I originally bought this GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 travel router for a trip to Mexico, and it worked perfectly. Now that I'm back, I've found it incredibly useful at work. Our office Wi-Fi is notoriously congested, but there are plenty of Ethernet ports available. This little router lets me create my own private Wi-Fi network using the wired connection, bypassing the crowded office network and giving me much more stable and faster speeds. It's compact, easy to set up, and has become an essential part of my daily work setup.

I Like StuffReviewed in the United States on September 28, 2024

I’ve been using the GL SFT1200 router for a bit now, and I have to say, I’m seriously impressed. From the moment I unboxed it, it was almost a plug-and-play setup. I had it up and running within minutes, and accessing the admin control panel through the web interface was a breeze. If you're not super tech-savvy, don’t worry—it's incredibly user-friendly. You won’t get lost in the process of setting it up. What really makes this router stand out is the sheer number of settings and configurations you can play around with. It’s packed with customization options that let you fine-tune your network just the way you want it. Whether it's setting up a guest network, parental controls, or VPN configurations, it's all here. I haven’t seen this much flexibility in other routers I’ve used in the past. It’s perfect if you love to tinker with settings. Despite its small size, this router is a beast. It’s surprisingly powerful for something so compact, and it handles multiple devices with ease. Streaming, gaming, and working from home haven’t posed any issues. One thing to note, though—it does run a little warm, but nothing that seems to affect performance. I’ve read other reviews mentioning this too, so it seems pretty normal. The range and signal strength are impressive considering the size, and the portability factor is another big plus. You can easily take this with you if you need a strong, secure connection while traveling. In short, if you’re looking for a router that’s powerful, customizable, and super easy to set up, I highly recommend the GL SFT1200. It’s got everything you’d want in a router, plus some features you might not even know you needed until you have one.

The router performance is about the same as the Tenda AC1200 AC8 it replaced. It does that with MUCH smaller antenna and only two of them compared with 4 antennae of the AC8. Prepare for very small fonts in the start up instructions! I did have an issue and needed to go online to the site for clarification. Possibly due to language differences there was confusion as to which password to enter into the router once it rebooted. Either the new router password or the host password. That was resolved and the router has run smoothly since 12/11/24. It was setup in our house but it will be transferred to an office environment shortly where its host and password will again be changed before it settles into service at that location. Based on its performance we ordered three more. This router was approved for use by our national organization. We also bought the carry cases for them as Amazon offered a case designed for this router. We do need a case to protect the router when not in use. If you use "WISP" mode to connect to the host wirelessly this router does not have one. Its equivalent mode is "Repeater" and it works the same as WISP as it connects to the host and on to the Internet in our case. We have not used the router in any other mode, however we expect that it will meet our expectations. There are two LAN and one WAN port along with a 2.0 USB port. With its small size we may use a switch for allowing access to other devices. A four port switch device is very light and won't interfere with portability this router affords. The color blends in very well with our office surroundings. The AC8 was only offered in black or white colors and with 4 large antennae it did not blend in very well. Packing it for travel or storage was very annoying. This Opal router works well and has side benefits. The antennae design worked well in a TP-Link access point we used several years ago. The Internet speed test we ran did not differ very much from the AC8 design so we expect about the same performance from this smaller unit as compared to the larger Tenda AC8 design. I also bought one for our house. A nice touch was the power supply and cord. Both match the unit color and the plug has a unique design. The cord is a flat design that FOLDS very nice within itself. I am NOT going to purchase round cords any longer. When one coils (folds) this cord just follow the contours that you see when you first look at the unit in the box. You can then fold it back into the same size. I took a photo of it so I could refold it correctly and it DID! A nice small package without using an elastic. Its funny how the little things add up to a nice design. The Gli folks have a nice design throughout the product. Even the box design is very well done. BTW the route unit takes up about 1/2 the box and the cord and power supply take up the other half. The router is in a soft sleeve and one will realize it is only 1/2 of the box size. The plug of the power cord will need a 10 second assembly. It seems to be a universal plug that allows the unit to adapt to US, EU and other electrical systems. The contacts assembly are separate from the remainder of the cord assembly. The instructions indicate how to connect the contacts to assemble it to the cord unit by aligning the contact unit with the cord unit and then clicking the two into place with a slight twist of the wrist. Sounds complicated BUT it is like aligning an aspirin bottle top with the bottle edge and slightly twisting the top on. The U.S. model has a standard U.S. plug contacts. The units going to the EU probably have the EU type contact assembly. Slick! We do not need speed greater than the AC1200 standard right now. However, if we need more speed or more features the GLi company will be the first place we will look. GLi put a lot of thought into their design and it makes me confident that their electronics are designed with the same care and detail.

Comprato volutamente questo AP WIFI poiché poco costoso, dovevo principalmente utilizzarlo per poter avere il Wi-Fi pure nella mia camera da letto, non mi aspettavo una grande copertura. A differenza dalle aspettative il WIFI si raggiunge senza problemi pure in altre stanze e il firmware permette di fare di tutto, ha più opzioni e personalizzazioni del mio AP principale che è costato molto di più.

If you're interested in networking, it's fun to have one of these around just to play with, let alone the benefits it offers if you travel often. It runs OpenWRT behind the scenes with a nice, custom GUI overtop. Not only can it act as a Wi-Fi repeater, it can go from Wi-Fi to ethernet, ethernet to Wi-Fi, and act as a small switch. It has built in support for multiple VPN types, including Wireguard, which is by far the best protocol these days. It's very fast and easy to set up, with connecting to the Wireguard peers happening very quickly after activation. You can set the switch on the side to do all sorts of things, including turning your VPN on/off. It also has built-in support for Tor, so you can have a separate Wi-Fi network connected to Tor if you want. You can also directly access the OpenWRT GUI behind the scenes, and you can install all sorts of different networking software packages. I've barely tapped into the stuff this thing can accomplish, and I'm already very satisfied with the price. I think if you want to install a lot of the software, you'd maybe want to find one that has more Flash built-in, but even this model has enough to install and play around with quite a bit. You can SSH in and get access to the Linux system running everything, which is oodles of fun and just begging to be customized. If you just want to play around with networking without messing with your main access point or router, this is a great device for that. If you travel often, you can easily set up a Wireguard peer on your home network which you can then connect to from anywhere in the world, allowing full access to your home network devices and also encrypting your traffic when using untrusted WiFi or LTE/5G. With an external USB LTE/5G modem, it can also connect to the internet that way, but you can also tether your phone to it and still route all your traffic through the VPN. Every businessperson who travels and stays in hotels should have one of these.
