I’m looking for a “global” travel router and ideally I want one from GL-Inet with all the dd-wrt goodness! The problem is there are a features I’m still looking for that GL-Inet doesn’t offer in its current product line, most specifically E-Sim.
I travel between many countries. I thought I’d start a list so GL-Inet has a new product to announce at CES that can win awards and fit my (and other’s needs). Hoping others will contribute!
-
E-sim with ability to have multiple profiles and NOT TIED TO A SPECIFIC VENDOR (eg. I can use anyone’s esim)
-
Sim card port (perhaps 2) for those places where I need it.
-
Ability to have an external wifi antennna (for repeater mode). Presently in a situation where I barely get wifi, and an external antenna on the balcony would fix that without the whole unit sitting out there
-
Battery power, with the ability to act as a spare battery to charge devices (12+ hours run time please)
-
Global 4G and preferably 5G as that is where the market is going.
-
A Lan Port? I don’t need this, but there are situations where others might.
-
Small Size and weight for travel
-
Both 2.4 and 5GHz Wifi
-
Ability to add an external antenna
-
Ethernet port through USB C
Love to hear from others who agree, disagree or would like to add their thoughts
