Which is better overall, if your going to use the 2.5Gig lan port which most people are not, the GL.Net is better, from a hardware perspective but at almost double the cost of this.
The GL.Net also has built in VPN support, which the TP-Link (shows it might have a version of OpenVPN but not full featured from another comment, later found Dongs reviews which shows full featured so it indeed does have a full featured VPN client/server option).
So in short, hardware almost identical, except for the GL having the 2.5Gbps port. Software, GL has built in VPN, TP-Link needs you to have it installed on the client device. So people have to decide if those two differences are worth the extra $40-50.
I watched a youtube video reviewing this router and the the guy doing the review offered this promo code on his website. The video is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReeQpzQ

I was looking for a router that can handle captive portal screen that hotel wifi has...this looks like it does.

The GL.Net also has built in VPN support, which the TP-Link does not have, which mean you need to have a client side VPN running, which most people for work do.

Is Gl-inet the only travel router brand that has VPN support, or do some others?
I wonder if they saw on how well GL.iNet was doing and just created a product to compete. I also saw an Asus variant posted a few days ago.

As for any other brand that has it, Asus has OpenVPN support no wireguard last I checked but its been awhile.

No, it was actually Netgear and Eero, who started the subscription service for additional feature trend, but yes TP-Link jumped along for the ride about 1.5 years later. Asus is the only brand that has not embraced that trend.

That's a neat feature that would be invaluable if you're at a hotel that wants you to login every 2-6 hours, especially if you have multiple devices!
Also, FYI to Amazon card holders: This device is listed as having an additional 15% cash back, so along with the 5% (or 6% if you use a Amazon Delivery Day), you get a total of 20% (or 21%) cash back!
Both of these considered, I think it's much more of a bargain than the GL.inet GL-E750 mentioned in one comment here.
