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.

Works lovely
Ethernet input wireless output, easy setup and the upgrade worked multiple phones can connect and use it without it giving up like my old repeater. Good product

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.

Handy device if a little bit tricky to configure.
Handy device if a little bit tricky to configure. I wanted a 2-port ethernet to wifi adapter so I could connect a couple of devices in my office to the wifi network, without having to run a cable from my broadband router to the office. This does the job.

Not a good product
I purchased this unit to use as an extender/repeater on 2.4gig wifi network. Simply it doesn't work.I am very familiar with Ethernet and wifi networks, setting them up is part of my work. I spent several hours trying all options to get this unit operational but to no avail. I could see the unit on the network, it reported it had Internet connectivity but no unit could connect to it whether security was enable or not (open access).I cannot recommend this unit. I have since purchased another unit, took 10 minutes to setup and is working flawlessly. This unit is Junk
