Well, everything is properly set up and shared via GoodCloud, and the device appears to be working fine. It is currently connected through Starlink. Although it reports an “unstable network connection,” the connection itself has actually been very stable.
I have installed two SIM cards:
-
SIM1 = NOVA GR 5G
-
SIM2 = Vodafone GR 5G
However, I am not sure whether the indoor signal conditions can provide a stable 5G connection for the Mudi 7. My smartphone and other 5G modems usually work fine in the same location, although speeds are relatively low (around 30 Mbps).
NOVA offers unlimited data, but I cannot leave this SIM active permanently since it is my primary phone number. Please test it first.
Vodafone has limited data remaining (approximately 2 GB left until 30/05/2026), so please keep that in mind while testing, as the available time/data is limited.
I will keep the setup running as long as necessary, but I would appreciate it if the issue could be resolved as soon as possible.
Some additional information I forgot to include:
I registered on GoodCloud using the same email address I use on this forum, so it should be easy to identify my account.
Both 5G networks connect indoors using low-frequency bands only, typically around 700–900 MHz maximum. This is because I live on a hill outside the city, and my house has very thick stone walls.
When I have direct line-of-sight visibility toward the nearby city, the network switches to the higher-speed bands (roughly 1800–2600 MHz, if I recall correctly — possibly bands such as N1/N3/N78, although I am not entirely sure). Under those conditions, I can achieve very high 5G speeds, around 500–800 Mbps. So please do not be discouraged if you cannot find better-performing bands indoors.
If necessary, I can try relocating the Mudi 7 to a better position for signal reception. However, in that location I do not have Ethernet internet access, so the device would rely entirely on the 5G network (either NOVA or Vodafone) for remote connectivity.
I also have a COSMOTE 5G SIM with unlimited data, but I removed it from SIM1 because it is currently the only 5G network in Greece that works out-of-the-box with the Mudi 7 without any connectivity issues. In my experience, it is also the best cellular network in Greece.
Using the COSMOTE SIM, I could move the Mudi 7 to a location with much better signal quality. However, before doing that, I would first like to have the NOVA and Vodafone connections properly tested and resolved while using the current indoor Ethernet (Starlink) connection.
I hope everything above makes sense. If you need any additional information, please let me know.
If you need anything else, please let me know!
