I travel with video gear for live streams. Therefore, packing as much gear, and keeping under 50 lbs per bag is critical. So when items are small, and light-weight, I love it. Case in point, the GL.iNet Slate. A travel router that I can use in multiple ways.

About the GL.iNet Slate

This is a 1GB 3-connection router that supplies WiFi AC, and Open WRT for under $70. You can select port 1 as a WAN input, or output if you either tether your phone, or use another WiFi signal.

Internally, the QCA9563 (@775MHz) SoC processor will handle multiple requests, so having 3-4 computers on (or more) won’t be a problem GL.iNet has tested up to 25 connections, but with some wait times. 

The Slate emits 2.4 and 5 GHz Wireless to your other devices. Tether your phone,
