@squad_31, we are running out of the 5G module. Trying to get it back to stock. Anyway, we are redesigning AR300MD to a new product.

Nice idea for the lite version. Why not with external antennae?

>>> Nice idea for the lite version. Why not with external antennae?

The word “Lite” should have been a giveaway.

alzhao · 2017-07-31T09:50:48.000Z

Lite, means something (either hardware or software) has been removed.

Hi Alfie,

MT300N’s firmware works for MT300N-V2 also?

alzhao · 2017-07-31T18:26:55.000Z

@Venkata NO NO NO. Don’t try.

@alzhao I have a question about MT300-V2:
Since a while I use a mini router AR150 which is connected by cable to the internet at 100Mbit/sec and I can get (without vpn or any encryption) a maximum WiFi speed of 50Mbit/sec with radio mode 11n(150M)
Will it be an improvement in WiFi speed if I switch to a new MT300N-V2 using radio mode 11n(300M) ?

alzhao · 2017-08-03T13:51:34.000Z

Tested using iphone, MT300N-V2 should have a much better wifi performance than AR150.

mikechk · 2017-08-04T10:02:19.000Z

@alzhao any idea of timeline for the AR300MD redesigned product you mentioned?
Curious what kind of product you guys are thinking it will be?

rozwellk · 2017-08-04T12:51:59.000Z

I too would be interested in the redesigned AR300MD, you seem to have sold them before I could snag one. Do you have a notify list for new products? RozWellK@gmail.com

luisblop · 2017-08-18T18:52:47.000Z

Definitely I’ll try the new mango if it has better wifi than AR150

luisblop · 2017-08-18T18:54:02.000Z

@alzhao The new mango is sold out in Amazon across Europe

Please keep us informed when you are sending more stock of the MT300N-V2 to Amazon Europe

wabawaba · 2017-08-31T19:54:07.000Z

with relase of the MT300N-V2 will you guys still be supporting V1 with Firmware updates?

alzhao · 2017-09-01T12:42:20.000Z

@WabaWaba, yes. We will support for some time, generally for 1 year after we discontinue the product officially.

alpinejoe · 2017-09-04T02:43:56.000Z

V2 has bugs. I’m returning it as the non V2 I just got doesn’t have these issues:

-not autoconnecting to another AP when the current one goes away

in advanced-wireless, Luci works fine, I can see the connection and edit settings
summary screen and setup screen shows connection being made. The -V2 would just sit there, I had to go back and forth between menus to get the WAN connection info.

benr · 2017-09-08T08:20:40.000Z

I have a GL-MIFI that I just updated to 2.261. Now the devices does not turn off when pressing the power button, even if I hold it down for an extended period of time.

alzhao · 2017-09-12T17:24:48.000Z

Repeater manager has been improved for MT300N-V2, please check: 404 Page not found - GL.iNet

@Ben, contact cs@gl-inet.com

georgos · 2017-09-20T15:34:19.000Z

I am waiting for the lite version with two antennae. Strong signal is always a plus.

doki · 2017-10-11T16:04:36.000Z

is there a propose date to release the next firmware? I’m quite excited to used the shadowsocks UI.

squad_31 · 2017-10-17T22:41:22.000Z
