Repeater¶
Set up your router as a repeater to extend the Wi-Fi coverage of an existing Wi-Fi network. As a repeater, it receives and retransmits wireless signals within its range, thereby extending its coverage. This method is useful when a single router cannot cover the entire usage area.

Multi-WAN¶
Multi-WAN is a networking feature that allows you to set up your router with multiple internet connections (e.g., Ethernet, Repeater) at the same time. If the top-priority internet connection fails, the router will automatically switch to another internet connection. This is also called Failover, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted internet access.
Go to Multi-WAN to set the priority of each Internet connection.
Alternatively, you can switch the Multi-WAN mode from Failover to Load Balance, which enables you to use multiple network interfaces at the same time to increase the total bandwidth of the router.
WIRELESS¶
The wireless settings lets users manage network security of the primary Wi-Fi and the Guest Wi-Fi, it is accessible by going to WIRELESS on the side menu.

VPN¶
GL.iNet routers are pre-installed with OpenVPN and WireGuard® supporting 30+ VPN services. It automatically encrypts all network traffic within the connected network, including guest devices and client devices that are not capable of running VPN encryption. Our routers can also act as VPN servers, redirecting traffic from client devices in remote locations to the VPN server via a VPN tunnel before accessing the public internet.
