" ... Pretty convenient router to use for travel to have a single hub for all your devices to connect to wifi. ... "
" ... I use it as a wireless client, which at the same time provides its own private wireless network that egresses via the built-in openvpn client through a VPN service. ... It lets you connect through untrusted networks safely. ... "
" ... use the 5G wifi as the access for all my PCs/phones. ... While the 2.4G wifi is dedicated for wisp (I have it "off" for regular wireless setting). ... "
" ... Works well for getting your Xbox on the hotel wifi. ... That registers this routers Mac address with the hotel internet system. ... It keeps a stable connection on the hotel wifi and keeps my devices all connected to my private net. ... "

" ... connect to the local WiFi network AND successfully authenticate w/ the captive portal so your phone/tablet/etc can safely access the Internet. ... Once AR750 connects, successfully getting passed thru to the captive portal to authenticate can take multiple tries (including reboot . ... Few times gave up and direct connected. ... "
" ... use the 5G wifi as the access for all my PCs/phones. ... I am glad it works as advertised compared to other GL.iNet devices. ... "
" ... I primarily use mine in WISP mode, because I carry multiple devices and computers, and I can fire this up, then connect to wifi from it, then connect all my devices to the wifi "bubble" it creates. ... If that network has a portal page, it passes that through and you sign in from your device. ... "
" ... With three people's phones, computers, Chromecasts, and Google Homes - plus some smart home stuff - it has been just fine. ... "
" ... Same VPN provider on other devices (iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro) works fine. ... "
" ... I have used a ton of small Linux devices over the years, and this one is very fast and capable for its intended task. ... "
" ... I like that it does both 2.4 and 5g, and that you can tether from a phone. ... Overall wish I had bought a different device. ... "
" ... It was easy to connect the GL-AR750 in WISP mode to the mobile hotspot via the GL-AR750's web interface. ... "

" ... As for the vpn. ... "
" ... It is a mobile professional's dream router . ... "
" ... I wanted a router to plug into an existing modem/router and provide a new wireless network, but the options I needed weren't available in the basic settings -- I had to go into the advanced settings and experiment a bit (a bit of guess-work and testing) to get the router working the way I needed/wanted. ... "

" ... Hopefully a software update might fix the problems ... "
" ... However, it does not work with login passthrough so you're stuck there. ... "
" ... I'm not a Linux guy and I'm not digging through the file system to make it right, this is something the programmers at GL-inet should have thought of when they designed and programmed it. ... "
" ... The user interface is bizarre and counter-intuitive, and the documentation and error messages are scant and not very helpful. ... "
" ... Unable to download it from repository. ... "
" ... The router has some preinstalled software and add-ons that are more catered towards the Chinese community (e.g. ... Shadowsocks), and in order to get to the actual LEDE/OpenWrt interface, you will have to go through a custom UI before you are prompted for the LEDE/OpenWrt login. ... The device is using an older snapshot build of LEDE, which can be problematic when you want to download packages that require kernel changes as the updated packages would require a snapshot kernel rather than the one installed on the device. ...

" ... I plugged the hotspot into the USB port on the router and was able to share the connection and broadcast a stronger wifi signal than I could ever get with the hotspot itself. ... While I was also messing with the router some more you can actually have anything connected to the Lan ports go throw the VPN and have the wifi not use the VPN. ... "
