This tiny travel router is not just WiFi 7… it is a full mini server in your pocket.
In this video I test the GL.iNet Slate 7 WiFi 7 travel router with OpenWRT, built-in VPN, NAS features, and multi-WAN support. From turning it into a portable NAS to running VPN for all your devices, this thing does way more than a normal router.
