I’ve had the slate axt1809 since 2022. Really handy device when traveling. Being in IT for the past 17 years, I’ve been to a ton of conferences. I’ve always bring my own router. lol. Bring it on vacations as well. Great device!!!

[AlexanderBelikov]

I got my Beryl AX today. Great devices!

Much appreciated this video! I'm using the Teleport VPN feature between my local and remote Amplifi routers, which doesn't require the same amount of setup as this. But, there are questions about whether the Amplifi line is going to continue. If they do end it, now I have an option, thanks to you!

Great content. I've been using travel routers since the TP-Link TL-WR703N in 2012. Have you tested DNS leaks with or without the AD Guard? Some TV streaming services will block you if they notice DNS leaks in a foreign country, which I have encountered with my GL-MT1300 after a firmware upgrade.

17:11 What to do if the VPN connection never gets established and the light never turns green. It continues to light up as orange?

[derekvanellan]

I have the flint 2 with me but I already have the beryl GL.iNet GL-MT3000 in a different state where I need to have it, my question is do I need to have with me in the house to have it configure?

[baievertebagscompany]

Is there any difference with the settings for a Flint 1 as the master? vs Flint 2

[Gkbmoney]

I have Tailscale running on a NAS on my home network with port forwarding. Just ordered the Slate router. Could I connect the Slate router from hotel on the road to my tailscale connection on my home NAS and access the data on the road?

[nzisovlogs]

Download speed at client router depends on upload speed of your Comcast’s or T-Mobile home internet, i am confused please clarify

[goodcitizen]

Great vid! In Daytona Beach FL area Metronet 2GB service ($75/mo) on the Flint2 2.5Gbps WAN port. I use the 2.5Gbps LAN port into a 5 port 2.5Gbps LAN switch for all my clients. Also has 4 1GB ports, I use one of those for my cheapo 8 port 1GB switch for my many non 2.5Gb devices.

Do you happen to have any other recommendations for home routers other than the Flint 2? I wanted something with faster speeds and with wireguard enabled as well.

[vigneshraja]

Whats the max speed as wireguard server from Flint 2? Would Flint 2 be better as a wg server than Slate AX? How much would the difference be if so?

[PluPerfective]

Great video, can this do network segmentation? I want to separate my personal and work computer

[JoeKForReal]

What a great video. Thank you for all the information and the step-by-step instructions. So if I did, this, and I used my travel router in, for example, Mexico, would my Internet traffic from Mexico appear as if I’m actually back home in the US?

Also, do I have to use the GLI net brand of router at home, or can I use my existing Netgear for the VPN server part?

[sgtusmcarch]

I have a PiVPN running on my raspberry pi4, I tried to use my beryl ax as a client and it did not work. I tried it with the mobile app then uploading the config file and it still did not work. Is it only compatible with another GLi hardware?

[feo]

Maybe should also mention what get routed through the VPN by default? Does all traffic go through or just traffic destined for the remote subnet. With a manual Wireguard config, the AllowedIPs setting determines that, 0.0.0.0/0 means all traffic goes through the tunnel whilst something like 192.168.0.0/24 means only traffic to and from that subnet goes through the tunnel.

Nice video Chris! I'm familiar with the Beryl. Very handy! So we have family staying w/us -their house is under repair. My brother wants to add his Flint routerto my Unifi network.... How do we set up this up ? I've got a UCG Ultra, USW 8 lite... Do we connect UCW LAN Flint WAN to LAN on UCG or USW 8 Lite? Do I create a VLAN for the Flint??
Thanks!

[DaisyDai]

A dum question. what is a combo wan/lan port for? Can I use a cable to connect my computer and WAN/LAN port?

[kevinwhite]

does it automatically rotate its WAN MAC/BSSID periodically so that it can't be used to geolocate the user over time?
