  1. Got a notification about the "2nd Batch Pre-order" Mudi 7 router shipment (Germany). I'll probably get it delivered to Tbilisi in about 2 weeks.

  2. @blindcoder Just looked up the #DNS ad blocking landscape last night.

    Seems like #PiHole is slowly coming out of fashion and more seen as the "simple beginner's tool". #AdGuard is what most people seem to use nowadays. (That's also what's integrated into #GLiNet routers!) And the real geeks apparently use #Technitium (.NET!).

    Some pay for #NextDNS.io as they don't want to host "such essential service" themselves. Also, you can use it from everywhere without the need for VPN tunnels or open ports into your home for DoH/DoT.

    And #Blocky got honorary mentions from some masochists.

  3. I’ve been looking for a project router for our travels, so we can ditch #WiFi provided by hosts and bring our own.

    I was hoping #UniFi #TravelRouter would be THE THING, but it’s missing one key feature I’d give my money for - optional simcard slot…

    #GliNet still looks far more compelling, because it’s more open and you can just make 5G modem work with it…

    Bought a new router (GLi Net Flint 2) which broke my headless Pi SSH connection. Took me a while to realise the Pi doesn't support WPA3. Still working on it... Last night I had to work on the TV as the new router also broke the wifi remote control (IR receiver is broken) connection... Found out that using a keyboard with an Android TV is very unintuitive (it's a Sony Bravia).

    Ah... networking. Every time I learn a little bit more!

  18. Dear fedi, I’m thinking on replacing some #networking hardware at my place. I need an #AccessPoint and another piece working as a #WiFi6 client for 2 PCs and a SteamLink, no need for mesh.

    Considering
    • GL.iNet Flint 2 for the AP,
    #Mikrotik hAP ax² for the client.

    Does this look OK? Other options worth considering? I like that #GLiNet uses #OpenWRT.

  21. Received today my new toy 🤩
    A nice GL.iNet Flint 2 (GL-MT6000)

    I haven't decided yet whether I'll stay with the stock/stable firmware from GL.iNet (based on OpenWrt 21.02-SNAPSHOT :v), Or switch to the one based on OpenWrt 24... Or go to the Vanilla OpenWrt firmware.
    (I'm open to suggestions)

    But so far... WiFi is at least 10x faster with a quick test compared to my ISP box :o

    Time to do some proper testing... And then plug internet directly to it :D

  22. Beryl 7 (dual-band WiFi 7 travel router) is also now available, which claims ~1Gbps Wireguard and OpenVPN performance, with a MediaTek CPU:

    gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt3600

    while it looks like Beryl 7 will launch with firmware based on a proprietary SDK based on OpenWrt 21.02, the fact that it's a MediaTek CPU and based on prior history with #GLiNet, the case is promising for future support for a version of GLi's firmware based on recent OpenWrt, and eventual mainline #OpenWrt support.

    for what it's worth, WiFi 7 support on OpenWrt isn't exactly fully baked yet with other hardware either.

    I'm very interested in this one, as I use Beryl AX freqeuently while traveling and it works well. I just wish Beryl 7 was tri-band... and available in other colors.

  23. GL.iNet Mudi 7 specs are out and it's now available for pre-order ($319, down from a $399 price target for general release), to ship in April.

    gl-inet.com/products/gl-e5800/

    noteworthy details:

    * 5G and 4G, 6x internal and optional 2x external antennas
    * dual SIM support
    * tri-band WiFi 7, 1x 2.5GbE port
    * 600Mbps Wireguard and 700Mbps OpenVPN
    * USB type-C tethering and OTG
    * quad-core Qualcomm CPU
    * 2GB RAM and 8GB eMMC
    * up to 13.5h battery life and USB-PD fast charge

    given that it's a Qualcomm CPU I would not expect mainline OpenWrt support any time real soon, but it will be running GL.iNet's build of OpenWrt + their software, and should have access to most packages available on vanilla OpenWrt.

    based on my experiences with #GLiNet I would wait for the firmware to stabilize before buying this, with the expectation that increasing competition in the travel router space will push that $399 price target down over time.

