GL-X3000 (Spitz AX)

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...

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.

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.

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

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