2.5G Multi-gigabit WAN port
An Exceptional Wi-Fi 6 Experience
Wi-Fi 6's is a powerful upgrade in mass device connectivity and OFDMA data transmission efficiency technologies. On top of this, Wi-Fi 6 comes with a series of internet technology breakthroughs, including Beamforming for enhanced coverage and BSS Coloring for minimal network congestion.
Video buffering ruins the media experience. Beryl AX's Wi-Fi 6 speed supports a family usage of multiple devices streaming 4K videos without being interrupted by data buffering.
Every single ping matters. Beryl AX's Wi-Fi 6 protocol processes network data more efficiently than older internet protocols, reducing the latency for game servers to respond.
Beryl AX processes VPN efficiently, granting remote workforce or employees on business trips a conveniently secured VPN tunnel for accessing company's sensitive data or the public internet under public Wi-Fi or unknown networks.
Beryl AX dramatically improves Wi-Fi congestion in condense apartment environments. It supports OFDMA technologies on processing network data from multiple devices efficiently and using BSS Coloring technology to avoid congested channels from neighboring Wi-Fi signals.
Securing Your Internet In The Background
Beryl AX (GL-MT3000) is pre-installed with OpenVPN and WireGuard® supporting 30+ VPN services. It automatically encrypts all network traffic within the connected network, including guest or client devices that are not capable of running VPN. Beryl AX can also host VPN servers and supports VPN Cascading, automatically forwarding data from its VPN server to the VPN client within the same device.

70+ Devices Mass Device Connectivity
Wi-Fi 6's is a powerful upgrade in mass device connectivity and OFDMA data transmission efficiency technologies, letting Beryl AX connect with 70+ devices simultaneously. On top of this, Wi-Fi 6 comes with a series of internet technology breakthroughs, including Beamforming for enhanced coverage and BSS Coloring for minimal network congestion.
An Engineering Masterpiece
Beryl AX comes with a 2.5G Multi-gigabit WAN port and a 1G gigabit LAN port, it is capable of processing network and VPN packets efficiently using its MediaTek MT7981B 1.3GHz Dual-core processor. The router also comes with a Type-C power supply and a USB 3.0 port for external storage.
Runs on OpenWrt 21.02 (Kernel version 5.4)
Beryl AX's latest SDK4.0+ firmware presents a user-friendly interface for common users to set up the router with minimal inputs, and an extended customization experience for advanced users to install plug-ins and applications. Beryl AX runs on open source OpenWrt 21.02 (Kernel version 5.4) firmware, supporting more than 5,000 ready-made plug-ins for customization. Simply browse, install, and manage packages with our no-code interface within Beryl AX's Admin Panel.
Access Your Local Network Storage from Anywhere
Our local network storage feature supports SAMBA and WebDav protocol. By plugging an external USB hard disc into the router, you can create a private network to store and share your documents. No matter for work or family, you can benefit from easy file access. Save space on your devices by storing photos and videos on the network.
DFS Certification in US, UK, Europe & Japan
Beryl AX is approved to use DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection), letting the router's 5GHz network use additional frequencies normally reserved by military, satellite, and weather radar applications. The selection of additional channels can lower network congestion under high density network environments.
Protected by Multiple Layers of Security
WPA3 protocol
The latest Wi-Fi security protocol with extensive improvements including preventive measures against password brute-force attacks, user-to-user snooping, and individualized encryption in public Wi-Fi networks.
DNS over HTTPS & DNS over TLS
Protecting domain name system traffic and preventing data eavesdropping from malicious parties, advertising platforms, and ISPs by encrypting plaintext DNS traffic using HTTPS and TLS protocols.
AdGuard Home
Using a DNS server for blocking unwanted tracking and includes a user-friendly web interface to filter selected digital advertisements.
IPv6
The latest internet protocol, featuring built-in authentication for privacy protection, eliminating the need for network address translation, and featuring an improvement in a simplified and efficient routing.

What Our Customer Say
Powerful WiFi router in a palm sized package
Enginerd
I have used 2 other models of GL-iNet's travel routers and have found them to be great products. This is a much more powerful router but still has a dinky little form factor. It comes with a 3 Amp USB-C power adapter that has several different plug attachments that cover a good chunk of the world.
If you travel a lot and use hotel Wifi, you NEED this!
L. Williams
This is a great travel router for connecting to hotel wifi, or other public wifi, in which you cannot be sure of the security of the connection. This router has built in fire wall and VPN capability. It’s easy enough to set up for basic users, but has a lot of power-user configurability.
If you travel often and use public internet this is a necessity!
PR-PR-PR
Overall this router is perfect for travel as it is small, efficient, and powerful and a really good value especially given its specs. It comes with everything you need and the app gives you even more documentation if you need it.
Excellent little router
The13thMan
Build quality immediately impressed me. The router is small enough to effectively be pocket sized and has a premium feel to it, with a clean, smooth design and clearly labelled ports including LAN, 2.5G WAN and a very useful USB-A 3.0 port. A power plug is included but the power port helpfully is a USB-C port so that opens up more options (e.g. power banks) if you aren't near a power socket.
Fast and feature-rich!
Steve L
The firmware is based on OpenWRT and has a dizzying array of features built in, plus add-on packages you can install. There is built-in support for OpenVPN and WireGuard VPN client or server, and I configured WireGuard successfully. Encrypted DNS is supported, as is Tor (I have not used that). I especially like that the 5GHz and 2.4GHz radios are individually configurable for power, and guest networks are supported. There's even the option for a captive portal, and AdGuard Home.
