GL.iNet - GL-X3000 (Spitz AX)

Gl-Inet x3000 amazing for our use case on the road/vanlife .. x2000 might be enough if you don’t fancy 5G ..

I mean, it is. It's just got closed source drivers which the main project can't ship with. But the Spitz AX started out similarly (namely it's qualcomm modem) and now has a functional stable build including that part, so...

You're right. Had to do it yesterday on my x3000 I just purchased. Not sure why you're getting down voted.

Gli.Net are great units

That's an exception for Germany though. I travel a lot. At home, which is more comparable to "average city levels" I get 30-40ms, 300-400mbps down and ~100mbps up. In anything that's not a city you'll see worse. I've tried multiple modems, including the Spitz.

Playing with my T-Mobile (Germany:Telekom) Simcard from my Unlimited phone plan in a Glinet Spitz AX and have 10-15ms ping… and download about 1.000 mbit/s, Upload 100 Mbit/s…. i think that is enough ;)

I did the same but [with one of their Spitz routers](https://mouse.mousetrap.net/blog/2025-09-25-2025-mobile-data-upgrade.html). The router is hidden in the overcab storage and the 4x4 4G/5GNR + 2x2 Wifi2.4/5GHz on the roof is about the size of a yogurt cup. I've tried all kinds of wifi routers, openwrt and openwrt forks and IMO the GL.iNET wifi repeating functionality/UI is *fantastic* for mobile vanfolk.

Hi, I hade similar problem, I used Mikrotik than Ubiquity Edge X, but half year ago I have found GLI.net It’s OpenWRT by default and it cost similar to TP-Link. It have WireGuard, Tailscale and AddGuard as native app ;)

Personally I'd just get something like the GL-X3000 as if takes 9-36v and does everything you need for home/portable multi link redundant connection use standard SMA antenna lines too so great for car deployments.

Exactly. Don't waste money on these shitty consumer routers. The only decent ones are from gl.inet that come with openwrt. If you need more, look into opnsense on something like qotom or other minipc, mikrotik, ubiquity and separate access points.
