Overview
The GL.iNet GL-A1300 Slate Plus is a dual-band Wi-Fi 5 travel router with 3 Ethernet ports and a USB 3.0 port. It runs on USB-C power and is built for sharing hotel or public Wi-Fi on the move with VPN support.
Who it suits
This router is suited to travellers who need to connect to hotel or public Wi-Fi networks and re-share that connection securely. It fits users who want a compact router with wired Ethernet options and USB expansion rather than a home mesh setup.
Reasons to consider it
It includes 3 Ethernet ports with 1 Gbps max speed, giving wired connection options alongside Wi-Fi. The USB 3.0 port and USB-C power input add flexibility for powering the device and attaching storage or modems. Its intended use is explicitly built around sharing public or hotel Wi-Fi with VPN, matching typical travel router needs.
Limitations and compatibility checks
It does not support 6 GHz and is limited to Wi-Fi 5 dual-band operation, so it will not match newer Wi-Fi 6 or 6E hardware. There is no wired backhaul or PoE support, and ecosystem or supported mode details are not specified, so mesh expansion isn't confirmed.
