The GL-MT300N-V2, or Mango, utilizes a MediaTek MT7628NN System-on-Chip (SoC) optimized for low power consumption, requiring 5V/1A via a micro-USB interface. Technical specifications list 128MB of RAM and 16MB of Flash memory, supporting a standard N300 (2.4GHz) wireless profile. Material analysis of the PCB reveals integrated 2dBi antennas and two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports. The device is designed as a compact security node for hotel and travel environments.
Operational features include:
- VPN Protocols: Integrated support for WireGuard and OpenVPN.
- Software: OpenWrt-based firmware with a proprietary UI wrapper.
- User Interface: Physical toggle switch mappable for VPN control.
Performance metrics show that the lack of AES hardware acceleration limits OpenVPN speeds to approximately 10Mbps, while WireGuard protocols can achieve 45-50Mbps. Aggregated data indicates the 2.4GHz frequency is the sole wireless band, making the unit susceptible to interference in high-density areas. The device supports MAC address cloning to facilitate connection to public wireless networks with captive portals.
For users requiring 5GHz band support and Wi-Fi 6 speeds, the Beryl AX offers a higher-performance hardware path. This unit is listed in the vpn-routers category as a budget-entry travel gateway.
