I have a couple GL-X3000s out there and they are incredibly stable. Have one at a site that I haven't touched in like 6 months. Also have one in my motorhome that goes between starlink, home wifi and T-Mobile cellular. Great all-in-one device for an RV.

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.

I have only tried the Slate 7 (& spitz AX). I like it a lot and don’t regret my purchase; however, I do not use the touch screen at all. It does serve as a nice desk clock when I’m at hotels, but other than that the simple façade of the Beryl does seem more my style.

I use another GLi model (x3000 Spitz) mounted in my truck as well on a google fi sim card. On the roof i have a Fusion2Go Max low profile shark fin to maximize stealth. That Fusion2Go also amplifies cell signal for my phone in what would otherwise basically be a faraday cage box truck, and is hardwired into my router. I also have a flat mount starlink. It allows me the best of both worlds- max coverage from starlink that I can keep paused until necessary in the middle of nowhere, and cheap fast internet otherwise that still works when it’s too cloudy for starlink. Redundancy is important. I have the starlink on repeater extension on the gli, which is on failover for seamless network switching when one or the other is down.

Mesh is overkill. Get a WiFi 7 router and put it in the top floor and you’ll be good. Unless you really need max speed to literally every device on the 5ghz band. I have a GL.iNet WiFi 6 router with lathe and plaster on the top floor (did wall fish cat6 to the basement) and it broadcasts pretty well across the 6500 sq foot lot. To the security cameras and the garage as well. The Apple TV in the basement streams fine and the RSSI is lower in some spots of the house but it works. Edit: 100mbps is plenty bandwidth. Look into RSSI (signal strength) and make sure that number is consistent.

I set up a wire guard VPN on my gli.net router in under 5 minutes and it works great
