The Slate 7 (GL-MT3600) and the Beryl AX (GL-MT3000) can connect to the internet using any existing Wi-Fi network — a home/office router, a 4G/5G portable hotspot, or even your phone’s personal hotspot. You’ll do this through the Repeater (STA) function.
Once you've done this, any device that connects to your Slate 7s main or guest network will have internet access.
