Pros
- Pocketable travel routers with built-in VPN support

- Excellent value and reliability
Cons

- Enthusiast features can tempt you down a happy rabbit hole.
The Verdict
A quietly brilliant networking brand: pocket routers with VPN and open firmware that punch well above their size and price.
GL.iNet makes compact travel routers and secure gateways with built-in VPN and flexible OpenWrt-based firmware. Reliable, affordable and endlessly configurable, they are a staple for travellers wanting safe Wi-Fi and for home-network tinkerers.

About this review
How this was written, who paid for what, and how the verdict stays independent.
Is this GL.iNet review sponsored?
No. The brand did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.
How was the GL.iNet assessed?
By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.
What else have you reviewed in Tech?
Everything in Tech sits in the review library, where you can filter by budget and sort by rating, price or how recently it landed.
Do you update reviews after publishing?
Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
