Setting up the GL iNet GL XE300 was surprisingly smooth—and honestly, kind of fun. As someone who travels frequently for work, I needed a portable router that could handle LTE connections, support VPNs, and remain stable across different environments. The XE300 delivered.
The setup began with connecting to the router’s admin panel via 192.168.8.1
. From there, I configured the cellular interface, inserted my SIM, and let it auto-detect the APN—simple and fast. Next came the VPN setup. I opted for WireGuard, which worked flawlessly with just a few configuration imports. I was online, secured, and streaming in no time.
This rugged little box is more than just a travel gadget—it’s become my mobile networking companion. Whether I’m working from a cabin or hopping between cafés, the GL iNet GL XE300 setup ensures I stay connected securely and reliably.
