“Slate AX is the sleekest and smallest AX router i have seen on the market, taking GL router performance to a whole new level. Compared to my older S1300, i now have full wifi signal where signal was previously patchy and unstable. Not only that, the wifi speed is also improved in that range. The UI is faster and more polished, with NAS installed as default. Highly recommended upgrade for both travel and home use.”

The GL.iNet GL-AXT1800 router is a good looking little travel router, not so small but still small enough for the luggage, which may not do everything, but it can do a lot. With AX WiFi or WiFi 6, sufficient to provide an entire holiday home with internet. Many security features such as OpenVPN and WireGuard (fast vpn), both client and server, AdGuard, Cloudflare, WPA3 protocol. Already complies with the future European standard for power supply via USB-C. Runs on OpenWRT, which allows you to supplement the firmware yourself with various applications. The device functions not only as a router, but also as a wired or non-wired repeater (even simultaneously with router), and can also receive a mobile signal via USB and suitable hardware. From experience I can say that the router performs just as well or even better than the average current home router. It can therefore be used at home as well as when traveling.The interface is very accessible for beginners. Advanced users will find something to their liking in OpenWRT. I strongly recommend.

GL.iNet AXT1800 is a small router in the palm of your hand, but with great possibilities. It’s very fast with Wi-Fi 6 and OpenWRT. I’ve been waiting for this device for years and finally have it. I recommend this device, my best travel friend.

I currently own a few GL.iNet products so I had high expectations for the Slate AX… This device has exceeded ALL of them! This little workhorse is the most incredible tech product I have put my hands on in a long time. Nothing has made me say “Wow!” so many times as much as the Slate AX has. It has Wireguard speeds that exceed my provider’s maximums; it repeats signals from an impossible distance at impressively high speeds; It outperforms much of my my enterprise gear… and it’s a TRAVEL ROUTER! I am still in awe at the amount of power and features that GL.iNet squeezed into such a small package. I am thoroughly impressed.

I currently own a few GL.iNet products so I had high expectations for the Slate AX… This device has exceeded ALL of them! This little workhorse is the most incredible tech product I have put my hands on in a long time. Nothing has made me say “Wow!” so many times as much as the Slate AX has. It has Wireguard speeds that exceed my provider’s maximums; it repeats signals from an impossible distance at impressively high speeds; It outperforms much of my my enterprise gear… and it’s a TRAVEL ROUTER! I am still in awe at the amount of power and features that GL.iNet squeezed into such a small package. I am thoroughly impressed.

The TRUTH About Travel Routers: What You Need to Know!
What Our Beta Testers are Saying
the AXT1800 is amazing, and even with the os in beta the router stay very stable, i always get the maximum speed as i can get, im watching often 4k content that i stream in local from my mac to my xgimi projector, and for the first time with all the router i bought , i dont have any latence, everything is perfectly fluid. overall is for me the best travel router you've made so far. before to receive it , i was a bit afraid that the size will be a bit big, but at the end for what is capable, the size is perfect and the mat finish is stunning. the only negative point, maybe the indicator led its not very bright. and would be very happy one day to see an rgb led that show different state of the router that we can personalise , like for example when is connected to (led orange )wireguard or (led green)open vpn, (led blue)as repeater of (led blinking red) when offline.

How many GL-iNET routers do you see in the photo? The latest little solid AXT1800 Wi-Fi 6 router leads the others to power up my family Internet.

“Slate AX is the sleekest and smallest AX router i have seen on the market, taking GL router performance to a whole new level. Compared to my older S1300, i now have full wifi signal where signal was previously patchy and unstable. Not only that, the wifi speed is also improved in that range. The UI is faster and more polished, with NAS installed as default. Highly recommended upgrade for both travel and home use.”

The GL.iNet GL-AXT1800 router is a good looking little travel router, not so small but still small enough for the luggage, which may not do everything, but it can do a lot. With AX WiFi or WiFi 6, sufficient to provide an entire holiday home with internet. Many security features such as OpenVPN and WireGuard (fast vpn), both client and server, AdGuard, Cloudflare, WPA3 protocol. Already complies with the future European standard for power supply via USB-C. Runs on OpenWRT, which allows you to supplement the firmware yourself with various applications. The device functions not only as a router, but also as a wired or non-wired repeater (even simultaneously with router), and can also receive a mobile signal via USB and suitable hardware. From experience I can say that the router performs just as well or even better than the average current home router. It can therefore be used at home as well as when traveling.The interface is very accessible for beginners. Advanced users will find something to their liking in OpenWRT. I strongly recommend.

GL.iNet AXT1800 is a small router in the palm of your hand, but with great possibilities. It’s very fast with Wi-Fi 6 and OpenWRT. I’ve been waiting for this device for years and finally have it. I recommend this device, my best travel friend.
