparison of specs between the models so I’ve shared that below.
These are particularly good due to OpenWrt compatibility, VPN support, Wireguard support, VLAN support and more. Possible use cases include AdGuard for network level adblocking, protecting yourself against unsafe networks such as hotel WiFi networks, or as dangerdanger describes a second WiFi network for the kids with Open DNS to filter out ‘bad’ content.
All routers are discounted with the exception of the GL-AXT1800 Slate AX where you must Redeem the 10% off coupon under the price.
