I didn’t know I needed this - GL.iNet Beryl AX turns out to be one of those unexpectedly useful travel gadgets that fits in your pocket yet punches above its size. The video kicks off with an unboxing that emphasizes how small and travel friendly the router is, highlighting the compact power brick, USB-C connectivity, and the idea of having a portable network hub on the go. The host runs through the box contents, the quick setup experience, and the physical feel of the device, then transitions into a live speed test that demonstrates surprisingly strong throughputs even when the signal is tested at different distances from the router. As the unit is connected to a fiber upstream, the results show robust download and upload rates that push past several hundred megabits per second over Wi-Fi, validating the device’s real world potential for travelers and remote workers. The video then explores the OpenWrt based web panel, showcasing practical features from multi-WAN and failover to USB tethering, VPN options, and a suite of built in services like AdGuard Home and ZeroTier, emphasizing how these settings empower users to customize a secure, portable network experience. In concluding, the presenter discusses real world use cases such as VPN client mode for work networks, guest networks, network storage, and the possibility of using the Beryl AX as a dedicated Wi‑Fi extender or a private gateway, wrapping up with price and coupon incentives that make the device an accessible pick for tech enthusiasts and frequent travelers alike.
