Hello,
I have a Spitz GL-X3000. I would like to add some VLAN:s and manage the firewall and wireguard client by myself using UCI/LUCI without using the stock GL-iNet GUI. Is that possible or would the stock GUI web app interfere with what I’m trying to do in some way? If it’s possible do you think firmware updates would also work or might there be problems?
Hi
If you’re comfortable working with UCI/LuCI, tasks such as configuring VLANs, firewall rules, or WireGuard clients should not pose any issues.
The GL.iNet web interface should be compatible with these features.
Firmware upgrades generally preserve the configurations.
However, third-party plugins are removed during the upgrade process and must be reinstalled afterward.
In most cases, their configuration files remain intact, so additional setup is usually unnecessary.
That said, when new features are introduced (for example, VLAN), some related settings may be adjusted automatically.
If you don't need the GL-iNet GUI and wish to configure the router entirely via UCI/Luci, we recommend considering native OpenWRT, which is now available for the X3000.
Please note, however, that support for native OpenWRT falls outside our scope.
Thank you for the reply.
So the native OpenWRT should support all chipsets then? Thought there might be problems with the 5G modem for some reason (proprietary drivers). If not that would be the best even, then I could get the latest version of OpenWRT.
I’ll try it out, if I read correctly it’s easy to flash with the GL-iNet firmware again if I change my mind.
I'm not entirely sure what 'all chipsets' refers to.
If it refers to the GL-X3000's Wi-Fi chip or 5G cellular module, I believe native OpenWRT should already provide support.
The 5G cellular module can operate using publicly available protocols like QMI/MBIM.
Thanks, yes that’s what I meant by “all chipsets”, the cellular module on the Spitz.
