Fancy new Mudi 7

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:

Let me help your misunderstanding. His question was crystal clear: Does it support IMEI change?

It is a simple yes or no question, not an invitation for philosophical, legal or moral diatribe.

I believe this point has been addressed in this thread and, as I understand, the answer is “yes”. IMEI mutability is supported.

No it does not, because IMEI change is permanent.

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.

this is how it is.

so, what's the price point, 450usd?

probably not quite that much, but certainly over $200. also we have to wait until March :face_with_bags_under_eyes:

Will it have Openwrt as well? I heard rumors that it won’t have Openwrt support… so for Tailscale configuration etc it might be a tricky one

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.

I believe the video primarily highlights that the built-in screen is not intended for complex interfaces like LuCI or other third-party plugins.

But you can still access the full GL.iNet Admin Panel and LuCI by connecting a device to the Mudi 7’s LAN or Wi-Fi network.

Tailscale will be supported too.

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 :wink:

A fair price would be $199. Therefore, the price will be $349.99999 :rofl:

In all seriousness, I just hope they get the firmware right - and without too much bloat - before releasing it.

Yay! Thanks.

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!

THX!

Cool - old MudiV2 is Dimension / Weight: 145 x 77.5 x 23.5 mm / 285 g

but mudi v2 can. Or misunderstood something?

No, we design and manufacture our own equipment—we have our own factory.

Hoping for 199$, too.
And an earlier release than march.

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 :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
