Order placed! Looking forward to reviewing the unit. Any specifics around firewall ports required for the LAN connection? Would it work over https or does it require any others?

Can connect via https and work

I had several gl-net products, they worked well.

This product should also work well, but, I think the price is a bit too high.

I am not in need of the VPN capable gl-net products anymore since the gear I have implemented client VPN since a while ago and it works well.

Judging from the prices for other products, the price for the comet is reasonable.

@SandyHla Any update on when the pre-orders might start to be shipped? Thank you.

we delivered the first batch to our oversea warehouses already, we are expecting them to arrive there in a couple of weeks; hopefully you can receive them before end of the month, if we're lucky at the custom

On the way.

Still nothing here in the UK, and it's nearly May....!

I'm curious why h264 is used instead of h265. RV1126 datasheet show H/W encoder for both 264 and 265.

UK here, received today. Currently playing with it, will come back with impressions after some usage. Updated to latest firmware 1.1.1 release 1.

Yep, just received mine today here at the UK as well. Just tried it and a bit glitchy even on a local connection but will keep on tweaking and see how it goes.

Just received mine today in UK. Currently, the app seems to be only available for windows and macOS. Will there be a android app or an iOS app and an ipad OS app to access the machines remotely from anywhere using any device? Accessing my servers using my ipad anywhere is one of my main usecases for Comet KVM.

i really hope they will add h265 support at some point.

Not shure i have post my question hire. [Feature Request]: High-End Router Models with BPI-R4 Hardware, 2GB+ RAM, and Advanced OpenWRT Support

Dear GL.iNet Team and Community,

I would like to propose a new feature request aimed at significantly enhancing the user experience for advanced users, home lab enthusiasts, and heavy AdGuard users.

Request Details:

1. Hardware Support & Future Models:
Develop high-performance router models based on the Banana Pi BPI-R4 or similar powerful hardware platforms, featuring:

  • 2GB or more RAM (preferably DDR4 or eMMC storage) to support heavy AdGuard filtering, multiple VPN tunnels, and complex network configurations without performance issues.
  • Multiple 10G SFP+ ports, M.2, PCIe interfaces, PoE, and other expandability options for advanced networking setups.

2. Firmware & Software:

  • Full support for OpenWRT with easy-to-use, intuitive interfaces akin to GL.iNet’s current design.
  • Enable seamless customization, scripting, and third-party package installation.
  • Support for AdGuard Home integration as a standard feature, allowing users to block ads and trackers at the network level efficiently.

3. User Experience & Features:

  • Simplified setup for complex configurations, VLAN management, and advanced routing.
  • Pre-installed or easily installable VPN options, including WireGuard and OpenVPN.
  • Robust security features, automatic updates, and intrusion detection.

4. Community & Support:

  • Provide detailed documentation and community support for users building custom lab environments or deploying these devices in enterprise scenarios.

Why is this important?
While GL.iNet offers excellent compact routers for everyday use, advanced users and network enthusiasts often require more powerful hardware, extensive RAM, and flexible firmware options to fully utilize tools like AdGuard, complex VPN setups, and network segmentation. Supporting these features would open new markets and foster a vibrant community of power users.

In summary:

  • Support for 2GB+ RAM hardware platforms (like BPI-R4).
  • Enhanced OpenWRT firmware with user-friendly interface.
  • Built-in or easily integratable AdGuard Home.
  • High-performance, expandable hardware features.

Thank you for considering this feature request. I believe that integrating these capabilities will greatly improve the user experience and expand GL.iNet’s

In fact, Comet can fully support H265, but currently browsers have poor compatibility with H265, so we have not yet opened it
