GL-MT300N-V2 (Mango) Wireless Mini Portable VPN Travel Router, Mobile Hotspot in Pocket, WiFi Repeater Bridge, Range Extender, OpenVPN Client, 300Mbps High Performance, 128MB RAM

OK, so this was a quick buy for me as my VPN router at home got config corrupted and I was stuck without VPN. I had read some of the reviews regarding the OpenVPN option on this device being easy to set up and I can honestly say I was sceptical that this tiny little box could delivery what I needed while my VPN router is out for repairs. I was not disappointed, the reviews are 100% correct and VPN setup on this tiny kit was seamless to setup and working perfectly. Packaging: The product packaging was good and everything you need to get started is in the box. What I got in the box: 1 x GL-MT300N-V2 Mini Travel Router 1 x 1 USB Power Cable 1 x RJ-45 Flat Ethernet Cable 1 x User Manual Setup: The tiny router is connected via the its WAN port directly to a LAN port on my BT Hub5 router. The cool thing is that it takes its power via USB so its gets it power directly from the USB port on the back of my BT Hub5 this makes it a very clean and tidy setup. The software is nice and simple and is easy to use and play around with. I downloaded the VyprVPN openvpn config file and uploaded it to the router. Selected my preferred location and connected pretty quickly. The only thing that is missing from this device for me is to be able to disable the VPN to specific devices on the network. At this stage I have to use my BT Hub5 for all my devices that don’t need connecting to the VPN on that network while are other devices that require VPN access now connect to the tiny router. It’s not that much of a big deal over all but it’s nice to be able to manage all network devices on one single router than having devices connected to 2 separate routers which doesn’t helps with network management and network security over all. Performance: I have been using the router for a few weeks now and honestly I have not seen any disconnections or network latency. I have done several network tests after setting it up and I was get accurate speeds that reflect the same speeds I get from my BT Hub5. I actually cant believe this tiny router has such great performance. Once switched over to VyprVPN the speeds test reflect a solid 12Mbps download speed and 7Mbps upload speed needless to say I was very impressed. The VPN speeds are slightly faster that my damaged VPN router which cost me around 150 pounds. If you are using this device just for VPN, this is a all or nothing router, either all devices connected to the tiny router are connected to the VPN or none are connected if the VPN is turned off. Pros: * Good Quality * Easy Setup * Cheap * Fast * Multipurpose * Tiny * Supports OpenVPN Cons: I personally haven’t had any issues with this device. I would have like to be able to manage all my devices on one network, but this more a personal want and not any fault the software or the device. Conclusion: This is an awesome device and I can’t believe what you get for the price. I am not using this router as a travel companion but as temporary VPN router while my router is getting repaired. It’s been a life saver for me and I would highly recommend this router if you are looking for a travel router or a static VPN router at home or even in a small office environments.

There is no doubt that this is a seriously useful piece of kit for such a small amount of money. The features you get for a tiny £20 box are incredible. It may be advertised as a travel router and it works very well as one, but that is just the tip of the iceberg... I use mine mainly at home as an OpenVPN router to push any traffic I need through NordVPN servers. It sits behind my BT SmartHub and connects directly from its WAN socket into one of the BT Hub's LAN sockets via a short ethernet cable and is even powered from the 0.5amp 5volt USB port on the rear of the BT router. It is very easy to setup with NordVPN .ovpn config files from their website. I have tried a few VPN providers but have found Nord to be the best in both value for money (if you pay for 12 months upfront then it is seriously good value) and for the shear number of servers in so many different countries. It is also extremely reliable and fast. It works with GL.iNet products like this one seamlessly. I have also used this router as a WiFi extender/repeater which works extremely well (far better than expected) and also allows you to use Open VPN configs while doing so which is really handy. It is mega useful if you need to use a free hotspot or free hotel wifi connection while traveling and secures your data and gets around website and usage blocks. If you are outside your home country and want to access content restricted by location (like TV or News streaming like BBC iPlayer from the UK) or want to access content at home from a different country then this has you covered by using OpenVPN configs to route you through the country of your choice. It is great for plugging a USB drive into for sharing files securely over your network from it. I have also used the smartphone tethering and 3G/4G modem features which are both a great feature for securely using and/or sharing a mobile data connection. It uses very little power and so with the addition of a USB power bank it makes it easy to have setup anywhere. I have a 10,000mah Juice brick and it keeps it running for several days solidly. If you want to delve deeper into the advanced settings then there are a ton more options, features and plugins already pre-installed and also available to download to upload to and use this device for more advanced and specialist uses. I know that you can open the case and access plenty of other connections for other uses. I think there is even an external antenna socket inside on the PCB that is useable. I did own a previous version/model of a GL.iNet router a couple of years ago and at the time it was unreliable and was prone to crashing and connection issues. I am VERY happy that they have addressed all those issues and every feature I have tried on this model over the past 3 months work perfectly and with the latest firmware all have been resolved 100% and this is now a solid piece of kit that is in my opinion a must have device even if you only use it as a simple travel router. Finally... They have just released the full latest revision of the firmware for these boxes to download and install OTA and I have just let it upgrade to the version 3.011 from 2.xxx and it really improves on everything. It is more streamlined, easier to use and even more feature packed. This has made this £20 box even more powerful and useful. I can't recommend this device highly enough! It will change how you use the internet. It does the job of boxes that can cost you 10x the amount of money just as well.

