GL.iNet 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 really like the GL.iNet MUDI (GL-E750V2). It’s like a Swiss Army knife for Wi-Fi—OpenWrt, VPN support, a chunky battery, and it even doubles as a power bank. Basically, it’s the tech-savvy travel companion I never knew I needed.That said, sometimes it just decides it doesn’t want to connect to hotel Wi-Fi—like it's protesting the quality of the complimentary breakfast. A little fiddling usually gets it back on track, but expect the occasional “why won’t you just work” moment.Battery life is great, and using it as a backup power brick is a nice bonus. It’s not perfect, but it’s powerful, versatile, and has earned a permanent spot in my travel bag.9.5/10 — would recommend to fellow road warriors and Wi-Fi control freaks.

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.

Absolutely awesome for the price offered. So far has done everything it claims to be able to do. Few things different than other GLinet options as far as luci advanced menu - wish it had similar luci options to the Opal model but each model has its own quirks and modifications specifically for the model/software/hardware functionality. All in all it seems good 4.5 star. It is slower to connect to cellular and bootup is also a little slow, after boot from Off it has a standby mode that allows battery to be saved when not in use without the boot up wait again.

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.

Es muy buen wifi solo q me llama la atencion que se calienta mucho y la bateria solo da para 1 dia

At first, I was a little overwhelmed trying to get this travel router to repeat WiFi from my phone while on a cruise. I had to wait until we had real service to look up some tutorials, but once I got it working, it performed flawlessly! The connection was stable, and it made staying connected so much easier. I also love that it looks like a portable charger, so it doesn’t get flagged on the ship. I put some stickers over the logos to keep it undercover and even named the WiFi after our ship so it blended in. Definitely a must-have for travelers who need reliable internet access!
