GL.iNet GL-AX1800 wireless router Wi-Fi 6 1.8 Gbps 120 devices

AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Router

The GL.iNet GL-AX1800 is a dual-band wireless router built on Wi-Fi 6 technology, delivering a combined throughput of up to 1.8 Gbps across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. It supports up to 120 connected devices and provides five Gigabit Ethernet ports for wired clients. Integrated WireGuard and OpenVPN clients reach speeds up to 500 Mbps, while AdGuard Home filtering blocks ads and trackers at the network level.

Sustained Multi-Device Throughput

OFDMA channel allocation lets the router serve multiple clients simultaneously rather than queuing them, keeping aggregate throughput stable when many devices are active. The 5 GHz radio runs at up to 1200 Mbps and the 2.4 GHz radio at up to 600 Mbps, so combined bandwidth remains consistent during prolonged streaming, gaming or video calls. VPN tunnels maintain up to 500 Mbps WireGuard throughput under continuous load, avoiding the collapse seen in burst-only designs.

Thermals Noise and Power

Passive cooling keeps the unit silent during normal operation, with no fan noise added to the environment. Power draw stays modest because the hardware is sized for the rated 1.8 Gbps Wi-Fi 6 throughput and five Gigabit ports without overhead for unused features. The compact enclosure dissipates heat across its surface, so temperatures remain stable during extended uptime with dozens of associated devices.
