Hello, I’m new to the GL-inet routers and bought an AR-300M-nand router to play with. I wanted a solution when my ADSL internet fails and I can use my mobile phone as USB tethering device to get internet access for all my lan devices. After succesfully installing the router I also want to use my PIA VPN, adguardhome and dns over TLS at the same time. I guess the ar-300M is a bit lightweighted for all of this. I wrote an email to the helpdesk of GL-inet but those were bounced. Is there somebody who can advise me which device can handle all of my wishes without problems? Thank you very kindly grtzz tom ---

If you bought the router already, you can wait for the new WiFi6 generation. The AR-300 are not so bad for now. You can compare the VPN speed a little bit by follow: - [Open VPN speed of different Gl.iNet router](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/open-vpn-speed-of-different-gl-inet-router/4405) ---

Thank you for your quick reply, Henry. I’m not in need of the new wifi6 generation but I was thinking more of Gigabit ports and a more powerful processor/memory. Isn’t there a product comparison chart with all the GL-inet available? Thanks ---

Use a GL-AR750S-EXT (Slate) exactly for that purpose and it works a treat. Only thing is that there is no automatic failover, you have to do it manually but it only take 1-2mins once the connection is down. ADSL Modem → GL-AR750S (WAN) → LAN1/2 → Gb Switch → Devices When ADSL goes down disconnect the modem connection cable, set your phone to tethering and connect via USB to the USB port on the GL-AR750S, Log into the GL-AR750S and change WAN to USB Tethering, GL-AR750S will then connect to your phone and away your go. As the GL-AR750S does all the DHCP stuff your internal network won’t know the difference as to whether or not your connected to the internet via USB tethered phone or ADSL modem. ---

Thank you exitguy. I don’t mind a few manual steps to switch. Hopefully my ADSL line doesn’t quit to much on me. The GL-AR750S-EXT is the most powerful in its range? I’ve been looking at the GL1000 but does not have Wifi and the GL-1000W isn’t released yet. Thank you ---

MV1000W is soon to be released, has a small form factor (travel size). I’m using a B1300 for my home network, which might as well do the trick. ---
