Product Description Video name: MT3600BE Review: Perfect solution for remote access to homelab and self-hosted services. - Recommended by a friend to solve the problem of VPN and Tailscale access on devices where the software can't be installed, I bought this router and have already found to be easy to set up and put to use. Everything you need is included in the box, particularly the USB-C charger (with UK, EU, US and Australia adapters) which has sufficient power to keep your phone charged while you are tethering it via USB. Plenty of guides online for things like updating the Tailscale client version and setting up various wireguard VPN clients. Review: Punches above its size - Picked this up on offer and it's a great little router. I'm using it to replace my ISP router in a 3-bed house, which the ISP one always struggled with. Even positioned in a far corner, with antennae folded, the Beryl 7 gives better signal than the full-size ISP router in the same spot. The feature set is excellent. I can route specific devices through VPN at the router level rather than running it locally, and there's secure DNS I use for an ad blocking resolver, though it can also handle that locally. It maxes out my symmetric 900mbps connection without issue over WiFi, and with VPN active I'm still seeing around 800mbps, which is impressive. Long term I may pick up a Flint router for home and keep this dedicated to travel, but for now it's doing both jobs well. If I'm away for a stretch I can just swap the ISP router back in. Thoroughly recommend it.
