Spitz gl x2000

I have a flint 2 with 4.11.0 fw , was wondering when the gl x2000 will have the mesh fw update , it would make sense that a expensive travel / mobile router would have this facility , any idea when or if this will be implemented in the near furture

The GL-X2000 (Spitz Plus) is currently listed as unsupported for GL.iNet’s EasyMesh feature, and no release date for adding it has been announced. The current supported-model list is available in the Mesh documentation.

Firmware 4.10 or later alone does not enable Mesh on every model; model-specific support is also required. Therefore, the GL-X2000 cannot currently form an official GL.iNet Mesh network with the Flint 2.

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in EasyMesh support for the Spitz Plus (GL-X2000).

We are considering adding EasyMesh support to this model. However, development and testing may require considerable time, so meaningful progress is unlikely this year and may have to wait until early 2027.

Please note that the schedule is not yet confirmed and may change.

GL.iNet GL-X2000 (Spitz Plus) is a dual-SIM 4G LTE Wi-Fi 6 router. Specificatio…ns: SoC: Qualcomm IPQ5018, dual-core Cortex-A53 @ 1.0 GHz RAM: 512 MiB DDR3 Flash: 128 MiB SPI NAND (Winbond W25N01GWZEIG) WLAN: IPQ5018 2x2 2.4 GHz, QCN6122 2x2 5 GHz (802.11ax) Ethernet: 1x GbE WAN (IPQ5018 internal GE PHY) 1x GbE LAN (Atheros AR8031, SGMII) WWAN: Quectel EG120K-EA, LTE Cat.12, USB 3.0 SuperSpeed USB: 1x USB 2.0 host behind an internal hub Buttons: reset LEDs: power, internet, 2.4G, 5G, 4x signal strength Serial: 3v3 TTL, 115200 8N1; 4-pin header labelled GND/RX/TX/3V3 on the mainboard, under the Quectel module in the top right corner. The case opens after pulling the four rubber feet Power: DC 9-35 V, shipped with a 12 V 2.5 A supply Misc: PWM fan, dual SIM slots (muxed inside the modem) The base MAC address is stored at offset 0x6 of the 0:art partition; the first six bytes are erased, which is why U-Boot reports the ART address as invalid. WAN uses the base address (this is the one on the label), LAN base+1, the 2.4 GHz radio base+2 and the 5 GHz radio base+3. The ethernet addresses come from nvmem cells. The board deliberately has no ethernetN aliases: GL.iNet's U-Boot uses them to write its own mac-address properties into both GMAC nodes (a placeholder for WAN, the base address for LAN), which of_get_mac_address() would prefer over the nvmem cells. The modem enumerates at SuperSpeed and therefore requires the IPQ5018 USB3 UNIPHY, so both usbphy0 and usbphy1 are enabled. uqmi cannot communicate with this modem, so modemmanager has to be installed separately to use it. The QCN6122 is wired to the second radio instance, so wifi@b00b040 with userpd3 is enabled rather than wifi@b00a040: the stock device tree enables wifi2@/userpd3 and leaves wifi1@/userpd2 disabled. That instance places its BDF and M3 dump above the default q6 region, so the reserved region is grown accordingly. Board data for the two radios is submitted separately to firmware_qca-wireless. It is taken from the stock firmware's wifi_fw partition, which is a squashfs image: bdwlan.b24 for the IPQ5018 2.4 GHz radio and qcn6122/bdwlan.b60 for the QCN6122 5 GHz radio, matching the qcom,board_id values of 0x24 and 0x60 that the stock device tree assigns to the respective radios. The two radios require distinct board data; sharing a single BDF leaves the front-end misconfigured and the affected radio unable to transmit or receive at usable power. The device tree started from the initial port by Hostle, was largely rewritten by georgem83 and further reworked by Andreas Boeckler, published in the OpenWrt forum thread linked below. It is carried here with fixes for the WLAN board data, the QCN6122 radio instance, the U-Boot environment partition and the fan cooling map. Link: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/plain-openwrt-on-gl-x2000/231554 Installation: Interrupt the bootloader over serial (115200 8N1) by typing "gl", then TFTP the initramfs image and boot it: tftpboot 0x44000000 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-glinet_gl-x2000-initramfs-uImage.itb bootm 0x44000000 Then flash the factory image with sysupgrade.
