I admit it..."I Geek therefore I Am."....8-)
Now, I purchased this micro router to do some work with the ever breeding colonies of Raspberry Pi's I seem to be accumulating like un-neutered kitties.
I wanted a hackable, configurable and flexible piece of kit that would allow me to use it as a bridge, a router or a wireless extender as required, be capable of adding additional firewall filtering and protection if required and run off USB power. Oh and be small, compact, reasonably robust and cheap enough to not cry when I inevitably break it.
Enter stage right the GL.iNet GL-USB150 Microuter….. This lovely bit of fun runs a full (albeit small) Linux computer with the OpenWRT router software and comes with a two stage (Basic and Advanced) web front end to manage it.
Initial screen after you connect to it as a wireless access point (as per the instructions) is a pretty simple, menu driven web browser interface which for most folks is all they will ever need to access. It also allows you to access the "advanced" screen which will allow for detailed management, configuration and tweaking if you want to let your geek flag fly...…..However..... remember I mentioned that it is actually a small Linux computer..?
That means, within the space limitations of the device, you can add all sorts of software, to add additional and greater functionality to the device as well as update the device to the latest and most stable versions of the operating system at will.
In my case, I added the TOR connectivity to the device and OpenVPN client to allow me to connect securely and privately to sites that may be blocked by your Starbucks or hotel hotspot.
Get lost, mess up or over configure, not a problem, insert a pin into the hole in the side of the device, power on and hold for 10 seconds and you're right back to that fresh new software smell.
Excellent bit of kit, well worth the spend, so I bought two and now I'm looking into seeing if I can add extra drive storage via the USB connection...if I break it, no biggie.
