That's a fantastic piece of gear! It's unfortunate the mini-usb power port isn't on the same side as the RJ45 jack. That one change would've saved quite a bit on space.

It's a nice compact travel router, but software is deeply inferior to the GL.iNet family of travel routers. GL.iNet is open-source, based on DDWRT.

Neil,
  > GL.iNet family of travel routers

Thanks, and yes, I have a GL.iNet travel router, also my home router is a GL-MT6000 - and I couldn't agree with you more.

I was looking at something smaller to throw in with a traveling laptop.  I know Lewis wrote up docs on the GWU627, but the GWU627 is no longer available, and appears to have been replaced with the GWU637.
