GL.iNet AR300M16 Shadow Portable Mini Travel Wireless Pocket Router WiFi Router Access Point Extender WDS OpenWrt
Expert Take
The GL-AR300M16 is a pocket-sized travel router running OpenWrt with OpenVPN/WireGuard support, dual Ethernet ports, and ~1W power draw. Its single 2.4 GHz radio and 16 MB flash limit it to low‑bandwidth IoT or temporary networks; it struggles with heavy streaming.

- Dual Ethernet ports allow wired LAN/WAN connections.minipcreviewer.com
- OpenWrt with OpenVPN and WireGuard pre‑installed for secure VPN.minipcreviewer.com
Cons

- Limited 16 MB NOR flash restricts expandable software/features.minipcreviewer.com
- Performance only adequate for low‑bandwidth sensors, not heavy streaming.minipcreviewer.com
