Our verdict
A pocket-sized Wi-Fi 6 router with a 2.5G WAN port, OpenWrt underneath and built-in WireGuard and OpenVPN clients, for about GBP 89. It is the easy way to get a VPN router without flashing anything, and it travels well. It is not a whole-home Wi-Fi box: expect flat-sized coverage and no mesh.
What can Home Assistant control on the GL.iNet GL-MT3000 Beryl AX?
No core Home Assistant integration. The community HACS project vithurshanselvarajah/ha-glinet-router polls the router local /rpc endpoint for per-client device tracking and works with Beryl, Slate, Mango and Flint routers per its README; I did not verify the MT3000 specifically.

- The GL.iNet GL-MT3000 Beryl AX uses Wi-Fi. To pair it with Home Assistant you need no hub — it joins your Wi-Fi network directly. GL.iNet's own hub is not required when you integrate through a community integration installed through HACS (glinet).
