Review: Shocked at how good this is for the price. - Its really small. Easy to use. The range is great as well. We have a 90 foot garden and signal went to the bottom of the garden and still got 20 meg speed. normally I get nothing. Crazy. The UI is great and it updated to the latest firmware and restarted fine, and thats without having to download the firmware and stick it on a USB drive. If I had paid double for this I would till very be happy with it. It also acts as a repeater as well. proper amazing for £30. and it runs from a micro usb cable. Got it powered from an always on USB port on a gaming rig then through powerlines to the router at the other side of the house.

But seriously I've been trying for days!??** A: We are very sorry with your case. Please try to reset the router to see if it works. Please check out this link for more information: https://docs.gl-inet.com/en/3/tutorials/repair_network_or_reset_firmware/. **Q: Can you use both ethernet sockets for the laptop clients?** A: Dear customers, GL-AR300M-Lite has only 1 Ethernet port which works as WAN by default. You can only connect to it via Wi-Fi when you first set up the router. Once you have connected to it, you can change the WAN port to LAN port in Internet so that you can connect to it via Ethernet cable.
