Product Description

Slate - Gigabit Internet for Security-savvy Travelers

It’s often for a frequent traveler to use Wi-Fi in public places. The problem with public Wi-Fi is that you are inviting a whole host of different security risks. Slate, a gigabit travel router, is designed for security-savvy travelers who want their security being completely locked down no matter where they are.

Slate router (GL-AR750S-Ext)

vpnR

Private Cloud

DNS over TLS

30+ Commercial VPN Provider Compatibility

Got a commercial VPN provider that you really like? No problem, there’s more than 25+ VPNs compatible with our pre-installed OpenVPN client. OpenVPN is a tried-and-true software, and a common standard for security-minded VPN users. WireGuard is based on a concept called Cryptokey Routing. This is an impressive new technology that’s worth trying if you’re looking for performance boosts beyond what OpenVPN can provide. It’s a much faster security protocol than OpenVPN; WireGuard VPN can clock 68Mbps, compared to OpenVPN that can only hit 17Mbps.

Connects Multiple Workplaces Seamlessly

Slate Comes with Pre-installed VPN server and client functions in WireGuard and OpenVPN. With Slate, you can bring all your workplaces together with a single, secure private cloud with OpenVPN or WireGuard. Don’t worry about changing your network when you change your workplace. You won’t need to reconfigure and reconnect all your devices as well; they’ll all connect automatically each time you fire up your Slate.

Pre-Configured Cloudflare DNS Over TLS

This option uses the TLS security protocol for encrypting DNS queries, which helps increase privacy and prevent eavesdropping. When it comes to browsing privacy, DNS is often the weak link in the chain. Having Cloudflare DNS over TLS is a new feature, previously only possible with professional modification of your router. The Slate comes with this feature baked in; it’s as easy as flipping the toggle in the user interface.

Slate is designed for frequent travelers, it is therefore both compact and lightweight. It can easily slip into a backpack, or even your pocket and take it with you anywhere.

small travel router, VPN client will struggle to reach 15 Mbs over VPN, but 130 Mbs without VPN
4 Stars
small travel router, VPN client will struggle to reach 15 Mbs over VPN, but 130 Mbs without VPN
This small travel router with a footprint just larger than a credit card is powered via microUSB that draws between 0.4A - 0.6 A so you may not need to use the original 2A brick. I'd test any alternate power source as well as the cable; there are many cheap USB cables that struggle to deliver 1A current. WAN & LAN ports are 1GB Ethernet ports.Firmware is a bit buggy, client settings to my VPN provider disappeared at times and then only reappeared after a reboot. Scanning for new networks revealed nothing at times until after a reboot.WiFi performance: on a 250 Mbs connection, this was able to achieve 130 Mbs connected to a 5GHz source with only 1 5GHz client connected connected to the Slate on speedtest. Connecting the WAN port directly to the modem provided WiFi 5GHz speed topping out at 165 Mbs. Enabling the VPN and connecting to my VPN provider, dropped the WiFi speed down to 13 Mbs (I tested more than 15 different speedtest servers, and most results were only high single digits). I was able to still stream 3 HD and one 720, but adding a 5th video stream at 720 caused buffering on 2 of the steaming devices. So for a family of 4 sharing an internet connection at a hotel/timeshare, as long as the connection at the resort is fast enough, everyone should be able watch their own video stream over the shared VPN connection (but not everyone will be watching a different movie at the same time, so this should suffice). If not using the VPN, then this was able to to achieve 130 Mbs with 1 client. Connecting 8 clients (7 streaming videos, and 1 speedtest), this router still delivered close to 100 Mbs on speedtest from a test site which was known to provide a 250 Mbs connection.If the firmware was less buggy and it had a faster processor, then this would get 5 stars. But as it stands, I don't think there are any other companies that have a small form factor AC router that has both WISP & a OpenVPN Client, OpenVPN Server, Winguard VPN Client, and Winguard VPN Server. This does NOT support L2TP VPN Protocol. There are a variety of other functions this supports, but don't expect all the bells and whistles as a traditional full size home router. As for WinGuard VPN Protocol, although it seems to be very efficient, there appears to be NO commercial VPN service providers who support this VPN protocol at this time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Travel Router!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 10, 2022
I have taken another brand of travel router on holiday with me for a number of years and wouldn't be without one. They are super useful to set up your own wifi network to connect multiple devices too if your hotel wifi restricts the amount of logins you can have.

Due to my old travel router not having a facility to employ a VPN connection i decided it was time for an upgrade. After lots of research GL.iNet seemed like a very good brand to try, so i placed my order.

I went for the AR750S model due to the fact it also had 5Ghz and extra LAN ports. The router runs on OpenWRT which is a highly customisable opensource router firmware. It allows for several VPN options along with a host of other fully customisable features.

Setup of this router was an absolutely breeze. The GUI is simple and effective. You can connect in Bridge mode/Repeater mode or directly to a WAN socket and use as a primary router. I set up in repeater mode with an openVPN profile to securely connect to my home network. It was simple, quick and worked great!
With a VPN connection i can use my phone/ipad/firestick whilst abroad to logon too UK streaming sites just like i was at home and without any geo locking restrictions.

There are a ton of extra options within the router software, many i will know doubt never use, however it is great to have the availability of these if i wish to try out other things.

The device is super small, in fact much smaller than i expected. Easily portable enough to take in hand luggage or even your stick in your pocket.

The only thing i would have really liked (especially for the cost of this device) is a battery powered option. My other travel router has a decent 10000mAh battery and that lasts me all day... it equally means the router is more portable for roaming networks. The negative to this router is it needs a USB power supply to work... however i will try this with a battery pack and see if that works - it just means if it does, it's something extra i would have to carry rather than an all in one unit.

So do i recommend this product? Without question yes! It's a fantastic super customisable travel router. I love it!

I hope that you found my review helpful.

This router is a Swiss Army knife, the possibilities are unlimited. The machine is fast and powerful. Even with the super heavy openvpn configurations.

With 128 MB ram and 128 MB flash memory, there is a lot of space for experimentation with openwrt package’s.

I run even Adguard Home on this machine, and still have a lot of free space.

I’m flabbergasted :)
