GL-AR300M16 Mini

I'm hoping this will spur Gl-inet to refresh their mini-routers like the GL-MT300N-V2 Mango or GL-AR300M16. They're getting pretty long in the tooth now and lacking things like the built in Adblocker and NAS functionality compared to the currently supported models

Before spending money on a new router to use as a VPN server, check your uplink speed. Your uplink speed at the VPN server will be your maximum downlink speed to your remote router. Some cable and 5G home internet providers have great download speeds but poor upload speeds, like 500 Mbps down and 35

If you look at the specs the AR300M16 is slightly faster and supports EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). The MT300N-V2 uses a proprietary WIFI driver and does not support EAP. I own multiple AR300M routers, and I would not buy an MT300N V2 because there is no real reason to choose a slower an

Tailscale images are huge, and probably will not fit on the M16 version, especially if you are using the GL iNet 4.x firmware, which has very little free space.

New wireless routers while they do support 802.11n generally use wider frequencies that will not be compatible w

Ok, thanks! In the meantime, I’ll start using my GL-AR300M16, which I guess it should be enough for now right?One more question just to understand better: does this mean that the modem part is already integrated into the provider’s network? I remember setting up old internet connections where I had

What about GL.iNet GL-AR300M16? Cheap. Micro USB powered. Can run current OpenWRT. You need to install Luci with the factory GUI, then you can just flash the current OpenWRT sysupgrade .bin. Ignore the warning, it works fine. Did 7 of those like that two weeks ago.

File sharing is just one example. On multiple GL iNet routers, it was listed as an out of box feature as shown in the 3.x documents. See: https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/jp/3/tutorials/file_sharing/ Per the 4.x release notes it was pulled in many models. Here is just 1 example. https://dl.gl-inet.co
