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

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.

Struggles to buffer streaming services
This is a great product for the cost but I would have preferred to spend an extra $10 and get one that has an easier time with streaming. On a 45 minute show, it probably buffers 10 times or so. It only buffers for a second or two, so it is only a minor inconvenience. It is very easy and straight forward to set up on the app but very difficult to do so on a laptop. I am happy with this product but would spend a little extra money next time for something with a slightly better cpu.

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.

Good budget device, but firmware can remove features
Fantastic little product for the price. It's immensely tiny, smaller than the palm of your hand but does the trick. As expected it's throughput isn't the best, Ethernet you're capped with 100mb ports, and the wifi is capped at 300Mb, but this is likely more than enough if you're just trying to tether your mobile connection. Wifi range isn't the best, but fine for say an hotel room which I think is the idea of this device.My main criticism is with the way the firmware is done on these devices. I'd read some reviews of this product and they mentioned file sharing across LAN, which is what influenced my purchasing decision as I was interested in something low cost/small for it. Unfortunately it turns out this, among many other of their lower priced routers, had the feature removed so that other features could take its place on the latest firmware versions. They give instructions to bring back the functionality which involves some knowledge of linux command line and/or openwrt, but unfortunately it seems like the packages just aren't on their servers for this device since when I went to install what they listed on their forums, it says some of the packages aren't available. They do offer the older firmware on their website which you can freely downgrade to get the functionality back, but I'd say for most people I wouldn't recommend doing that. You won't have access to recent security patches if you do.They've said in the future they might add it back by default, but well, we'll see. Personally I find it a bit odd that functionality can just be removed by firmware updates.

Surprisingly good open vpn
Very good modem, but don't expect very fast speeds, the open VPN works very well. It is fairly stable, but needs occasional reboots.
