Pairing the GL-MT3000 with a 4G/5G Travel Router or Public Wifi.
One of the GL.iNet Beryl AX's most valuable features is its ability to act as a standalone Wi-Fi 6 router. When paired with a 5G or 4G travel router, you can:
- Use the travel router to connect to the internet via cellular networks.
- Leverage the GL-MT3000 for a fast, stable, and private internal network.
This setup is ideal for scenarios such as:
- Photo and Video Transmission: Quickly transfer large media files between devices without relying on the slower speeds of cellular networks.
- Remote Work: Ensure reliable connections for multiple devices while maintaining internet access.
- On-the-Go Collaboration: Create a secure network for team projects while traveling.
To set up the router with internet access, access its firmware through a web browser (refer to the manufacturer's instructions) and configure it in Repeater/Extender mode. Then, connect it to a network with internet access, such as public Wi-Fi or a portable 4G/5G router. This setup not only enables internet connectivity but also adds a layer of security by shielding your devices from direct exposure to public networks.
With the right pairing, the GL-MT3000 transforms into a robust solution for professional workflows, combining flexibility with high-speed internal networking.
