![]() ![]() Just as an FYI: GL iNet has announced that the GL-750S-EXT is an End of Life product. GL iNet sells some, but I have no experience with them. Lastly, excuse my ignorance, but will some countries have other versions like 3G, 4G, etc? And if so, will those be covered under these models?ģG and 4G are normally phone modems, that use cell signal for WAN, that can be part of a router or separate. I don’t have any hands-on experience with non-GL iNet travel routers. Is this the model that you’re referring to?Īlso, are you familiar with any non “travel” models that support both 2G and 5G that are even stronger?įirst off there is a big different between 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G as these are cellular specs, and 2.4GHz and 5GHz which are WIFI frequencies. ![]() I just did an inspection.Īre you sure your home router is not transmitting on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz with the same SSID? There is no 5GHz radio in a MT300N-V2Īlso, I confirmed by the AirBnB owner in the Columbia that she had 5ghz (but we were connected by ethernet).Īn Ethernet connection overrides a WWAN connection, so you were using the Ethernet connection. I’m connected to 5ghz right now at my place via wifi. When you are on constant travel, and you depend on your router, Just Works is my highest priority. I have read a bunch of posts in this forum on different problems reported on the Slate AX, which it is one of several reasons that I am sticking with my tried and true AR750S, as it just works. To make sure I don’t get blocked and to work around different VPN issues I keep finding while traveling, I use a mixture of Wireguard, OpenVPN and SoftEther VPN servers/clients. All my internet traffic goes through my private VPN servers that I control. Depending on the hotel or Airbnb, I have used both Ethernet or W-Wan for my WAN connection, and normally use Ethernet to my PC, and WIFI for my local network for phones and tablets. I have spent most of this year using it in Mexico, Central and South America. I have no experience with the Slate AX, but I do have the original Slate, GL-AR750S, that works well on both 2.4 and 5GHz. If you look at the specs of a MT300N-V2, it is a 2.4GHz only device, so I cannot see how it ever connected on 5GHz. Has anyone had similar issues? Why does it find it sometimes and not always? Is there a setting to make sure it always finds all types of networks? My entire trip and livelihood will be depending on these, so I need to make sure I get them figured out soon. I also just purchased the GL-AXT1800 (Slate AX), which I haven’t set up and tested yet, but I read in another forum that someone was having problems finding 5ghz networks as well. Also, I’m not sure what the specs will be in these other countries. That said, I’ve tested it in a few places, including my own, and I’ve found that when I do a scan for local wifi networks sometimes it finds 5ghz (like at my place) and other times it doesn’t find them, and only finds 2ghz. That being said, I have another friend now who is helping me set it up and he recommends using the repeater since the router and modem aren’t always accessible in AirBnBs. ![]() I used this once in Colombia, but my buddy who is much more technical than me set it up with the ethernet cable. I’m about to go travel to different countries in Latin American and stay in AirBnBs. ![]()
