    I have the beryl as a separate modem for the kids, using open dns. Works well

      What advantages does that give you?

        I imagine that having them using OpenDNS is the key element. That would allow OpenDNS to filter accessible sites (Adult, Alcohol, Drugs, Sex etc) for those clients that use it.

        Then the main router can use a different DNS which allows for unfiltered access.

        • Pixie13 on 29/01/2024 - 09:56

          That's interesting, thanks for the insight and use case.

        • dangerdanger on 29/01/2024 - 16:27

          Correct!

          Separate wifi network = parents can use their internet as usual.

          Kids devices can be routed through their own wifi network —> OpenDNS.
          'Bad' content filtered.

          Also, when travelling, I can take the Beryl with me and hook it up to the hotel network.
          = kids network will still be routed through OpenDNS, and wifi SSID as well.

          I could not get 'one' wifi router to do all this, so settled with an additional Beryl unit (main unit is TP Link deco)

          • stewface on 29/01/2024 - 21:18

            @dangerdanger: UniFi gear will do this, but it’s heaps cheaper just to get one of these!

  • glide on 29/01/2024 - 08:59

    I have a slate plus. Great little router. I had grand plans to turn it into a dual-wan VPN load balancer to replace my tp-link ER605 which does not do wireguard, but I could not make it work that way due to the way these routers access have some sort of virtual switch tied to the CPU.

    Highly recommend these regardless.

    I use the Beryl as a Travel Router; supports VLANs, Wireguard & ControlD so I can still remote back home when travelling, and can act as a backup router when I'm not. Only wish I could run pfSense on it instead ;-)

    • starbearer on 29/01/2024 - 18:12

      Does it have a SIM card slot? Or do have to use public wifi?

      • AssociatedLimbot @ GL.iNet, Hong Kong on 29/01/2024 - 18:42

        None of these models have sim slot. You can attached to public wifi or hotspot or tether your mobile phone or connect a dongle though.

        • starbearer on 29/01/2024 - 19:15

          Thanks! Yea dongle it is

            @starbearer: USB your phone and it works, I’ve done it with an iPhone.

  • EspadaV8 on 29/01/2024 - 15:24

    Do all of these run OpenWRT? Thinking of getting the Beryl AX for a trip to Japan, and that one seems like the best offerings for the buck, maybe 🤔

    Edit: what I meant to say was, do these all OpenWRT, and can you upgrade them to newer versions easily?

  • PiperDan on 29/01/2024 - 16:10

    Shame the GL-AXT1800 slate appears to only come with an AU plug considering it requires 5V/4A

    • AssociatedLimbot @ GL.iNet, Hong Kong on 29/01/2024 - 18:41

      Only needs 4A if your pushing it and running say a hard drive off the back. I've been running one with 5v/3A at home with a sd card 'media server" and never had an issue (luckily since I can't find the 4A charger that came with it… 😜)

      When I'm travelling normally use a multiport GAN charger to reduce the amount of chargers I take that will do the family's notebooks, tablets, phones, router, headphones etc

  • Signet on 30/01/2024 - 12:46

    Has any one used any of these as a home Wifi router?
