GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2 (Mango) Portable Travel Router
Networking
“The GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2 Mango is a tiny travel router with an MT7628NN CPU, 128MB RAM, micro‑USB power, and 2.4GHz 300Mbps Wi‑Fi. It ships with OpenVPN and WireGuard clients (good for secure travel use) but its modest CPU and limited flash/storage constrain VPN throughput and extensibility, making it a strong traveler tool but not a high‑performance or heavily customized gateway.”
