For those that haven't checked recently, looks like 4.7.2 is finally out for the Slate 7. This is a 64-bit build, and includes the screen pin lock, as well as the ability to add/remove panes from the display. Also fixes my Wireguard and Tailscale speed issues.

There are a few brands that use the same "shell" and possibly internals as the GL.iNet Slate AX. Where they differ is the Firmware running on them. But for that price.... um tell 'em they're dreaming...

Their VPN app includes the excellent AdGuard Private DNS for free. They currently have a great deal if you buy AdGuard Family and AdGuard VPN. If you have already bought AdGuard Family, get the 5 year plan for AdGuard VPN (which also includes AdGuard Private DNS) and use code 'retail30' on checkout

These travel routers are great. I got one for this very reason even though I do not have a van yet. I got the GL.iNet GL-AXT1800 (Slate AX).

Nah I’ve done this from a brewery. Sometimes work is really slow and I’ll take off early and go somewhere else then of course, all of a sudden I’ll get a messaged with a question. I always bring my laptop around and I’ll go ahead and work from wherever I am. If it’s something I can just answer throu

The Beryl AX supports faster WiFi speed than the Slate AX out of the box. But if you’re using WireGuard for VPN (a common use for travel routers), the Slate AX supports 550 Mbps max speed vs the 300 Mbps that the Beryl AX supports. So basically: if using vanilla WiFi, Beryl AX is better. If using VP

Does your student dorm allow you to set up your own router using their network? That was not allowed when I was in college, and it's not worth having any issues with your university over WiFi speeds. If you place a router in your dorm room, you're going to have double NAT (bad for gaming) unless you

I would recommend getting a travel router like a GL-iNet Beryl AX or even step up to the Slate 7 if you want wifi7. This will allow you to run your own network behind the college network so you have full control of your security. You can set it up with a VPN connection for remote access too.