The stock firmware looked quite slick with an integrated DDNS service & VPN support but as I immediately replaced it with OpenWrt 21.02.2 I can't comment more on that. The unit itself is very nicely put together and tiny. I was quickly able to connect it as a client via the LAN port to a hotel WiFi network and simultaneously run both my secure & DMZ WiFi access point SSIDs through via WireGuard to both of my home & office gateways. The only slight issue I had was it spontaneously rebooting under load but when I stopped using the charger that came with my Samsung A52 phone to power it in favour of a U-Green PD one that seems to be solved. Excellent little gadget and I suspect I'll be buying one of GL-iNet's more powerful dual-band offerings soon. Update: Having obtained a USB power monitor it appears that even with a USB thumb-drive connected and both wifi WAN client & LAN access point active it draws no more that 250mA at 5V. With a Samsung A52 plugged into the USB being charged & acting as the WAN interface this goes up to around 700mA. Updated 2023-03-27 I've been using this router on my travels for a while now and continued to upgrade it to the latest OpenWrt (22.03.3 at present). Even with a GaN USB PSU it still exhibits some instabilities when used as both an access point and a client onto hotel wifi, especially where that wifi is a little sub-par, crashing when changing settings sometimes for example. The wifi phy only supports four simultaneous AP and client configurations which is a little constrained for my purposes but at the price it's still a good device. However I'm planning to upgrade to one of GL.iNet's dual-band devices with uSD & more powerful CPU as soon as I get home.

I set one up as a wifi repeater to extend wifi range on a second floor of a house. Note that it is a repeater and not an extender, so it appears as a new wifi network rather than just extending the range of an existing network, but the effect is otherwise the same once you connect devices on the second storey to the new wifi network. This is actually how you might use it in a hotel or public wifi area to add an extra layer of security (connect to the wifi firewall router which is then protecting you before passing the connection through to public wifi, especially if you use the VPN feature). Interface made sense. Not 100% perfect but intuitive enough to figure out. No Ethernet connection required for setup. Very good device for the money.

Since July 2018, I have acquired six GL-iNet routers, and I can say without hesitation that these are some of the finest networking devices I have ever owned. Within their price range they are a class of it's own . My collection includes: - **1× GL-XE300 (Puli)** – Compact 4G LTE router (purchased July 2018) - **1× GL-X750 (Spitz)** – Versatile cellular router (purchased May 2022) - **1× GL-X1200 (Amarok)** – Dual-band wireless industrial gateway (purchased May 2022) - **1× GL-X3000 (Spitz AX)** – Their flagship 5G Wi-Fi 6 cellular gateway (purched June 2023) - **2× GL-MT300N-V2 (Mango)** – Ultra-portable travel routers (most recent purchase, December 2025) Over seven years as a loyal customer, every single one of these devices has exceeded my expectations in terms of build quality, functionality, and longevity. Outstanding Technical Support – They Go Above and Beyond What truly sets GL-iNet apart from other networking companies is their exceptional customer support, here are two concrete examples: Custom OpenWRT Compilation Support When I needed a specific OpenWRT configuration for my GL-X1200, the support team didn't simply point me to documentation and wish me luck. Instead, they worked with me directly to create a custom OpenWRT configuration that I could compile and flash onto the device. This level of technical engagement is unheard of from most hardware vendors. Persistent Problem-Solving With my GL-X3000, I encountered a frustrating SIM card compatibility issue with my German provider. The support team invested many hours working through the problem with me, meticulously testing different configurations and modem settings until we resolved the issue. Their patience and technical expertise were remarkable. They treated my problem as their problem until it was solved. The support staff are friendly, respond quickly, and possess genuine technical depth. They don't read from scripts – they understand their products at the firmware level. Hardware Quality and Durability These routers are built to last. Until this day I am still using the GL-X750 in my motorhome. Firmware Updates and Long-Term Support GL-iNet provides firmware updates for several years after product launch, which is increasingly rare in the networking industry. They actively patch security vulnerabilities and add new features. But here's the real beauty: even when GL-iNet officially ends firmware support for a product, you're not left with abandoned hardware. All their routers are based on OpenWRT, and the community maintains OpenWRT images available on GitHub that extend the useful life for most of these devices for many more years. You can continue running secure, updated firmware long after most consumer routers would have become e-waste. The GL-X3000's Game-Changing eSIM Feature The GL-X3000 (Spitz AX) deserves special mention for its exceptional eSIM management capabilities. Using GL-iNet's physical eSIM card, you can store multiple eSIM profiles on a single card and switch between them through the admin panel. This is invaluable for: - Travellers who need connectivity across multiple countries - Anyone wanting to avoid expensive roaming charges - Users who want to switch carriers without physically swapping SIM cards - Privacy-conscious users who can purchase eSIM profiles anonymously The profile management is intuitive – you simply scan a QR code from your eSIM provider, download the profile to your router, and enable it when needed. I've used this feature extensively across Europe with excellent results. OpenWRT Foundation – Power User Paradise Every GL-iNet router runs on OpenWRT with their user-friendly interface layered on top. This gives you the best of both worlds: - **For beginners**: A polished, intuitive web interface that makes VPN setup, repeater configuration, and basic settings accessible to anyone - **For power users**: Full LuCI access and the ability to install additional OpenWRT packages, SSH into the device, and customize everything Want to run AdGuard Home, Tailscale, WireGuard, or ZeroTier? It's either built-in or installable. This flexibility is unmatched by most mainstream consumer routers. Conclusion If you're looking for networking hardware that combines professional-grade features, open-source flexibility, exceptional build quality, and genuinely helpful technical support, GL-iNet is the answer. These routers have earned a permanent place in my network infrastructure. After six routers and over seven years of continuous use – from my first GL-XE300 in 2018 to my newest GL-MT300N-V2 just last week – my only regret is not discovering GL-iNet sooner.
