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. ## Frequently Bought Together - GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 (Opal) Secure Travel WiFi Router, AC1200 Dual Band Gigabit Ethernet Wireless Network, IPv6 USB 2.0, Repeater Bridge Access Point Mode, Router for Public Use, Easy Setup with Guide - GL.iNet Gadget Organizer Case for Travel Routers GL-AXT1800/ GL-MT3000/ GL-SFT1200/ GL-E750, Chargers, Cables, and Accessories, Sturdy & Durable Pouch, Hand-carry EVA bag, Anti-shock, Water Resistant - GL.iNet GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX) Portable Travel Router, Pocket-Sized Wi-Fi 6 Wireless Travel Gigabit Router, with OpenVPN & Wireguard for Public & Hotel Wi-Fi Use, Suitable for Cruise/RV/Airplane/Hotel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/404893631-opal-gl-sft1200-cost-effective-pocket-router](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/404893631-opal-gl-sft1200-cost-effective-pocket-router) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-31*
