We have a dire need of a more portable 5g device with small battery. Think compact size of Puli or Mudi. Small size, with 2 ethernet ports like Puli. Spitz AX and Puli AX are great devices, but not very portable.
Would be great if you can upgrade Puli, put smaller battery, 5g antenna and faster processor so we can easily use on the go, in laptop cases, carry-ons.
Shoutout to great device - plain old Puli powering my mobile office across 3 continents.
Features and my usage:
Low profile (perfect for crossover)
Low battery usage (very efficient)
2 Ethernet ports (1 for work laptop, 1 for work phone w/ RJ45 adapter)
Works when car is turned off (battery)
Feeding Ethernet to dell hub + usb c pass through to laptop with usb c extension cable
When laptop is not used, hide under car seat.
Noise cancellation microphone headphones via usb to dell hub dongle - can take calls with car running (for air conditioning in South America) it filters all background noise.
All WiFi/bluetooth off on work laptop and phone
Speeds w/ WireGuard 20 mbps up, 5 mbps down. Enough for video calls
During teams video calls, put towel on car seat and blur background
Can’t stress how amazing this device has been. 5 cars, 3 continents, 40 states. I can’t use puli ax or spitz ax as they are not discrete. Puli is perfect weight/size and battery optimization. I also have 2nd puli device that’s in my laptop sleeve.
Wishlist
5g support for puli or just more 4g lte bands and support
Automatic shutoff on inactivity - even when battery goes to zero, device starts within 2 mins of car starting, that’s how amazing Puli battery and power consumption truly is. For comparison, netgear m1 takes 10 mins.
