Even without product page I would have posted about a future GL-B3000, as it is actually mentioned in the [Beta Testing program](https://www.gl-inet.com/beta-testing/)ā€¦ Thatā€™s how I guessed the product page! I like the idea, but I can imaging if fully utilised and has 3 network cables running to itā€¦ The network cables might start deciding where the photo frame goes. ---

I canā€™t imagine any of the male staff at GL.iNet thinking or saying, ā€œYa know whatā€¦We need to design a router inside a picture frame so itā€™s not noticeableā€. Since most guys love to show off their tech. I betcha this idea was inspired by one of their wives. ---

There is feature film for this router on Vimeo that I saw a few weeks ago. I notice the beta program and did a quick google and voilĆ . Only two views on the video at the time of this forum post and both are me. Check it out [MEET Marble - Wi-Fi 6 OpenWrt Router for Modern Home on Vimeo](https://vimeo.com/882004399) ---

IDK, man. I could see myself using that as a repeater/extender w/ a picture of the better half mounted in it, on my desk/behind the chairā€¦ if I didnā€™t already have a Slate AX tucked away. I agree the womenfolk will most likely be drawn to it. GL should offer various ā€˜framesā€™ to match the decor. ---

It honestly needs to be quad core and 512mb ram. Similar to the SlateAX. ---

What next? A router built-in to my kettle with a 10GB ethernet port next to the spout? Still unsure as to why they donā€™t focus on properly maturing the firmware before coming up with these gimmicks. ---

Just one little thing about that product page. Please be consistent: At the top: > Supports 2.4GHz (~400Mbps) and 5GHz (900Mbps) At the bottom: > Wi-Fi Speed 574Mbps (2.4GHz), 2402Mbps (5GHz) Given the model name/code/number the latter is probably true. ---

hmm i wonder tho, how long would be the adapters wire? šŸ˜‰ I mean I could see this as a potentional issue thoā€¦ why does it not have a PoE connection ? heres some reason why i would think its nice to have it: - since someone may want to hang it on a wall but also want to add wire for wan, wellā€¦ it easily can become a mess with wires, i think some woman donā€™t like that šŸ™‚ - the first impression is also important, if the power adapters cable is not long enough well it can be a annoyance also because the consumer might not be technical enough to find the correct adapter, and also have the expectation to be long enough. - with PoE its alot easier because you can easily make cables, but also buy cables and it makes a little less mess, for such router I really see no reason why PoE is not a part of it šŸ˜› ^ I mean PoE not as a replacement for the current power though, but as addon. though I find it a strange concept I would never searched for this combination but that is my own opinion šŸ™‚ šŸ˜› ---

Agreed. Poe is really needed for a clean look. It would have been a similar price to include a Poe injector over the power supply. ---

This product looks interesting, having it on a small office would be nice, I donā€™t think itā€™s gonna have as much success as other models, but I hope so, the Beryl AX is having a great success even on Amazon you can verify it, I canā€™t wait for an upgraded Beryl/Slate version, I hope they include 2 LAN ports, an SMA connector and a quad core CPU, 1GB RAM, of course it should be WIFI 7 maybe That would be a Beryl ProšŸ˜Œ even if it is a bit more expensive ---