  28. Начинаю новые эксперименты на OpenWRT 24.10.5
    Теперь в приоритете балансировка.
    mwan3, чтобы роутил трафик через Ethernet + USB-modem + WiFi tethering, как минимум просто с переключением, но лучше бы по geo-asset по разным приоритетам.
    Ну то-есть по-правде мне нужна не настоящая балансировка, с сопутствующими траблами, а всё-таки попроще, роутинг.

    Всякие обходы и подкопы пока вешать не буду, потом.

  29. scuttlebutt on the #GLiNet Mudi 7 tri-band 5G travel router is that they are trying to launch it by the end of first quarter and it may launch at a price of about $370

    that's too expensive for me, but their firmwares tend to be rough at first release, so I'm comfortable waiting a while before worrying about upgrading my old Spitz v2 ... I don't use these cellular devices a lot (though Mudi 7 having a battery could change that) but when I need them, I really need them, so it's that kind of a thing.

    some more info:

    Weight 300g
    Dimensions 157 x 75 x 22.8 mm
    claimed 8 hour battery life
    4x4 5G downlink MIMO
    500Mbps Wireguard
    2x optional external 5G antenna

  30. it's frustrating being so cash-poor but it is what it is, at this point I'm hardware-rich in the server department... I have plenty of capacity for Proxmox and thus I'm looking to bolster my personal computing capacity ... I finally just got a replacement battery and a keyboard for my Thinkpad, and when I do get a NanoPi M6 that'll become the ultimate fallback if the laptop breaks or is stolen, etc.

    my other planned tech purchases for 2026 are a #GLiNet Mudi 7 (after it's released) mobile 5G hotspot and an Android phone which actually talks to US cell carriers, unlike my current 5yo Poco F1 which became a wifi-only device when the 3G networks were shut down here.

  31. Kann noch wer drei Gl-inet Router und einen TP-Link MR 3020 gebrauchen? Ein Gl-inet ist noch mit einer stärkeren, externen Antenne versehen. Da liefen mal LibraryBox und/oder PirateBox drauf. Ein passendes Netzteil lege ich noch dazu. Ich weiß nicht, ob bzw. was ich noch verlangen soll dafür... 🙈 #FediFlohmarkt #glinet

  32. @geerlingguy the ghetto refurb hp may be overkill and over the hill but more fun to make your own than buy? this probably uses much less power. i think smb mkt will go past 10g and just go to 100g, skip 25/40/56

    the dev side of this story is good,

    the rasp pi will someday replace a 1 million dollar server - i like the solemn silence edit on that one

    smb will go for the mikrotik 100g switch - i think that will be mkt leader in just a couple years

  37. When I travel, I always bring my #GLinet GL-AXT1800 travel router. It's got that extra juice required to do wifi-to-wifi bridging or repeating if you will, but adding a transparent layer of VPN, in my case #Wireguard. All this shenanigans means we got uncomplicated and safe #wifi for the family, and regardless of the hotspot we're using, the Google TV dongle is always on the same network, and various geo-dependent services are fooled into thinking we're at home. And #Jellyfin also works perfectly. Right now I'm revisiting #BetterThings while the rest of the family sleeps. It's all good.

    I get no kickbacks - it's just a really nice #travel #router: gl-inet.com/products/gl-axt180

  38. @TheDragon I'm starting to think I might get a #GLiNet Mudi v2 and not wait for Mudi 7, but I'M not sure ... I'd Much rather get their SIMPoYo 4G dongle but there's no USA version.

    it's a tough call, I need soMething More portable than My Spitz v2, but the existing Mudi has a slow CPU, Wireguard thruput only 40Mbps

  39. So I'm tinkering with the #AdGuard Home that comes built into my #GLiNet home router and it's actually pretty powerful. In "some" ways it's more powerful than the #PiHole setup I had been using, though the grouping of devices (for example, to block a domain for all my daughter's devices) is a little more finicky. Essentially I just add all her device's IP addresses to a single "client" entry, and then apply rules to that "client".

    One reason I'm doing this is, in combination with the
