Cost-effective pocket router
Opal is designed as an affordable and compact travel router for small businesses, apartments, and frequent travelers who need stable dual-band Wi-Fi with built-in VPN support and simple deployment.
Your security is our priority
Opal helps reduce risk on public networks by routing all client traffic through router-level security features, including VPN tunnels and encrypted DNS options.
The perfect Wi-Fi for small apartments
Minimal footprint and quiet white design make Opal easy to place in dorms, studios, and small apartments. It balances low cost with practical gigabit switching and privacy features.
Stay secure on public Wi-Fi anywhere
Use Opal as a repeater on hotel, airport, and cafe Wi-Fi, then create your own private network. This isolates personal devices from open hotspots and centralizes security policy in one place.
Holistic security for family and friends
Create a personal network and share internet with family or colleagues while keeping visibility and control over upstream connections, DNS behavior, and VPN policies.
No more hackers, access network securely
Opal includes OpenVPN and WireGuard support for private tunnels, remote site access, and secure traffic handling via AFI WIRELESS Web UI workflows.
Runs on OpenWrt 18.06
Opal uses customized OpenWrt 18.06 firmware with a user-friendly setup flow and plugin extensibility for advanced routing, automation, and service integration.
DNS encryption with Cloudflare
Cloudflare DNS over TLS support helps prevent DNS eavesdropping and tampering, reducing exposure to man-in-the-middle interception on untrusted networks.
