A Review of the GL.iNet Slate AX Travel Router

As a wireless engineer who spends a good amount of time on the road for work and family trips, I’m often unhappy with the quality of the Wi-Fi in hotels, Airbnb’s, and shared workspaces…

I read that their GUI is more intuitive than OpenWRT's LuCi. Was that the case for you?

For most folks - the GL.Inet WebUI, 99.99% of the functionality is easy to find and use - they have presets for commercial VPN providers for both wg and openvpn, and can extend if needed in a clean way.

FWIW - OpenWRT LUCI can be installed, and there, it's the hair shirt that most OpenWRT users know and love

Note that I would step carefully inside LUCI, as the GL.Inet specific items may not mirror - same goes with /etc/config and files there - GL's specific items are kept in their own file, so it's easy enough to tell what does what.
