Does the GL-BE3600 travel router have a built-in SIM card slot?

Can this router be setup with a private network with private password for protection?

The intuitive touchscreen allows you to scan QR codes for quick Wi-Fi connections, while also enabling real-time speed monitoring, VPN on/off toggling, and switching between preferred VPN providers directly on the display.

Can I use a power bank to charge the GL-BE3600?

Yes, you can use a power bank with Type-C output that supports Power Delivery (PD) at 5V/3A, 9V/3A, or 12V/2.5A. However, for optimal performance, it’s recommended to use the official power adapter to charge the GL-BE3600.

How can I take full advantage of the dual 2.5G Ethernet ports on the Slate 7?

Connect the 2.5G WAN port for high-speed internet access, ensuring optimal performance. Use the 2.5G LAN port for low-latency devices like a NAS or gaming console, providing quick data transfers. It also supports LAN bridging and load balancing.
