Product Description
Slate - Gigabit Internet for Security-savvy Travelers
It’s often for a frequent traveler to use Wi-Fi in public places. The problem with public Wi-Fi is that you are inviting a whole host of different security risks. Slate, a gigabit travel router, is designed for security-savvy travelers who want their security being completely locked down no matter where they are.

30+ Commercial VPN Provider CompatibilityGot a commercial VPN provider that you really like? No problem, there’s more than 25+ VPNs compatible with our pre-installed OpenVPN client. OpenVPN is a tried-and-true software, and a common standard for security-minded VPN users. WireGuard is based on a concept called Cryptokey Routing. This is an impressive new technology that’s worth trying if you’re looking for performance boosts beyond what OpenVPN can provide. It’s a much faster security protocol than OpenVPN; WireGuard VPN can clock 68Mbps, compared to OpenVPN that can only hit 17Mbps. |
Connects Multiple Workplaces SeamlesslySlate Comes with Pre-installed VPN server and client functions in WireGuard and OpenVPN. With Slate, you can bring all your workplaces together with a single, secure private cloud with OpenVPN or WireGuard. Don’t worry about changing your network when you change your workplace. You won’t need to reconfigure and reconnect all your devices as well; they’ll all connect automatically each time you fire up your Slate. |
Pre-Configured Cloudflare DNS Over TLSThis option uses the TLS security protocol for encrypting DNS queries, which helps increase privacy and prevent eavesdropping. When it comes to browsing privacy, DNS is often the weak link in the chain. Having Cloudflare DNS over TLS is a new feature, previously only possible with professional modification of your router. The Slate comes with this feature baked in; it’s as easy as flipping the toggle in the user interface. |
Slate is designed for frequent travelers, it is therefore both compact and lightweight. It can easily slip into a backpack, or even your pocket and take it with you anywhere.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So I came across this device, which purports to provide a router-level VPN connection between you and your VPN provider.
I have to say, this device is excellent. It's light-weight (with the antennae folded, it's about the size of a deck of cards). It has a decent signal strength, which deteriorates quickly outside of a ~ 30'x30' perimeter, which makes it ideal for hotel rooms, as it's less likely that the signal will extend to other rooms or the hallway/lobby. It has the ability to act as a wifi bridge to a wired connection, or as a wifi-extendor (providing VPN connections either way). Lastly, you can, if you must, connect up to two devices to it's LAN ports (it has a 3rd LAN port that's meant for LINE-IN).
A few tips:
- Make sure to get the latest firmware, as otherwise, it can't handle captive portals (the login screen that many hotels direct you to in order to activate your hotel wifi).
- If you'll be connecting to a VPN, make sure to NOT have it set to auto-connect. I spent about an hour trying to figure out why I wasn't being directed to the login portal of my hotel room. Turns out that if the VPN is set to auto connect, it immediately tries to initiate a VPN connection, preventing connection to the captive portal of the hotel wifi. Alternatively, manually "disconnect" the VPN, log in to your hotel wifi, then activate the VPN.
Once the VPN connection was established, it remained in place for the 48 hours we were in the hotel room without having to re-connect.
My only gripe (a small one) is the lack of a built-in battery. There were several times that I had to move the device around, and each time, our family's wifi was down until the device rebooted and re-connected.
Overall, an excellent product, and to my knowledge, the only travel router with VPN capability on the market in the U.S.
Pros:
- Small, light-weight
- VPN capable (I'm using NordVPN, but I believe it'll work with any provider that supports then OpenVPN protocol)
- Good user interface
- All the necessary ports
- Runs off USB port - even a portable battery if you'd like. Makes it much easier for travel purposes, especially overseas
- dual band - can have 5mhz and 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks up simultaneously (primary and "guest", for example).
Cons
- relatively small range (a plus IMO for security reasons)
- No built-in battery
- No built-in SD card slot
The new Tor client functionality (still in beta) works, but is slow to startup. Once working it delivers ~7MB/sec up and down through the Tor network - which is reasonable. Did not detect any out of band leaks in their Tor implementation. Tested Tor access through an iphone which was kinda neat. There is no formal Tor browser for the iphone.
GL-inet provides all the controls for OpenWRT...but places them behind a selection menu. I found their own GUI to be much easier to use than WRT's. So you really don't need that expansive WRT configuration menu unless you need something special.
