what's more important is to have a easy recovery process to flash firmware back when things happen, and i think GL did the recovery process part right if you ever have to flash it.
anyhow, the performance is day and night better than the MT300A
for my particular setup, without openVPN, i got about 330 Mbps, with vpn running on laptop (core i9), about 190Mbps, with GL and client both over WIFI i got around 90 Mbps, with GL on wifi but client on CAT 5, the speed is around 120Mbps (since GL will have to both transmit and receive in WIFI mode, the test over WIFI will be bottlencked by the wifi module not the processor). quite impressive.
This model supports EAP and allows you to log into hotel/school wifi network that requires login
$89.99 - $15 coupon = $75~ + tax
The new device I will preconfigure with my home vpn/torguard/windscribe/tailscale and adguard home.
These are great like others have said if you have a lot of IT devices and don't want to have to spend time configuring them all to connect to a given Wi-Fi. I even use it when I go over to friends and family members houses And have my tech bag.
The major advantage to this over your phones hotspot, is this won't use the limited data that you're given with a hotspot. And you have security for all your devices and remote access out of the box. It's ahuge time saver.
I work as a tech support specialist, with that said, please flesh out the advantages of using our Beryl AX router over let's say connection a USB drive to my friend's laptop and connecting one's laptop to their wifi to perform troubleshooting. Thanks.
On the other hand, I have used several generations of glinet and the others worked well. (Mango, Slate, slate plus)
The free case says it's only if you buy a certain model # and beryl AX was not part of the list.

I do like the device, by the way. I actually like it enough to upgrade to a "non travel" router because of the new router having faster VPN throughput.
The way to tell how old your product is: check your firmware and compare to the current version. If it is current or maybe one minor version behind or two, it is pretty current. When I received my Slate plus (from amazon) it was 1 minor version behind. e.g. If V3.12 is latest, V3.11 is one minor version behind, V2.01 is a major version behind
I do not know anything about this router. Can this be useful to use in home also as daily router since this has built in open VPN and adguard. I am this question since everyone is saying as this is a travel router. Is this just built for light work for sometimes travelling? My question is, can we use daily in our home and use when needed to travel as well? I was planning to seup raspberry pi for using open VPN and adguard. Can this be an alternate and better than using raspberry pi?
