GL-USB150 - Any more available?

I saw the GL-USB150 available on Amazon.com a few weeks ago, and bought four. But they're no longer listed, and I was hoping to buy 10 more to use with OpenWrt.

Does anyone know of any sellers in the USA or Europe who has any in stock? Or if the Gl.iNet people here are listening, can I buy 10 from any leftover stock you have?

Thank you!!!

That model is discontinued EOL with support that has also ended

That's not to say there is no stock around but just informing you as to why it's hard to find.

Thanks, I should have clarified - I know these are discontinued (and why I want to use them for OpenWrt), but they were discontinued for a long time, then suddenly available on Amazon from GL Technologies directly, and now no longer there.

A staffer mentioned they were selling them on amazon by mistake and had since pulled them and tried to have amazon recall the item.
I personally grabbed 5 for myself a few months ago after keeping look out for a couple years trying to snag one.
A GL.iNet mod mentioned that we would be seeing a bonus security update due to them accidently selling a product with known security exploits. Well see if they are honest about it and give us 3.218 as promised.

Thanks! I remember that thread but couldn’t find it.

If you’re willing to sell any of yours I’m happy to buy :slightly_smiling_face:

Out of curiosity, what are you using this many for? I need to know what I'm missing out on :slight_smile:

According to this page, the ones you just bought should have a 2 year warranty, which makes it even a better deal.

I would love to see another product in this form factor.

Various IoT & mesh networking projects.

10 more would future proof me for a few years in case any die or I misplace one or two.

GL.iNet download center 3.218 is here.

Nice to see the new USB150 firmware released so quickly, but before I load it, it would be great to find out what changed. The release notes state:

Release Notes

To be filled in soon

Thanks! I was realllyyyy wishing for a new stock drop with this release, but wishful thinking. I'm still on the hunt for ~10 more if anyone knows of somewhere they are in stock!

I have some from return. If you need I can test these batch.

Could you please write an email to support@gl-inet.com? We will create an order for you, I checked we have 14 units that can sell

Hello Lastimosa, this is GL.iNet's Customer Service, we will create a manual order for 14pcs of USB150 units. Could you please provide your email address to us? We will contact you to assist you in completing your purchase.

Thanks @yoyo . Sent you a message.

Hi I have been talking with @alzhao via private message that he was testing these refurbished units for me. He asked me to place an order, the price was listed $29.99. The system would not accept my Switzerland or USA mailing addresses. I tried from a different computer and it is now listed at $43!

This is not very professional at all... :-/ I understand that alzhao was going out of the way to do this, which is appreciated, but the price increasing last minute is very frustrating. I'm not a company and these are for personal non-profit hobby projects of a GL.iNet fan who has recommended Gl.iNet (and bought as gifts) for many, many people.

Wow, Amazon sold new ones for $22.90 in May.

I vote for GL-USB150v2. It should be rebooted
