The GL-MT3000, known as Beryl AX, features a MediaTek MT7981B (Filogic 820) dual-core 1.3GHz CPU and a 2.5G multi-gigabit WAN/LAN port. Performance metrics indicate WireGuard VPN throughput of approximately 300Mbps, supported by hardware-based encryption acceleration. The thermal management system includes a high-density aluminum heatsink and an integrated PWM-controlled fan to mitigate heat from the AX3000 radio, which operates at up to 2402Mbps on the 5GHz band.
Hardware and software features include:
- Encryption Control: Programmable physical toggle for VPN/Tor activation.
- OS Environment: OpenWrt 4.x firmware with no mandatory cloud subscription.
- Spectrum Management: Native DFS support for congested signal environments.
Aggregated data confirms a power requirement of 5V/3A via USB-C. Technical documentation indicates that inadequate power sources may lead to system instability during peak 5GHz radio usage. The 2.5G port prevents data bottlenecks when the unit is interfaced with high-speed fiber backbones.
To maintain operational stability during power transitions, it is recommended to utilize portable power stations when using this router in mobile environments. This product is categorized under vpn-routers as a prosumer-grade travel node.
