help GL.iNet GL-MT7663 (Slate Plus) FAQ
Is GL-MT7663 the model number for the Slate Plus?
No, the official Slate Plus model is GL-A1300. MT7663 refers to MediaTek wireless hardware used in some devices, but it is not GL.iNet's retail model name for this router.
Does the Slate Plus support Wi-Fi 6?
No, the GL-A1300 Slate Plus is a dual-band Wi-Fi 5 router with advertised rates up to 400 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 867 Mbps on 5 GHz. GL.iNet's Slate AX, model GL-AXT1800, is the similarly named Wi-Fi 6 alternative.
Can the Slate Plus run WireGuard and OpenVPN?
Yes, GL.iNet's firmware provides client and server support for both WireGuard and OpenVPN. Real throughput will be lower than the router's raw Wi-Fi link rate because encryption and the remote VPN server can become bottlenecks.
What ports does the Slate Plus provide for travel use?
The GL-A1300 includes three Gigabit Ethernet ports plus USB-C power and a USB port for supported peripherals. It can repeat hotel Wi-Fi while placing a traveler's devices behind one OpenWrt-based router.
