Compact, powerful, and versatile
This mini router is a game-changer for travelers and remote workers. It's incredibly small—about the size of a matchbox—but packs a punch with OpenWrt firmware, dual Ethernet ports, and support for OpenVPN and WireGuard. Setup is straightforward via the intuitive web interface, and it can run off a USB power bank, making it perfect for on-the-go use. Whether you need to extend Wi-Fi in a hotel, create a secure VPN tunnel, or tether to a mobile hotspot, this device handles it all with ease.

Lots of functionality in a tiny box
Pretty good, can be used to provide most router services, either as an extension (wired or wireless) includes vpn, options and camera options, but limited memory on the device means you could run out of storage on the device. Can also be used with an external sim modem, usbA type,or as a file server. USB micro for power.

Shocked at how good this is for the price.
Its really small. Easy to use. The range is great as well. We have a 90 foot garden and signal went to the bottom of the garden and still got 20 meg speed. normally I get nothing. Crazy. The UI is great and it updated to the latest firmware and restarted fine, and thats without having to download the firmware and stick it on a USB drive. If I had paid double for this I would till very be happy with it. It also acts as a repeater as well. proper amazing for £30. and it runs from a micro usb cable. Got it powered from an always on USB port on a gaming rig then through powerlines to the router at the other side of the house.

So close to being brilliant
I bought this to provide wireless connectivity to a digital mixing desk.The reviews were a it hit and miss in terms of the set-up but decided to give it a go due to its small footprint and price.I've wired the antennae out and upgraded those and everything works greatPros - it is super simple to set-up, I had it working in minutes. It is very small (which for me is great) and it is god value for money for a 2.4GHz router (it's not dual channel, which isn't an issue for me)Cons - the major problem with this item is the power supply lead (small usb) which falls out with the slightest movement of anything at all. I've got the router velcroed down positioned so the the lead is against the side of the case but even like that it still manages to fall out !!So in short this would be great for a fixed installation but if you're planning on building it into anything that you might move the power lead will keep falling out and will drive you potty !!

Well worth it
Really excellent signal booster that actually works, after using for a few weeks it really is good! I have signal outside where I previously had none although not required it shows how good it is.
