Hi. I want to buy Mudi V2 (GL-E750V2). But I have some concerns about it. On some forums wrote that it is overheating or have bad connection to cellular network.
Can you please share me your experience with this device?
I am most interested in:
Can you comfortably use it for 1080 videos?
AdGuard Home. Won’t it overload router?
VPN stability
Is it overheating?
How stable connection to your cellular data?
How long battery live after some usage?
Please note that I am talking EXACTLY about V2, NOT V1.
Hi, I can share my experience, but maybe not on all your points.
To me, the boot up is a long wait. From the moment I turn the GL-E750V2 on:
1 min 50 sec to boot up
3 min to connect to network with a SIM card
more than 3 min 30 sec to fully get internet access
Regarding battery usage, I consider it normal that it takes a fair amount when sharing network, but to my surprise, when I put it in standby mode, I notice the battery drain also.
For example, I left it on standby mode during one night, the evening it was at half and in the morning there was 3% battery left. What I expected from a standby mode was to save battery power the time I don't need connection, but even in standby mode, the cellular network is left on.
This is my use case:
I woke up in the morning, I go to work and turn on the GL-E750V2 device, so I can share the 4G/Wifi connection to my smartphone and laptop during the commute time. When I arrive at work, I put it on standby mode until I leave the office, so I put it on again to share connection on my way home. Then at home I turn it off.
But as I said, because of the battery drain, it's preferable I turn it ON only during commute and then OFF, to save on battery. So I need to anticipate and turn it on 3.5 minutes before I need connection on the go. That's a bit crazy to me, and hope it can be improved.
