GL.iNet Beryl AX (GL-MT3000) vs UniFi Express 7

The GL.iNet Beryl AX (GL-MT3000) and the UniFi Express 7 are small routers designed to be versatile, but ultimately for different purposes. The GL.iNet is marketed as a travel router and runs OpenWRT, an open-source firmware that's extremely configurable. The UniFi, on the other hand, runs UniFi's 'Network' application, software that's also highly configurable but designed to be used within UniFi's ecosystem of products. Performance-wise, the UniFi has the GL.iNet beat. It's a tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router that delivers faster speeds than the GL.iNet, but its 5GHz band is slower once you're very far away.
