GL.iNet has opened pre-orders for the Slate 7 Pro at $189.90, pitching it as the first travel router with tri-band Wi-Fi 7 and wireless speeds up to 10Gbps.
The compact router targets travelers and remote workers who need faster, safer connections on public or temporary networks, using Deep Packet Inspection to improve visibility and block malicious traffic.
Tri-band support spans 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz, while 2.5Gbps WAN and LAN ports, USB 3.0 for storage or a 5G modem, and a 2.8-inch touchscreen aim to simplify setup and high-speed sharing.
A 2GHz MediaTek quad-core chip supports WireGuard at up to 1,100 Mbps and OpenVPN at 1,000 Mbps, with VPN obfuscation designed to reduce throttling or blocking under stricter network controls.
Are its futuristic 10Gbps speeds a necessary upgrade or just powerful marketing hype for today's devices?
Can this pocket router’s cloaking tech truly outsmart the world's most advanced state firewalls?
