## Description

【GL-SFT1200/Opal - Gigabit Internet for Security-savvy Travelers】Opal (GL-SFT1200) is a pocket-sized travel router supporting 1200Mbps wireless transfers speed. It is compactly designed for portable use, which can meet the needs of wireless internet access for small businesses, small apartments or business travelers.【30+ Commercial VPN Provider Compatibility】There are more than 30+ VPNs compatible with our pre-installed OpenVPN client. OpenVPN is a tried-and-true software and a common standard for security-minded VPN users. WireGuard is based on a concept called Cryptokey Routing. It’s a much faster security protocol than OpenVPN; WireGuard VPN can clock 65Mbps, compared to OpenVPN that can only hit 12Mbps.【Connects Multiple Workplaces Seamlessly】Opal Comes with a Pre-installed VPN server and client functions in WireGuard and OpenVPN. With Opal, you can bring all your workplaces together with a single, secure private cloud with OpenVPN or WireGuard. Don’t worry about changing your network when you change your workplace. You won’t need to reconfigure and reconnect all your devices as well; they’ll all connect automatically each time you fire up your Opal. In general, most of the Free Public Wi-Fi hotspots set a time limit for users, which will disconnect your devices once the time is over. To deal with this situation, please reconnect your router to the wifi.【Specification】CPU: SF19A28, Dual-Core @1GHzMemory / Storage: DDR3 128MB / SPI NAND Flash 128MBWi-Fi Speed: 2.4GHz(300Mbps), 5GHz(867Mbps)Ethernet Port: 3 x 10/100/1000MbpsAntennas: 2 x undetachable external Wi-Fi antennasPower Input: Type-C, 5V/3AWorking Temperature: 0 ~ 40°C (32 ~ 104°F)Storage Temperature: -20 ~ 70°C (-4 ~ 158°F)Dimension / Weight: 118 x 85 x 30mm, 145g

## Questions & Answers

**Q: With this device can I connect to a hotel wifi, and then rebroadcast the connection using my own wifi ssid?**
A: Yes, you could connect to hotel wifi and then share the internet with your own wifi ssid.

**Q: What are the major differences between openWRT and the version on this router?**
A: The OpenWRT of SFT1200 is 1806 and the code is not fully open source.
If you need a fully open-source travel router, please consider the GL-AR750S.

**Q: Do this router have openwrt installed on it?**
A: The OpenWrt version of SFT1200 is 1806 and it is NOT Fully open source.

**Q: Can the Opal be used as a wi-fi to wired ethernet bridge? I don't want to repeat any wi-fi signal, Only connect to an existing wi-fi via wired etherne**
A: There isn't an explicit mode for connecting as a wireless client bridge. A work-around to this may be to switch off both 2.4 and 5GHz wireless networks, while in the default router mode. This step should prevent other wireless devices from using the Opal as a repeater.  One that is done, you can change the operational mode from router to WDS (if your main router supports it) or extender mode otherwise. Full disclosure: this approach works for me on the Beryl model, so I think there is a better than even chance it will also work on Opal, but that is an untested assumption right now.
