help GL.iNet GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX) FAQ
Why do travelers buy the GL.iNet GL-MT3000 Beryl AX instead of using hotel Wi-Fi directly?
The Beryl AX lets you connect your own devices to one private travel network, then bridge that network through hotel Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or phone tethering. It is useful when a hotel login page only authorizes one device or when you want all traffic routed through a VPN.
Does the GL-MT3000 Beryl AX really run OpenWrt?
Yes, GL.iNet builds the Beryl AX around OpenWrt with its own simpler web interface on top. Advanced users can still reach the underlying OpenWrt-style controls, which is why it is popular with people who want WireGuard, OpenVPN, AdGuard Home, and custom routing in a travel router.
What makes the Beryl AX different from older GL.iNet travel routers like the Slate or Mango?
The GL-MT3000 is a Wi-Fi 6 travel router, while older compact GL.iNet models such as the Mango were built for much lighter bandwidth needs. The Beryl AX is a better match for modern hotels, Airbnbs, and remote work setups where multiple laptops, phones, and tablets share one secure connection.
Can the GL.iNet Beryl AX run a VPN for every connected device?
Yes, that is one of its main use cases: you configure WireGuard or OpenVPN on the router, then phones, laptops, consoles, and streaming devices use the tunnel without each device needing its own VPN app. WireGuard is usually the preferred choice because it is faster and lighter than OpenVPN on small routers.
