I think the sellers in China (Taobao, AliExpress, etc.) should take some responsibility for giving information to buyers that the router is the Chinese version.
It is quite normal for electronic devices to have different versions to meet regulatory requirements in the selling jurisdiction. For example, if you bought a smartphone in China, do you expect that it is guaranteed to work with the cellular bands in Europe, North America, etc.
unless the seller says so?
I do not work for and I do not have formal association with GL.iNet
Hi Zhao, i am currently traveling in China and purchased a SlateAX1800 router which does not have vpn support. Guide me to flash global version firmware on this router. Thanks
Hi Alzhao,
I’m from Vietnam so buy GL.iNet from Taobao is the only way and I have no other choice. Could you please help me to upgrade MT3000 from CN version to International version which have VPN and other function? Thank you
I have the same problem and have a solution, used to post to the forum but apparently the admin deleted my post
So if you want the help please pm me, I may help you non officially
@alzhao : Hypothetically isn’t this merely a matter of the firmware version(s) for the region? Presumably the Beryl AX-CN has the same hardware present in it as the Beryl AX for the USA, doesn’t it?
I am in same situation with a Beryl AX (GL- MT3000) which was bought early summer this year to replace the original Beryl (GL-MT1300). Wasn’t until recently one noticed it was missing the VPN function when one was about to use it. -_-;
Possible to flash it to the global version? @alzhao
