    5.0 out of 5 stars Small but powerful, a must for travelers
    Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2024
    The GL.iNet GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX) has quickly become essential to my travel kit. This pocket-sized Wi-Fi 6 wireless travel router packs an impressive array of features into a compact design, making it perfect for staying connected on the go. Despite its small size, the Beryl AX offers robust performance, delivering fast and reliable internet access whether I’m in a hotel, airport, or any other location with spotty Wi-Fi.

    I love that it supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. The setup is straightforward, and the interface is user-friendly, allowing me to configure and secure my network quickly. The router also supports OpenVPN and WireGuard, providing an extra layer of security, which is a must when using public Wi-Fi.

    One of the standout features is its multi-gigabit Ethernet port, which is perfect for creating a reliable wired connection when needed. Another big plus is the ability to share a VPN connection across all my devices with minimal effort. The USB-C powered GL-MT3000’s compact size means it fits easily into my bag or even a pocket, making it incredibly convenient for travel. Overall, it’s a powerful and versatile travel router that I highly recommend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The only way to travel with family and multiple devices
    Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2024
    With us being very concerned with public WiFi and the lack of security we usually avoid using any hot spots and I have configured our phones and laptops with a personal VPN when using those services. The downside is that the VPN clients on these devices will drain the battery and there is cost per device using that service.

    With the GL.iNet travel router with the bult in VPN service you only connect to the public WiFi and then launch the VPN on the router itself. Our phones and laptops connect to a secure local connection to the router, which then goes over the VPN which is encrypted over the public WiFi. This was easy to configure and worked well.

    I didn't have a chance to test at home since the router arrived the day of travel so I quickly did a VPN configuration (WireGuard) that I would enable at the location. Once I was at our destination I plugged in the router and also connected my laptop to the SSID and key using the ones printed on the side of the router. I then created new SSID and key that I would share with the family. The next step was to connect to the WiFi since there was no ethernet at our location and I was able to scan and connect with no issues. The last piece was to put in the WireGuard VPN configuration and activate the VPN which was really easy. The VPN activated on the first try and then tested with my laptop and was able to get to all my sites and services. I then shared the SSID and Key on the family devices and they were all able to connect as well. We had a total of 8 devices running against one connection over the VPN.

    There are lot more features in this router but for us it was about being secured in the public WiFi space. The router can become a NAS, can use Ethernet as the WAN connection, and also you can use a cell phone USB tethered if no other services are available.

    What I really liked: Price, compact, easy to setup, USB C powered, up to date software

    What I would suggest in improvements: For some reason even though the access point for WiFi was in our room the GL.iNet GL-MT3000 seemed to favor 2.4 GHz over 5 GHz. I clicked on the connection type and was able to force 5 GHz in the WAN settings. The router by default separates the 5 GHz from 2.4 GHz by using separate SSID's. I always preferred to combine both into one SSID and let my devices determine the best one to use. When I configured the local WiFi id did just that in the configuration of our new SSID.

    I would recommend anyone that travels with family and needs to share and secure their internet devices to take a hard look at using the GL.iNet GL-MT3000.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Travel Router - CRUISERS MUST HAVE
    Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2023
    I travel and cruise often. I am an attorney and usually have to work for some portion of my travel, and having internet availability is crucial. I am also creating video content for a youtube channel and my work. When I am working I usually need to have more than one electronic device hooked up at the same time. For cruisers we all know that you pay per device so I am usually switching between devices, and that gets tiring.

    I have used several different travel routers (like ravPower and TP-Link) to different levels of success. However, the common factor is that the travel router usually deminishes the signal and speed coming in (and going out) so that even if I hooked up one device the connection speed would drop by more than half. For cruising that meant deathly slow connections.

    RavPower made me so frustrated on my last cruise by shutting off and on and disconnecting and reconnecting constantly. I simply couldn't use it. TP-Link works better, but its effectiveness decreases significantly (in speed) when there is a distance between the modem and where I am working, making it useless at times.

    I bought the MT3000-Beryl AX because I had an upcoming cruise and had to work a lot, including having a Zoom hearing. I tested it at home and it was amazing, but the home doesn't pose the connection issues found on a cruise ship. I boarded Royal Caribbean's Oasis that uses Starlink (the same ship I used the RavPower on three weeks earlier and about pulled my hair out), hoping it would do well.

    This little modem was amazing. Not only did it connect easily to the ship, the download signal was the same as if my electronic device was connected directly. Additionally, the upload speed (not sure how) was almost always better than my phone or laptop. I speed-tested it regularly and often. It was as good or better than my direct connection, and everything worked great. I lowered the resolution on my camera for my zoom hearing and had no issues. I worked in my room, but I could hook the Beryl up to a batter pack and basically be mobile anywhere on the ship. I hooked up 4 devices at once and didn't notice much of a lag for what I was doing.

    The modem comes with a bunch of built-in security features.

    For a family going on a cruise, this little device will allow you to provide access to all your cabinmates while they are in the cabin. It might solve the issue of needing to get everyone their own internet access (if some people only use the internet on occasion - but not for heavy scrollers).

    The only gripe I had was that I wanted to wirelessly dump photos from my iPhone to a card because I have limited storage (and your iPhone doesn't want to back up to iCloud while on the ship even if you have continuous internet access). I know it can do this. I didn't figure out how to do this when I was home and tried to figure it out while on the ship, but there wasn't any real information, even the info Beryl provided (although I might have missed it). I had all the hardware. I tinkered with it but couldn't figure it out. I tried youtube videos or google searches to no avail. I'm sure there is info out there, but it wasn't easy to find.

    I give this a 5 Star rating as a travel router. Fast, efficient, secure, and portable! It's a winner!
