Review: Great value & quality+ it's tiny! - Impressively tiny & lightweight (approx the size of a Samsung Flip cell p but less than 1/2 the weight! 3 in 1 eouter. Acts as a cabled WAN/LAN Router/Repeater & Wi-Fi router/extender + 2.4/5ghz capable & has16MB built-in RAM & it's infinitely re-flashable & imitates whatever name brand router you need it to (as long as you have the software). NOT your typical "Made in China cheap POJ" no name router! Was definitely impressed that it even came with a 3ft flat CAT6 cable in the package for setup or cables use. Simple basic setup & dashboard + does both 2.4/5ghz bands (you may need a 5ghz capable antenna if you don't have 1. I got an extra under$10 extended range 1). Stock, it still has impressive range. Entire package is far under 1/2 a #! Saves me from carrying an extra heavy router in my car. It's absolutely portable & powers off any PBank even for range testing. Definitely buy it again.
Review: Very capable device, and great value - > GL.iNet GL-AR300M16-Ext Portable Mini Travel Wireless Pocket Router (~$30 on sale) The Good: + Fully configurable. Runs OpenWRT and speed and reliability. + Comes with reasonable defaults. Allows bridge mode and can use wifi as the WAN uplink. + Built well. + Really good value. The Bad: - Wifi RF power isn't terribly powerful. The bang:buck on this is jaw-dropping. I think most GL.iNet stuff has a great value, but this palm-sized router packs a punch for dealing with small, mobile networks on the fly.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this device take wifi input (not ethernet / cat 6) and convert it to a ethernet output (cat 6)?**
A: Yes, you could setup like this:
WiFi--->GL-AR300M16-Ext---(ethernet cable)--->Your devices

**Q: Can I change one antenna to a directional antenna and use in repeater mode?**
A: You could change the antenna, the antenna is uFL to RP-SMA-Male.

**Q: If I connect an external antenna do I have to have something connected to both antenna ports and if so do they have to match or can I leave one empty?**
A: Coverage will likely be better with two similar antennas connected. One antenna connected would not, most likely, cause any circuit failures. GL.iNet has indicated to me that dissimilar antennas is acceptable. In my case I tried a WiFi yagi on one antenna port (supplied antenna on the other) but it did not improve signal strength to my internet source in my particular situation.  I would suggest you give it a try and see if it works for you.

**Q: How fast does it boot up from power off to connection?**
A: It takes around 1 min.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact design for easy travel
*by H***Z on December 20, 2025*

First item had a stripped antenna. Second took a week to get but arrived perfect. It is up and running as expected. I assume just luck of the draw i had a bad antenna. Packaged nice, and a great small form factor.
