GL-E750V2 (MUDI) 4G LTE Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot for Travel | Mobile Hotspot Device, OpenWrt, OpenVPN, WireGuard, 7000mAh, Global Version

Works great with Verizon. Great for those who are on the road a lot and can’t quite rely on hotel internet. Speeds are entirely dependent on the area. I bought this and used it first in the Scranton-Wilkes Barre PA area, and was seeing speeds from anywhere from 20-60 mbps. When I used it in the Benton harbor MI area, I was seeing a bit more (both had full bars of signal). Ping on this during games is SIGNIFICANTLY better than on hotel WiFi. You can also use this unit as a repeater. Gl.iNet sells a dedicated pocket router that acts as a repeater and WAN, that isn’t all that much cheaper than just getting this, so the value for money on this is pretty great. I use a generic network switch to get more ports and it works great. BE SURE TO WRITE DOWN THE IMEI OF THE ROUTER BEFORE YOU CHANGE IT IN CASS YOU NEED IT AGAIN. The “app” that this uses is very powerful, but could be confusing to those that are new to networking terms and protocols. WOULDN’T recommend to beginners, or those who can’t follow a guide. There’s a huge community on these, but they all speak assuming you already know the basics.

I absolutely LOVE this router. It's my go-to whenever I'm traveling. The size, features, and functionality are unmatched; hands down the best, most portable travel router for the cost. The battery life is great also.

I got this to have wifi over cell service in foreign countries but have not yet tested that out. I have used it here in USA to make sure it works and keep the firmware updated. The unit is very slow to initialize but once running seems speedy enough (for 4G). The inbuilt battery makes this a little heavy (approx 2 lbs) but the battery can be used to boost other devices in addition to powering the router. Run time on battery will vary, I don't have a number for that but have tested it for nearly an hour without trouble. It can be charged while in use. If your hotel room has a network jack you can use this unit to route through it. All routing can be done as a firewalling router - a feature I demand - and thus presents only a single device to your hosts network. Firmware updates occur frequently and I believe are based on DD-WRT code base, I see new patches every month. A nice feature is that it can link onto the host network utilizing a VPN tunnel so your traffic is not visible on the host network, and multiple devices can use the VPN transparently. It's a well thought out unit and seems well supported. I heartily recommend it if you have a need for a flexible travel router.

Amazing. Paired with Eliot club sim card works great or as repeater for phone tethering

I'm torn on this thing. I love the portability for travel and the ease of adding an esim card. Took this on a trip to Europe and used it at every location we stayed at. Setting up a hot spot was easy... however I feel like it's slow to load up/turn on and seems under powered. I have a few of the gli opal's that I used before and have reverted back to using them. TLDR: If you must have a sim card router, this was good. Otherwise I'd do with one of gl-inet's other travel routers.

On device storage is enough to run a few apps from their github repository. Pros: vpn toggle switch is a bonus + micro sd storage slot. Cons: small wifi radius; will get hot when left in backpack. Worth it.

I wanted to like this router. The fact that it runs OpenWRT and provide a lot of options were huge bonuses for me. It made it easy to, say, spoof an IMEI so I could get free cellular hotspot from my free cell line. The ability to mutl-WAN via wifi, ethernet, and cellular were also huge. The built-in VPN and Adguard support were a nice bonus. The big problem was that this modem only supports LTE. 5G support would have been nice. GL.iNet makes 5G routers but only for RV. They recently refreshed The Mudi but only for eSIM support. Why not throw a 5G modem in? The wifi on this thing is also quite poor. I get better wireless speed from my LTE-only iPhone XS max over hotspot with the same SIM card. Strangely, a lot of the times, the upload speed is higher than the download speed. This is true regardless of whether the Mudi is using cellular or even ethernet. The ethernet is another issue. I have gigabit internet. I don't expect Mudi to be pulling gigabit speed but like it's like 20mbps down at best over wifi. I get 200+ mbps with my old Airport Extreme on wireless AC. I have also found the wireless connection to be somewhat unstable from time to time too. Connecting to the Mudi via the app or even the browser can be hit or miss, sometime it just doesn't load. Overall, this could be a compelling package if GL.iNet improves on the WiFi performance and puts a better 5G-compatible chip (with mmWave support, please). Please also integrate an ethernet port into the router instead of having me to attach a dongle and please make it at least gigabit, 100mbps in this day and age is way outdated.

UPDATE 10/22: Saw this was on sale and decided to give it another go to see if it was improved at all, and also tried playing with some additional settings. In the end, it was still very slow. Maximum sustained speeds of around 1.3mbit with Wireguard turned on. There's a lot of variability in testing, but I made sure to test using the same Wireguard endpoint, with the same destination speed test server. I also tried modifying the TTL to 65, 64 and 128 from the admin panel and this didn't really make a difference. Same exact SIM card, when put into my tablet with 4G LTE would result in 200mbit down and 50mbit up. Not sure why this router is so slow. OLD REVIEW: Popped in a T-Mobile SIM card, and with literally line of sight to a T-Mobile tower less than 50ft away, got max speeds of around 10mbit. Popped the SIM card back into my tablet and got 200mbit on LTE. Didn't bother trying WireGuard or OpenVPN because those will be even slower when turned on and speeds will be highly be dependant on your particular VPN server and VPN service you choose. The display is very dark and you will struggle to read the display when outdoors. Indoors, the brightness is just adequate.

Veramente ottimo, funziona perfettamente con TIM. Unico punto, devi sapere cosa stai facendo e cosa stai comprando, non è plug and play.

Great product, very quick delivery A*

it’s pretty slow to start up, the proprietary adaptor for ethernet is annoying, even set up from an iphone hotspot can take a bit of work to get it going buy having the vpn and storage is pretty handy design wise it’s slippery as hell and will get scratched up a rubber base or rubber feet would really perfect an already great product 5 stars cos it’s better than the nighthawk m1 i replaced it with and isn’t obscenely expensive

Great, carefully thought of product. Only working LTE router with OpenVPN and Wireguard functionality. Even has a SD card so that I can put a 1TB Micro SD and make it a NAS on the go. I travel a lot and I need VPN to my office when I do. This is a excellent choice for me. I cannot wait until a compact travel 5G router to be available. Hopefully they will make one soon.

Quite complicated to set up!
