GL-BE3600 (Slate 7)

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

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

It isn't that difficult to do if you use the right equipment. I highly recommend GL.iNet routers for doing it.

I use GL.iNet GL-BE3600 (Slate 7). This a travel router. It creates a local network in your RV. I connect all of my stuff to that network and only that network.

Well, it kind of depends on where you got your router from. If it’s from GL.iNet, they’re a Hong Kong-based company. They typically have just one hardware version, but the ones sold in Asia or the China market come with firmware that follows local policie so things like VPN support might be restrict

AdGuard tries to use IPv6 no matter what. This results in sending IPv6 AAAA records (which are preferred) to IPv4 only hosts, and in many cases this breaks things if those hosts have IPv6 enabled but don't have a routable IPv6 address. Specifically for me it broke registering an Apple TV.

Interesting question. I have been looking into this, and a bit of a minefield with GL.iNet routers. Some of mine do have a GB setting, but their latest Slate 7 Pro only has France and Ireland in Europe and nothing at all for Africa. There is an option in LuCI under Advanced Settings’ to do this, no

I use GL.iNET Slate 7 and Spitz AX, though the latter is what I usually use. There is usually a hit or miss with authentication, but the majority of hotels ive been using it at, ive had no issues at all. Just make sure the MAC address is static.
