Just finished my GL.iNet mini router setup, and I was impressed by how intuitive the interface was—especially for configuring VPN and repeater mode. Curious if anyone here has explored custom firmware or travel use cases beyond the basics?

I use my GL.iNet mainly for travel, and loading it with a VPN profile I found through VPNReviewCompass made airport Wi-Fi feel a lot safer. Haven’t tried custom firmware yet, but it’s on my list.

A minor setting that is often overlooked is the cause of the Linksys port forwarding not working problems that I have observed in a few users. Since dynamic IPs can violate the rule, make sure the device you're forwarding to has a static IP address. Additionally, check that your manual port forwarding and UPnP are not in conflict. After making adjustments, a quick router reboot can occasionally be helpful. I hope these tips will help you get started!
