    PERFECT CUSTOMER SERVICE

    "would like to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Bernard Lo for his excellent support. He responded very quickly and guided me through all the necessary steps to get the software working properly. Nowadays, it is not easy to find such a high level of customer service, so I was genuinely impressed by the way he handled my case. His approach was both professional and friendly. Thank you once again to GL. iNet for providing outstanding service and support. Kind regards,"

    — Tammy P. (5/5)

    "It took a long time to ship but when it finally did it arrived next day. The instructions could be more clear about the firat start procedure as well as what in the sticker is the actual password. Adding a vpn should get aome attention as it took an hour for me to figure out how to get a working configuration file from my VPN that the router would accept."

    — Stephen (5/5)

    "These are definetly some of the best routers sold. And the support is pretty awesome i would say the best. The only downside is I am in the U. S. so sometimes the support responds from an international time zone. But they always respond and they always help, you can tell they are tech people. Great products all the time."

    — Salvatore (5/5)

    VERY convenient to have in

    "VERY convenient to have in my laptop bag. I wish I found this years ago."

    — David M. (5/5)

    Small, reliable, and simple to use

    "The Slate AX definitely exceeded my expectations. I travel a lot for work and never even thought of the idea of a travel router or knew that it existed. I needed a reliable way to connect to my home network that was safe and easy to transport. This hit every requirement for me. I was blown away with how quick and easy this was to be able to setup and use. It connects effortlessly to hotel wifi and does exactly what it is supposed to do! I do not leave on a work trip without it!"

    Go for Slate AX!

    "I upgraded to the Slate AX from the Opal, and the experience is definitely noticeable. So far I haven't found an a Wi-Fi connection that the Slate AX won't connect to, unlike the Opal. This router has accompanied me an several trip and an international trip as well. The VPN capability with NordVPN and my own personal VPN server was very seamless and easy to setup. The hotel portal feature in order to connect to hotel Wi-Fi has worked great as well. Pairs great with a compact USB drive to plug into the back for file sharing or loading movies onto. Overall great product that I would recommend for any traveler who wants peace of mind with their network or even if someone needs a temporary router while moving."

    — Logan (5/5)

    Absolutely the best. It wasn't

    "Absolutely the best. It wasn't until I followed the instructions, only to realize that it was really easy to setup the unit and VPN client configuration. The speed is great and configuration / connection was easy enough for anyone to do. I have ONLY great things to talk about. Trust me, order it and you will know ~V"

    — Venkata V. (5/5)

    Best Travel Router Ever!

    "I love this travel router! It is one of the tools that I always keep in my toolbox when traveling for work. This router is fast, easy to setup, and above all else, reliable. It just works. The only thing i wish is that it is faster in repeater mode, but otherwise. This thing is awesome!"
