GL.INET Wi-Fi 7 router Slate 7 Pro GL-BE10000

The GL.iNet Slate 7 Pro is a tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router and one of the first devices to fully use the benefits of three-band aggregation. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) lets it use several bands at once and switch between them in real time, while the dedicated 6 GHz band helps avoid congested channels. It suits business travel, remote work and applications that need high bandwidth and low latency.

A 2.8-inch touchscreen lets you manage key network functions directly on the router, including monitoring its status, sharing the Wi-Fi network and switching the VPN on or off. An integrated Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine analyses traffic in real time, and Multi-WAN with automatic failover keeps connections stable. WireGuard VPN reaches up to 1100 Mbps, and more than 30 popular VPN providers are supported.

Two 2.5-gigabit ports can be configured as WAN or LAN, and a USB Type-C 3.0 port lets you share another device's internet connection. The router runs on OpenWrt, giving users extensive options for customising their network.
