It is very unlikely that Spitz Plus will ever get a major OpenWrt upgrade.
The reason why X750 router’s updades are good is because the hardware is tied with a Mudi, an old version of it. Mudi is very popular with people that have less technical knowledge, this is one of the reasons why the updates for the Mudi are usually better than average.
If you need a different version of OpenWrt, then you should be looking at Spitz AX, Puli AX or Mudi 5G.
Mudi 5G will be released soon and it will have a promotional price at the release time.
You can find Puli AX and Spitz AX at a better price on eBay. You may set a notification when one will be sold on ebay platform.
I need something that’s great in rural areas. I live in a big forrest and my only shot at having a connection is a single 4G LTE mast in the area. The GL-X2000 seems perfect for this.
Only thing that makes me a little concerned with the lack of OpenWrt updates, it that down the line, it could create issues if I choose to use any services provided. Will Tailscale and Adguard still function adequaltly in 5 years on the old versions? Things like that.
Not gonna lie but any kind of SOHO device and have an expectation that you are gonna get 5 years of support is just gonna have you ended up disappointed. (sucks but that is just the nature of the beasts when it comes with SOHO devices)
The whole end of like kernel/support has been discussed a few times over the year or so
@sullyjman You are replying to a user with a relatively new product (2025 release) that happens to use a rather old base image of openwrt. I don’t think I would expect even a SOHO device to fall into the old category in less than a year of release.
I agree 100% that having a device that was just released less than a year ago having an old EOL version of openwrt is unacceptable.
Sadly that is the game you play with investing money into certain hardware models with this company (that is why I posted the links above)
My advice to OP is to take this as a lesson learn and look for other options if they arent happy with the response they are getting from the company regarding EOL operating systems (because this isnt the first, second, or third router model they have impacted by an EOL operating system)
Still waiting to see what mudi7 will be running
I stand by my 5 year comment when it comes to SOHO products
