do you mean IMEI masquerade, where you swap the IMEI with another device you legally own so that you can use it on your chosen mobile operator in the countries where restrictions are in place
Changing an IMEI in the United Kingdom carries a 5 year prison sentence and a fine, so hopefully you do not mean permanently as otherwise the United Kingdom would ban GL-iNet from selling this device in this country and it would be confiscated by Border Control:
Are you suggesting that once changed, an IMEI can never again be changed to another IMEI or back to the original?
Or do you mean that an IMEI change is persistent … until the next change?
In my experience with most Quectel modules, IMEI changes are not permanent, they are persistent until the next change. Maybe there is a new “feature” I am unaware of - such as triggering an eFuse after first mutation.
100% want to know this as well, this a HUGE thing for many of us, and I imagine GL-iNet as well given they maintain their own fork. Can any GL-iNet employee help clarify this for this? Based on this video, it was stated that the Mudi 7 would NOT support OpenWRT and I find that hard to believe. I rely on the web interface for many things and this would be a real blow to an otherwise PERFECT device in the hardware category.
well, if it has LuCi that does necessarily imply it runs OpenWRT. thanks, Will. please nudge anyone you can to get it shipped faster for us, we're all very anxious
Phew! Thank you for clearing that up! I totally get that, the screen is for simple actions as I would expect it to be, as long as ew can access the full web interface and LuCI then everything is perfect once more! Can’t wait to get it once it is available!
TCL P50 has no dual SIM, no e-SIM, no TS-9 external antenna ports and weaker 5G capabilties than Mudi 7. (TCL P50 max 3.97Gbps, Mudi 7 max. 4.67 Gbps)
The marketing claim with “the industry's first 5G mmWave mobile Wi-Fi to integrate both fast charging and wireless charging capabilities, the P50..” is tied to the combination with wireless charging. This is almost funny.
Okay, if you need wireless charging, buy a TCL P50
