Review: Shocked at how good this is for the price. - Its really small. Easy to use. The range is great as well. We have a 90 foot garden and signal went to the bottom of the garden and still got 20 meg speed. normally I get nothing. Crazy. The UI is great and it updated to the latest firmware and restarted fine, and thats without having to download the firmware and stick it on a USB drive. If I had paid double for this I would till very be happy with it. It also acts as a repeater as well. proper amazing for £30. and it runs from a micro usb cable. Got it powered from an always on USB port on a gaming rig then through powerlines to the router at the other side of the house.
Review: Amazing little router! - Wow! This device is slighly bigger than a matchbox and has more functionality than routers costing many times more. I wish I'd discovered these earlier. It's got a full copy of OpenWrt installed. If you're unfamiliar with OpenWrt, it's an open source wireless router project that has just about every conceivable configuration option available, and you can install other apps from a list of about 8,000. There's a polished UI on top of OpenWrt out of the box, but you can also open the native OpenWrt UI called Luci. I've configured it to act as a VPN client and router to connect to home from a remote location. I chose WireGuard VPN because it's easy to setup and enables site to site, so both subnets are permanently connected and visible to each other. I'm definately going to buy more of these. You can just configure it at home and take with you to plug in wherever you need it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is a hammer the only way to stop this thing pinging google (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4), snitches get stitches! But seriously I've been trying for days!??**
A: We are very sorry with your case. Please try to reset the router to see if it works. Please check out this link for more information: https://docs.gl-inet.com/en/3/tutorials/repair_network_or_reset_firmware/.

**Q: Can you use both ethernet sockets for the laptop clients?**
A: Dear customers,

GL-AR300M-Lite has only 1 Ethernet port which works as WAN by default. You can only connect to it via Wi-Fi when you first set up the router. Once you have connected to it, you can change the WAN port to LAN port in Internet so that you can connect to it via Ethernet cable.

GL.iNet

**Q: Can i use this to receive a wifi signal and convert it to wired ethernet for a device that isn’t wifi enabled?**
A: Hi,

Yes, it works in this situation.

Sincerely,
GL iNet

**Q: Does the device have a hardware clock/ real time clock built in?**
A: It is based on router time. You could set time zone in the admin panel. Please check out this link for more information: https://docs.gl-inet.com/en/3/setup/mini_router/more_settings/#time-zone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very versatile and easy to configure.
*by D***Y on 8 October 2025*

We used it to create an AP on an existing Ethernet network. We found this unit to be a very versatile router that is easy to set-up. Range is good too. You don't get a power supply so do remember to order a USB charging plug if installing as a stand-alone router.
