    beat me by 4 minutes. have an upvote!

    I really really want to buy this - but 130 x 91 x 34mm is just too big for a "travel" router.

    • DeToxin on 04/03/2025 - 14:23

      That's pretty subjective

    • Limbot on 04/03/2025 - 14:25

      Eval unit here. I was suprised that it is only slightly bigger than the Slate AX ( for overseas I'm still an OG Slate user :p )

  • flagsarefun on 04/03/2025 - 14:19

    For those interested in specs, compared to the Beryl AX notable upgrades beside WiFI 7 include:
    * MT7981B 2-core CPU to a Qualcomm Quad-core (not specified)
    * 512MB to 1GB RAM
    * 256MB to 512MB NAND Flash
    * 1GBe to 2.5GBe LAN port
    * Improved WiFi speed 574Mbps (2.4GHz) and 2402Mbps (5GHz) to 688Mbps (2.4GHz) and 2882Mbps (5GHz)

    No 6GHz support is listed

    • GordonD on 04/03/2025 - 14:47

      And on the other hand they have reduced the number of WAN and LAN ports to 2 on their recent models of travel routers.

      That makes them useless to me unless I add an ethernet switch.

      No 6GHz support is listed

      So it seems the Wi-Fi alliance is doing similar bullshit as USB, where you can omit the 6GHz band without clearly disclosing it to the customer in the product name.

    OP, Super Early Bird is sold out

    • dealmaker on 04/03/2025 - 14:34

      unless you choose another country connector (EU/UK or US)

  • dealmaker on 04/03/2025 - 14:25

    when will the super early arrive? cant see date

    • ausduckz on 04/03/2025 - 16:21

      Super Early Bird was early April, and Early Bird was the end of April from what I remember seeing during checkout.

  • sunyuanxin on 04/03/2025 - 14:35

    AU version sold out already

    • c0lch3y on 04/03/2025 - 15:44

      Would have thought the other plugs would be more popular given the use as a "travel" router…!

  • Churna on 04/03/2025 - 14:36

    Would this be better then a budget wifi 6 router from say JBHIFI (Like this one https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/asus-rt-ax54hp-dual-band-…) as the main home wireless?

    • dealmaker on 04/03/2025 - 14:39

      I was wondering this too actually, might just be a range issue?

    • frondono on 04/03/2025 - 16:12

      they have a flint 2 that will be worth a look at. they have a flint 3 coming out soon too.

  • dealmaker on 04/03/2025 - 14:38

    how much distance would this normally cover (without walls / obstructions) for each of the frequencies? Maybe someone knows from past experience of older wifi 6 routers?

  • littlesoldier on 04/03/2025 - 14:44

    IMO its a bit overkill to have a Wifi 7 travel router…
    especially most wifi network that a travel router connected to as bridge isn't that fast (unlikely a Wifi 7)
    Besides, there are still not many client devices yet

    • Churna on 04/03/2025 - 14:49

      Agreed, the Beryl AX https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt3000/ is more compact, lower power usage and has awesome performance. The Beryl has been out for a year + so lots of bugs already fixed

      • guyvb on 04/03/2025 - 15:19

        Yeah the Beryl AX is my travel choice, although I think even it is too big for (my) travel. But I do find the newer software version really good, handles hotel captive portals much much nicer than my old slate.

  • asa79 on 04/03/2025 - 15:23

    Would be nice if it had a sim or esim

    What's the use case for people who buy this? Professional or leisure?

    • shivaussie on 04/03/2025 - 15:47

      I have the same question… What's the use case of travel router

      • guyvb on 04/03/2025 - 15:56

        Personally I use them in hotels, to connect to the hotel wifi, often via some kind of portal you need to log in to. All my devices are already connected to my Beryl, I just need to connect the Beryl to the hotel wifi and it acts as a repeater. I also run a VPN on the Beryl for added security.
        Work travel primarily for me, but I take it on holidays too.

      • whyisave on 04/03/2025 - 16:01

        Share one WiFi connection with VPN, for family / kids, etc.

    • abs898 on 04/03/2025 - 16:09

      I mainly use for travel be it professional or leisure

      If we are on a family holiday, all devices connect seamlessly, including our Chromecast. Plus you can use adblock, VPN etc and make your private network safe

  • InternetExplorer on 04/03/2025 - 15:43

    Any news about flint 3?

  • StiSupafly on 04/03/2025 - 15:55

    FYI..

    Please note we will ship from China and you will need to deal with customs clearance and pay customs duty.

  • wwwboy on 04/03/2025 - 16:20

    on a side note, I was looking at some of the other travel models today as I thought maybe this one is slightly to big.. yeah I know maybe not…. but..

    Allot of places like Ebay/regular online stores are selling other models much more expensive then buying direct with gl.inet due to a current sale. Still not an all time low compared to some deals from amazon a while back.. (wish they would come back).

  • syncoroll on 04/03/2025 - 16:44

    This is so niche, i have the Slate Ax, and have probably used it twice travelling abroad.

    Very convenient to have for travelling so you don't have to have each of your digital devices connected to WIFI, just need to setup one device and every other Wi-Fi enabled device is good to go.
