Mine is as well, got a couple of Mikrotik Chateau to compare to this
I just signed up for the beta test.
I don't need the latest and greatest, but I want something that I can quickly put into use if my main internet goes down, but that will cover a good part of my home. I have the Mudi , and have used it a time or two, but it just won't cover even half of my home. If I do get it into a good spot so the home coverage is okay, the data becomes very slow.
I've only got one mobile network to test with, so maybe there's a chance that if I switch to another one data would be faster, but this router is really meant for travel, so I look forward to getting it and seeing how it can cover my home. Beta test or not.

Thank you for your message. Tailscale will be added in the next version. As for Control D DNS, we will consider it and evaluate its feasibility.

I'm looking for a 5g WAN device BUT having no voice/call/text is a HUGE deal breaker for me. I hate Fritz!Box 5g routers but, if you GL-iNet guys show me signs that you will implement this in future then i can still go for GL-X3000 or other future GL devices,..
Hi lama. Thank you for your interest. We don't have a plan to launch voice for the time being.
Why do you need voice on a router? The GL-iNet routers work fine with wifi calling, and they even have texting capabilities but for the life of me I don't understand why you would need voice on the router itself. Apparently, it isn't something that any manufacturer thinks is needed either on a router or am I wrong?
Im guessing becuause they need a landline to use for landline for a business or home security system. Personally didnt even know something like the fritzbox 5G existed with this option. Very cool.
I get it now.
No offense, but you are wrong.
AVM, as one of the biggest vendor for routers in Germany, do provide DECT in nearly all Fritz!Box products and in some Repeaters.
See: FRITZ!Box
I am using Fritz! products since the ISDN time, around 2000. AVM is the standard router for most ISP, even Telekom provides often a modified version, named Speedport (there are other Speedports, as well).
So for the German (maybe DACH) area it is pretty normal to have DECT build in the router.
But to be clear: I am not a fan of this setup! DECT should be a own base with it's own issues.
Even if I build my home network on 3 Fritz!Box, 2 Repeater and 3 Fritz!Fon (DECT mobile).
I want to change the whole setup to GL.iNet. it is harder as I thought, to change a 24 year grown network.
I hate it when people ask "why do want to use it" common guys, that's not nice to assume and make it look like useless.
I'm geographically in a place where mobile SIM card providers give better voice package offers. If I'm getting unlimited 5G data part of a package which also has unlimited national and international voice and SMS then,.. It's stupid Not to use it.
the land-lines charge more for calls made to mobile. In my case,.. I've staff of 15 who are always hesitant to call (because they don't want to lose their precious free minutes).

Why not?
For example, the ZTE mf286d has voice rj11 ports that directly integrate with the Qualcomm Modem bypassing the device for making and receiving calls.
Wire in a dect unit and you've covered WiFi and internet and calls for an relative from home.

RJ11 port
- Query CA Coverage: AT+QCAINFO
Note: The appearance of each line containing "+QCAINFO" corresponds to the number of Carrier Aggregation (CA). - Query for signal strength: AT+QRSRQ
Example:
+QRSRQ: -11, -14, -32768, -32768, LTE - Query for cell information: AT+QENG="servingcell"
Example:
+QENG: "servingcell", "NOCONN", "LTE", "TDD", 460, 00, BAE95C2, 64, 40936, 41, 5, 5, 247E, -115, -15, -78, 7, 190, -
This looks like it will be a nice product.
... Spitz Plus having a DC Plug is IMO a good decision (keeping the main use case RV in mind) with the extended Voltage rate of 9V-37V in mind.
Source:
Others may have an even more extended Voltage range (a voltage range up to 56V would even make more sense for passive PoE or TelCo & domestic energy applications ).
It would make sense if GL.iNet would also bundle a USB-C PD --> DC 5521 12V /15V adapter so every user could also decide to use USB-C PD cable.
You may get them starting <1 $US eg. here or at any other outlet. And make sure your USB-C Power Supply is supporting the voltage needed
It would also make a lot of sense to such put an adapter into the retail box -
If you would like to use it also for Starlink Mini get the 5521 15V version as the current Starlink Mini dish would boot with 12V.
if you are looking for a little but powerful Powerbank - check out the INIU P63-E1 25000mAh as it even would fit into on one side the standard GL.iNet Travel Pouch.
It may be powerful enough to drive the GL-X2000 for an estimated 8hr

Thank you for share this kind of information.........
No issues running from a 12v power bank. Usage looks to be around 500 mAh.