The box itself is just a Qualcomm chip on a PCB - which is the way I like to buy our routers. Will be ordering another soon, and might buy a bunch for Christmas since this box includes DNS over TLS. Good way for family to update their network by inserting this box ahead of whatever they have. Saves money and grief. No one should be using the old DNS system - it's a security risk. This is a simple upgrade for anyone with old hardware.
Besides, ALL of the IEEE standards for wifi have been compromised/hacked. Even Wifi6E has been a disappointment. So everyone should really isolate their wifi traffic to OUTSIDE their primary network (which should be wired). Wifi - you just can't trust it. Every phone or laptop you own using wifi should also be on a VPN.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2019/04/11/flaws-in-wpa3-wi-fi-standard-allow-attackers-to-crack-passwords-and-view-traffic/?sh=3249d14a7050
The Qualcomm ® XSPAN TM QCA9563 is a highly integrated and feature-rich IEEE 802.11n 3x3
2.4 GHz System-on-a-Chip (SoC) for advanced WLAN platforms.
It includes a MIPS 74Kc processor, an SGMII interface and an external memory interface for
serial Flash, DDR1 or DDR2, UART, PCIe, two USB 2.0 Host controllers with built-in MAC/PHY
and GPIOs that can be used for LED controls or other general purpose interface configurations.
The QCA9563 supports 802.11n operations up to 216 Mbps for 20 MHz and 450 Mbps for 40
MHz, and 802.11b/g data rates. Additional features include Maximal Likelihood (ML) decoding,
Low-Density Parity Check (encoding) and Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC).
Pretty certain this MIPs processor is free of the Spectre flaw. Virtually EVERY processor made over the last 30 years contains this flaw. May mean you will be forced to throw out ALL your computer hardware someday. Nice touch that this little box can stay? Maybe the kind of CPU you want protecting your network 24/7?
The main issue is that I used it as a repeater for my my router. The device would work for weeks without any issues than all of the sudden would fail to connect to the internet. I had to unplug and plug the device in several times before it would finally reconnect to the main router.
With that said I reconfigured the device as a router so now. I have to switch between internet connections to manage the systems on the new router network. It's no big deal but a little irritating.
The management interface is nice and well thought out so it's worth the purchase and now I'm thinking it might be an issue with my internal network that caused the repeater to disconnect randomly but it's hard to troubleshoot that without some advance network tools, which I do not have.
Buy it and try it out and I think you'll be pleased.
Top reviews from other countries
Due to my old travel router not having a facility to employ a VPN connection i decided it was time for an upgrade. After lots of research GL.iNet seemed like a very good brand to try, so i placed my order.
I went for the AR750S model due to the fact it also had 5Ghz and extra LAN ports. The router runs on OpenWRT which is a highly customisable opensource router firmware. It allows for several VPN options along with a host of other fully customisable features.
Setup of this router was an absolutely breeze. The GUI is simple and effective. You can connect in Bridge mode/Repeater mode or directly to a WAN socket and use as a primary router. I set up in repeater mode with an openVPN profile to securely connect to my home network. It was simple, quick and worked great!
With a VPN connection i can use my phone/ipad/firestick whilst abroad to logon too UK streaming sites just like i was at home and without any geo locking restrictions.
There are a ton of extra options within the router software, many i will know doubt never use, however it is great to have the availability of these if i wish to try out other things.
The device is super small, in fact much smaller than i expected. Easily portable enough to take in hand luggage or even your stick in your pocket.
The only thing i would have really liked (especially for the cost of this device) is a battery powered option. My other travel router has a decent 10000mAh battery and that lasts me all day... it equally means the router is more portable for roaming networks. The negative to this router is it needs a USB power supply to work... however i will try this with a battery pack and see if that works - it just means if it does, it's something extra i would have to carry rather than an all in one unit.
So do i recommend this product? Without question yes! It's a fantastic super customisable travel router. I love it!
I hope that you found my review helpful.

With 128 MB ram and 128 MB flash memory, there is a lot of space for experimentation with openwrt package’s.
I run even Adguard Home on this machine, and still have a lot of free space.
I’m flabbergasted :)

También decir que es capaz de leer pendrives y discos externos de 3,5" con alimentación externa (Los de 2,5" no puede porque le falta energía). El cable de red incluido es un cat. 7, lo cual es bueno.
Total, quizá no sea un router para tenerlo como principal, pero por poder puede sin problemas. Y como router de viaje, no creo que tenga rival.
El único contra, el precio, creo que es caro para lo que es.
