GL-AR300M16 Mini

Why has GL iNet turned it back on small inexpensive travel routers? Routers like the USB150, AR300M, and even the Original Slate were small and light. Size, weight and power are very important for people who are using your routers for travel.

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

You need your Wireguard UDP packets to fit inside the Ethernet packet, or the UDP packets fragment, and depending on the network, can be dropped on the floor. On the AR300M, try dropping your MTU in your Wireguard config file down to 1280. If that works, you can try stepping it up, but I normally ju

I purchased my first GL iNet router in 2019. Firmware inconsistency across their line of routers, along with poor QA, has been the norm for me with their products. I have basically given up on using their stock firmware. Hardware-wise, though, they have been great. My first device, an AR300M, is sti

Generally people recommend using a seperate travel router or making your own device with a network using a raspberry pi with the drive connected as the PS2 uses quite a old version of network sharing which can be a bit finnicky on modern computers. I set it up myself before using this guide https://

I own multiple older GL iNet routers including AR300M, AR300M16, AR750 and AR750S. In my testing of the 4.x firmware on any of these routers, I found them much more sluggish and flaky than when I run GL iNet 3.x firmware or OpenWrt firmware on the same routers. I do not think it is due to using up a

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. You may have a chance of getting Tailscale and generic OpenWRT to fit on an M16, especially if you can find one of the reduced size version

I have 300 up 300 down connection in LA. I have a feeling I'm being bottlenecked by the weak gl I net hardware. I'll order brume 2 and beryl ax and try that. 50 Mbps is good enough for me but now I'm only getting 0.2-2mbps with ar300m and opal

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
