I picked up the GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 (Opal) Travel WiFi Router for added security and convenience while traveling, and it has quickly become an essential gadget for me.
Pros:
✅ Compact & Lightweight (5/5): This router is small enough to fit in my pocket or backpack, making it perfect for travel. It doesn’t take up much space and is easy to carry around.
✅ Easy Setup (5/5): The setup process is super simple—just plug it in, follow the user-friendly interface, and you’re good to go in minutes. Even if you're not tech-savvy, the instructions are clear and straightforward.
✅ Secure Public WiFi (5/5): One of the main reasons I got this router was for extra security when using public WiFi. It acts as a middle layer between my devices and the public network, reducing risks of hacking and data theft.
✅ Dual-Band WiFi (5/5): With AC1200 speeds, it provides solid performance on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. The Gigabit Ethernet port is also a nice bonus when I need a wired connection.
✅ Repeater & Bridge Mode (5/5): Works well in hotels, airports, and cafes, where I can extend WiFi signals or create my own private network.
✅ Supports OpenWRT & VPN (5/5): It supports OpenVPN & WireGuard, which means I can use my own VPN service for extra privacy. Great for bypassing geo-restrictions when traveling internationally.
✅ Reliable Performance (4.5/5): Handles multiple devices at once without lag. Streaming and browsing work smoothly, though I wouldn’t expect it to handle heavy gaming or 4K streaming on many devices at once.
Cons:
⚠️ Limited Range (4/5): Works great for a single hotel room or small space, but don’t expect long-range coverage—this is meant for portability, not whole-house networking.
⚠️ No Built-In Battery (4.5/5): It needs to be plugged in via USB-C, which isn’t a huge issue, but a built-in battery would have been nice for true portability.
⚠️ Not Ideal for High-Speed Streaming (4/5): While it's fast for general use, don’t expect top-tier speeds if you have a super-fast gigabit connection—this is a travel router, not a high-end home router.
Final Verdict:
The GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 (Opal) is an amazing travel router for those who value security, portability, and ease of use. It’s perfect for business travelers, frequent flyers, and anyone who needs a safe, private network while on the go.

Perfect for working remotely!
Bought for my wife to use at a hotel that didn't have ethernet port in the room. She works remotely and specifically needs ethernet connection for her work phone. This product was easy to set up, just connect to hotel wifi and hook up ethernet cable on provided port. Amazing! Small and light, perfect for travel

rack mount wifi routers are in the 200$ range. this has a very small foot print, portable and works well. the setup interface is easy to use too
great for those needing wifi for your digital mixer
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2025
its nice it can be powered by usb c just not usb 5v (too weak, itll power but not enough to be detected by wifi)
i would not use this is a live event though unless its small as you may experience signal loss with everyone else in the "crowd" using 2.4 and 5 on their phones

Excelente para portales captivos de hoteles y/o Starbucks
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
El GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 ha sido una compra increíble para mis viajes y necesidades de conectividad. Lo mejor de todo es que me ha permitido conectarme de forma fácil y segura en lugares como Starbucks o en hoteles que utilizan portales cautivos. En estos lugares, solo me conecto al router, ingreso los datos de acceso del portal (como los de Starbucks o del hotel) y automáticamente la red se vuelve libre para conectar todos mis dispositivos sin problemas. ¡Es un alivio no tener que estar reconectando o lidiando con la conexión cada vez que entro o salgo de la red!Enrique JimenezExcelente para portales captivos de hoteles y/o Starbucks

Además, me encanta que puedo conectarlo a una VPN, lo que me permite mantener una conexión super segura mientras navego por internet, especialmente cuando estoy usando redes WiFi públicas o poco confiables. Esto me da mucha más tranquilidad, ya que puedo proteger mi información personal y navegar de manera privada.
El enrutador también tiene doble banda WiFi, lo que me asegura una conexión rápida y estable para todo lo que necesito hacer, desde trabajar hasta disfrutar de contenido en streaming. Su tamaño compacto lo hace perfecto para llevarlo en mi mochila sin que ocupe mucho espacio, y su instalación es tan sencilla que no tengo que preocuparme por configuraciones complicadas.
En resumen, el enrutador es una solución perfecta para mantenerme conectado y seguro en mis viajes. Es fácil de usar, seguro, y muy versátil. Lo recomiendo totalmente a cualquiera que necesite un enrutador confiable para viajes o uso diario. ¡Una compra que vale cada centavo!
Otro punto muy importante es que ahora puedo jugar en los hoteles, ver peliculas con mi google tv, una maravilla. El portal es sencillo e intuitivo.
