It does a great job of keeping us connected when we travel with the benefit of not having to deal with limits on how many devices we can connect to hotel wifi like some places have. We connect this device only and enjoy the fact that all of our other devices already recognize if because they've already connected to it before, saving the need to log in to the hotel wifi separately for each device we have. The speed is quite sufficient for streaming when the available wifi is fast enough, signal strength is good and has never failed to provide great connectivity in any location we've taken it to. The setup is reasonably simple for anyone who understands what a router does, using the internal web app interface and the included instructions. I recommend setting it up at home on your home wifi and then connecting any devices you travel with to it with them set to remember the connection. This makes it a simple matter to connect the router at your destination and have all of your devices automatically connect to the router every time. The controls are simple and the instruction book is clearly written. One upgrade I'd recommend is to purchase a small case to keep the router and accessories in to minimize the chance of misplacing them. The one we bought was inexpensive and suggested by desertcart when we bought the router and it holds and organizes the router, power supply, and cables perfectly. Review: GL.iNet Opal Travel Router - Perfect VPN Companion for Trips - Small, easy to throw in a bag for travel. Pros: - Compact AC1200 dual band performance - Runs NordVPN or other VPN software directly on the hardware (no device configuration needed) - Multiple modes (router, repeater, bridge, access point) - Gigabit Ethernet + USB 2.0 ports - Easy setup with good guide Cons: - None noted for travel use Great for taking your full VPN protection with you, isolating a single device, or securing public WiFi. I use it to run VPN in hardware mode so all connected devices are protected without individual setup. Solid little router for travelers or anyone wanting more control over their network. Would I recommend? Yes, 5 stars. ## Features - 【AC1200 Dual-band Wireless Router】Simultaneous dual-band with wireless speed up to 300 Mbps (2.4GHz) + 867 Mbps (5GHz). 2.4GHz band can handles some simple tasks like emails or web browsing while bandwidth intensive tasks such as gaming or 4K video streaming can be handled by the 5GHz band.*Speed tests are conducted on a local network.

If you need a fully open-source travel router, please consider the GL-AR750S. **Q: Do this router have openwrt installed on it?** A: The OpenWrt version of SFT1200 is 1806 and it is NOT Fully open source. **Q: Can the Opal be used as a wi-fi to wired ethernet bridge? I don't want to repeat any wi-fi signal, Only connect to an existing wi-fi via wired etherne** A: There isn't an explicit mode for connecting as a wireless client bridge. A work-around to this may be to switch off both 2.4 and 5GHz wireless networks, while in the default router mode. This step should prevent other wireless devices from using the Opal as a repeater. One that is done, you can change the operational mode from router to WDS (if your main router supports it) or extender mode otherwise. Full disclosure: this approach works for me on the Beryl model, so I think there is a better than even chance it will also work on Opal, but that is an untested assumption right now. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Made travel with wifi devices SO much more convenient. *by K***E on June 25, 2026* This little travel router is an awesome little workhorse.

Yes, 5 stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far, very good and easy to set up for tethering *by S***U on October 26, 2024* So far, just by following the video instructions for tethering iPhone's internet (using iphone's hotspot) everything went very satisfactorily. I was able to set up my Wyze pan cam in my office , at work, where I usually have an enterprise wifi connection (that doesnt allow any private wireless cameras to their wifi network). By using my iPhone's hotspot I could use this router to broadcast a wifi signal that my wifi camera could detect. I used the browser from my iphone 11, to keep things easy. If you log into the Admin portal (gateway) while using a computer, the user interface might look different and can complicate things for those who are not used to working with computers. I made sure I turned off the 5Ghz bandwidth because my wifi camera only connects to 2.4Ghz. Then I followed the steps from the video shown on here (on amazon), where pictures show the features of the router. Then I renamed the SSID of router to make it less obvious on the network from work. I also changed the password for the SSID to something else because by default the password is "goodlife", and anyone could use your wifi if they see your default SSID (GL - ....) and google the manufacturer's default password for that device. In case you wanna use it (as I did) to connect your security wifi camera on your iphone in your office , or even in your car, while using your phone's hotspot, you can follow the instructions from the video of this router from amazon. You'll have to connect your iphone to the router at some point , according to the instructional video (I used the USB port too) , and then put your Wyze pan camera in set up mode, follow the steps for setting up your camera, and you're connected. I noticed that the connection might not be stable based on how good your Hotspot connection is in that area. That causes my router to show a "growing blue light " on the router as if it would keep try to get internet from the iphone. My LTE data in my office is bad because the building affects my cell signal. But Im glad because I can still record with my security camera even after i disconnect from the camera to leave home for the day. The camera keeps recording after that on its 256GB microSD card. And I can review the recordings next day on my phone's Wyze app, when I connect to the router. So, the point is that this router helped me achieve what other pocket routers like TPLink, could not. The easy user interface for tethering made the difference, plus the instructional video. I gotta say that this router still requires a basic willingness to learn how to use a computer or an iphone, because even the concept of "tethering" could be too difficult to people if they 're not used to spending some time with experimenting with technology.
