It does a great job of keeping us connected when we travel with the benefit of not having to deal with limits on how many devices we can connect to hotel wifi like some places have. We connect this device only and enjoy the fact that all of our other devices already recognize if because they've already connected to it before, saving the need to log in to the hotel wifi separately for each device we have. The speed is quite sufficient for streaming when the available wifi is fast enough, signal strength is good and has never failed to provide great connectivity in any location we've taken it to. The setup is reasonably simple for anyone who understands what a router does, using the internal web app interface and the included instructions. I recommend setting it up at home on your home wifi and then connecting any devices you travel with to it with them set to remember the connection. This makes it a simple matter to connect the router at your destination and have all of your devices automatically connect to the router every time. The controls are simple and the instruction book is clearly written. One upgrade I'd recommend is to purchase a small case to keep the router and accessories in to minimize the chance of misplacing them. The one we bought was inexpensive and suggested by desertcart when we bought the router and it holds and organizes the router, power supply, and cables perfectly. Review: Great little access point — with one AP setup quirk - This GL.iNet device works very well when used as a dedicated Wi‑Fi access point. It’s compact, fast, and perfect for situations where you want to plug into an existing Ethernet port and add strong, reliable wireless coverage without replacing your main router. Once running, performance and stability are excellent for the price. There is one setup quirk worth knowing: if you switch the unit into Access Point mode (the mode you’ll use if you’re connecting it to an Ethernet jack to act purely as a Wi‑Fi AP), it stops using the default 192.168.8.1 address and receives a new IP from your home network. You need that new IP to reopen the admin login page — but the device doesn’t show it to you. Fortunately, the workaround is simple: open a command prompt and enter arp -a. In the list that appears, look for the entry whose MAC address starts with 94:83:C4 — that’s the GL.iNet access point, and the IP next to it is the one you use to log back in. ## Features - 【AC1200 Dual-band Wireless Router】Simultaneous dual-band with wireless speed up to 300 Mbps (2.4GHz) + 867 Mbps (5GHz). 2.4GHz band can handles some simple tasks like emails or web browsing while bandwidth intensive tasks such as gaming or 4K video streaming can be handled by the 5GHz band.*Speed tests are conducted on a local network.

If you need a fully open-source travel router, please consider the GL-AR750S. **Q: Do this router have openwrt installed on it?** A: The OpenWrt version of SFT1200 is 1806 and it is NOT Fully open source. **Q: Can the Opal be used as a wi-fi to wired ethernet bridge? I don't want to repeat any wi-fi signal, Only connect to an existing wi-fi via wired etherne** A: There isn't an explicit mode for connecting as a wireless client bridge. A work-around to this may be to switch off both 2.4 and 5GHz wireless networks, while in the default router mode. This step should prevent other wireless devices from using the Opal as a repeater. One that is done, you can change the operational mode from router to WDS (if your main router supports it) or extender mode otherwise. Full disclosure: this approach works for me on the Beryl model, so I think there is a better than even chance it will also work on Opal, but that is an untested assumption right now. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Made travel with wifi devices SO much more convenient. *by K***E on June 25, 2026* This little travel router is an awesome little workhorse.

Bang for your buck, this is one of the best value in routers that exists. That said, it is an older router with limitations. Know before you buy: Look, this is NOT a power router with huge throughput for OpenVPN, WireGuard, or your favorite commercial VPN. It will work just great if you need to do normal day-to-day work, but if you're trying to move large files or backhaul multiple video streams via VPN, there are limits to its throughput. The reason is simple: VPNs use a lot of CPU and memory for the overhead of encryption. At this price-point you're not getting a huge processor or a lot of memory. If you need a lot of VPN throughput, then look at GL.iNet's higher-end travel routers for the same form factor and the throughput performance you are looking for. For everyone else, this is the travel router you want. It is an OpenWRT router (though not capable of the newest builds) and will support all of the features you would expect on a router 2-4x the price. Very easy to setup and administer to share an internet connection through tethering to your cell phone or sharing a public WiFi. This device is also easily setup as a VPN server behind your typical NAT primary router by port forwarding. Range is good for the travel form-factor and power consumption. It doesn't hold a candle to the range of my primary router at home, but it still covers the entirety of our 6,000sf home, just at lower signal & throughput a the furthest distances. ## Frequently Bought Together - GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 (Opal) Secure Travel WiFi Router, AC1200 Dual Band Gigabit Ethernet Wireless Network, IPv6 USB 2.0, Repeater Bridge Access Point Mode, Router for Public Use, Easy Setup with Guide - GL.iNet Gadget Organizer Case for Travel Routers GL-AXT1800/ GL-MT3000/ GL-SFT1200/ GL-E750, Chargers, Cables, and Accessories, Sturdy & Durable Pouch, Hand-carry EVA bag, Anti-shock, Water Resistant - GL.iNet GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX) Portable Travel Router, Pocket-Sized Wi-Fi 6 Wireless Travel Gigabit Router, with OpenVPN & Wireguard for Public & Hotel Wi-Fi Use, Suitable for Cruise/RV/Airplane/Hotel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/404893631-gl-sft1200-opal-travel-router-ac1200-dual-band-wi-fi](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/404893631-gl-sft1200-opal-travel-router-ac1200-dual-band-wi-fi) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-08-11*
