Is GL iNet working on an updated version of the Mudi?

krfslb · 2022-04-09T13:41:32.765Z

I tried it when it came out, but it felt too inconsistent for my purposes at the time.

Seeing GL-iNet is always developing better products, I was wondering if there are any plans to update the Mudi in the foreseeable future.

Thanks

To disclose the correct information: not yet.

Didn’t find appropriate chipset.

You guys need to release an updated 5G Mudi Router for North America (Canada). Every major carrier has strong 5G signals throughout both the US and Canada. I’ve been a long-time GL-iNET user, but the new Nighthawk M6 Pro that was just released today has support for Canadian 3G, 4G, and 5G bands at a reasonable price. I don’t know how much longer I can hold out before splurging to upgrade to the Nighthawk.

Can you please offer a timeline? A specific timeline, not “not yet.” I want to know how long I’d have to wait for a preferable model.

I love GL-iNET, but you guys are so slow to update your mobile hotspot hardware. And it’s extremely worrying you discontinued one of your mobile hotspot brands.

Thanks for the sharing.

Where can I find the price?

M5 is selling at $699 on Amazon.

How can M6 be 459?

Good question, but it looks like you have some competition. Their device is leagues above any personal hotspot device you currently sell. Time to kick up development?

What are your thoughts? Do you have a specific timeline for when a comparative GL-iNET device will be for sale? Do you even have any intention of upgrading your current personal hotspot lineup?

alzhao · 2022-04-27T10:45:39.538Z

Yes always have an eye on Nightawk.

I don’t have an update for you actually.

The M6 use a totally different hardware solution, similar to smartphones, which we don’t have.

mudi_crew_5G_horizon · 2022-04-27T10:49:56.028Z

So you have no intention of upgrading your current lineup of LTE devices anytime soon?

If so I’m going to place an order to replace my Mudi.

alzhao · 2022-04-27T10:56:44.148Z

We do want to upgrade our LTE device. But may not meet your schedule.

I’d glad that you can share your experience with M6.

mudi_crew_5G_horizon · 2022-04-27T11:02:14.954Z

If you can definitively say it’s release will be within the next 12 months I will wait. I would prefer to support an underdog like GL-iNET. I have had nothing but positive experiences with your brand so far.

Thanks but I cannot promise anything.

mudi_crew_5G_horizon · 2022-04-27T11:07:27.554Z

Understood. Thanks for conversing with me! You guys are doing amazing work. Don’t spread yourselves too thin.

Isaac630 · 2023-05-14T13:40:12.063Z

Its been over 12 months and still no news on a mudi 5g release

briar-spoon-celibate · 2023-11-22T20:24:06.829Z

@mudi_crew_5G_horizon
Can you share how it compares with Mudi? Apart from the faster 5G speed?

@alzhao
I am also waiting for a 5G Mudi… Seeing MudiV2 is also in 4G LTE breaks my heart

nktech1135 · 2023-11-22T20:55:04.908Z

GL has 5g modems now and they work well. search the store for the x3000 and xe3000
I’ve never owned the mudi though, but the x and xe routers so maybe i’m missing something here?

alzhao · 2023-11-23T06:01:46.254Z

Sorry I have no news about the 5G Mudi now. Understood that everyone is expecting 5G + WiFi6.

beepboopbeep · 2024-12-17T18:08:37.018Z

Hi there, love mudi v2 using on the train commuting to work, any updates on potentially making a 5G version? I understand heat would be an issue. I have a Spitz AX now, love it, but obviously its for another use case since its so large.
