I can’t answer the question for myself: why do we need the MUDI -V7 when we have the MUDI-V2?
Surely the M2’s capabilities are enough to meet the user’s needs?
I don’t think there’s 5-6GHz in Africa or Latin America or many other countries,
and these frequencies are often linked to military or other tasks.
Well, OK, there’s eSIM, but I can just as easily use an eSIM adapter.
The MUDI-V7 isn’t half the size; it’s just as big as a power bank))
Yes, there’s a large screen, but in my view, if the MUDI-V1 and MUDI-V2 had a less cluttered interface in terms of code and didn’t glitch so often, there’d be no point in such a large screen..
I understand that you need to strive for modern technologies and implement them so that the company’s products remain in demand and it doesn’t fall behind, but to me it seems like the situation with VR headsets (Virtual reality headset), which everyone is now turning their backs on.
I can predict or suggest what the new MUDI-V10 model will be like: it will be a model without a touchscreen but with artificial intelligence, which will handle all settings via voice commands.
As I mentioned above, you can boost your speed by removing the very heavy and bloated software and installing OpenWRT 23.05—you’ll see a significant increase in speed.
Also, when you mention speed, I assume you’re referring to a situation where you don’t travel abroad to countries that don’t support those frequencies.
As for the choice, I agree—if you’re willing to splurge and buy a router for $420–470, that’s certainly your choice.
But I don’t think a high school student, college student, or average person from Hong Kong could afford such a mobile router.
The MUDI-V2 is currently available in various countries for $120 to $150, which is a reasonable price for a mobile router.
Do you happen to have blue eyes and fair skin? I hope you know what I mean?)) Since you’re writing about some kind of global game?
Maybe you mean that you have an advantage over those who can’t afford a router that costs $420–$470 Please check the link and price again Mudi 7 (GL-E5800) | 5G NR Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 Travel Router — GL.iNet
I think we should prioritize schoolchildren, students, and the elderly so they can buy modern devices for communication (my personal opinion)
Nah, it will be "Hellow Bosse" and of course the device will be made of pure alumulemu
I don't see your point, tbh. If you find another router that provides Wifi 7 (including 6 GHz) + Battery + 5G - go for it.
Just for comparison: WiFi access points with those standards and made by manufacturers without ISP contracts (so you are not forced to use them) are mostly >$300. A WiFi 7 AP made by LANCOM, for example, is >$600. Without battery. Without 5G.
Please provide me with a list of countries—not regions—that support 5G and 6G. How many are there worldwide? I need accurate information, as in many countries these frequencies are also used for military purposes.
Also, keep in mind that there are countries where protocols such as WireGuard, OpenVPN, VLESS, and VMESS are blocked.
100...
Why would a user need 5G or 6G if they can use 4G? For what purposes would an average person need 5G or 6G?
To watch YouTube videos? Or can’t you make calls over the internet with 4G? Or can’t you surf the internet with 4G?
I made an argument from an economic standpoint. Right now, the MUDI-V7 costs as much as three MUDI-V2s—that’s a fact! If a user removes your heavy, bloated shell (no offense, but it’s a fact) and installs a clean OpenWRT, it will already run significantly faster.
If you had listened to the opinions of users here on the forum starting with the MUDI-V1 and made the MUDI-V3 with a removable battery, for example with an updated processor, refined the software, to make the code minimalistic, and included a removable modem at a reasonable price, then this version would be a more logical continuation of what you started, both in terms of price and technical specifications.
@Lastimosa@beepboopbeep It has nothing to do with supporting carriers. It has everything to do with supporting the bands to allow you to travel freely in another country on the other side of the world. Even the EU device is missing major bands in areas such as SEA. While it will only work "okay" in some other areas as well that aren't EU. Compared to the M7 its not even close in terms of who allows you to travel freely. Netgear beats the pants off the Mudi7 in regards to this.
This was fully in the decision making wheel house of GLINet and they fumbled it. If they went with a chipset modem that they knowingly knew didn't support global, then advertised global with imagery and alluding marketing, its all on them.
I don't need a brick that is going to have me doing a band comparison every time I want to travel to a new country.
I’m sorry, but I don’t want to carry a large router, a power brick, and a 5G dongle while travelling if I can avoid it. If that setup works for you, that’s great — but nobody is being forced to buy this product.
Using a Wi-Fi router for 10 years is like a security nightmare, at least for me.
It's understandable that some people don't want to spend money on IT every 3-5 years, but saying that a device that is such a base for the whole network can be used for >10 years does not sound correct. At least not for consumer tech.
And the battery will never survive 10 years.
But as all other people already mentioned: You can buy (or not) whatever fits your needs and budget.
