Email: “a fellow customer has a question on GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 Opal”

How many devicesi have a small apartment can I use this in my home can connect?

The Opal is a competent mini-router that does mini-router things. OP has not clearly stated what they want to do, but if it’s mini-router things the Opal can do it.

Whether or not OP is capable of using the Opal is another matter. I am not optimistic.
