Great review - of great user & setup info Jabber Tech! Gotta ask you though because my brain hurts; why'd you keep adding the "n" to the name (even the graphics text in your vid) - it's not Mudi, its MUDI (LOL)...
Of course, this box is NOT the same as a battery pack, the Slate and a good Hostpot. The built in modem is a so-so performer (sure it works well in cities, but try taking it in to the country side, its radio is weak!), no external antennas as on the Slate, battery is smallish, so yeah not exactly the same as the "sandwich" which can be expanded three ways. Convenient yes, but also a so-so performer especially on the cellular and WiFi range. Guess, size does matter in this case. ;)
Another youtuber shows you how to hack external antennae quite simply on this device. Looking at internal pictures it seems to be a mini pic card inside which has two antennae connectors. I think you can mod the case to put some holes in it and run two cables from those mini connectors to some external connectors. It obvious needs some modification and isn't out of the box but it seems possible.
do you know if you can bond multiple internet sources? for examples, can i combine slow crappy hotel ethernet + LTE sim card + phone hot spot tethering for a stronger internet signal?
@@TheJabberTech i cannot find any description about bands. They mostly telling about nice security vpn. I already visited in official product overview and not found any description about available bands.
@@gideonsunday61 I would also like to know this. If this is what every road warrior needs then I would hope that it works with simcards from other countries
I have tried every way to connect and nothing. My birddog NDI converter connected at once. Even through the GL webpage I cannot connect on my desktop, laptop, tablet or phone. You start your video already on the page. Let me see you do it.
"Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn" ... just lost it there for a moment! ha-ha-ha By the way, this box is NOT the same as a battery pack, the Slate and a good Hostpot.

it really does not matter, honestly. I have a Huawei version, very similar to this one, except for advanced features. Works perfectly with internal antennas. Lede is also an awesome addition to this mobile router, and GLI is doing the best lede/OpenWRT customization on earth.
I chuckled at "Hotel, Motel< Holiday Inn" Except when I was a bar tender it was "last call for alcohol,,,Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn... Dont care where you go, but you can't stay here"
@@bobeid1huawei version?? Wait so is there a connection between GL inet and Huawei?... Or do you mean it's similar in design only.. Not related internally or by company
@@macaroni.ravioli no connection whatsoever afaik. Just a similar concept and on a similar price range. Cheaper packages are made by tplink. Now, if you talk about performance, these are already somehow obsolete since most modern phones are 5G capable and you can share the connection.
Great video I have a problem with mine. I used it once and it worked well tried it again and now it always show no internet. I’m able to connect to T-Mobile everything looks good on connection but just show no internet. Can you help. Thx in advance!!
How do you access the terminal in the GL-inet Mundi??? I was watching to figure that out as I'm a noob. Any help with this will garner a decent portion of insta subs, just an FYI. It's a programmable router so that kind of info for newbies is a must for people who know what they have. Good video by the way. My only constructive criticism.
@@TheJabberTech I mean. I know firmware offers to setup a wg server. But my question is more focused to know if mobile network let's you connect to it's server or blocks ports. Thank you.
Unfortunately nothing about 4g or 5g band compatibility is a yes or no and depends where in Europe you are (I'm not a mind reader) You can check glinet website for all bands on this unit or email their tech support team. Good luck
It is a MUDI, not a MUNDI !
How's the ping and WiFi range? I bought a Puli and it was terrible. Range of about 1-2 meters with super high ping times.
I just got the Mundi and I'm trying to set it up but the IP address won't open on any of my devices..did anyone else have that issue?
Can I use a phone 4g SIM card in this from T-mobile?
How to connect with VPN ? IS VPN inbuilt ? Do we need license from vpn ? Like nord vpn or express vpn

LOL, for some reason 'mundi' was stuck in my head the entire time...I still call it mundi :/
no external antenna support that sucks if it had it I would buy it in a heartbeat.

So can I just take my sim out of my phone and use that? Or do I have to have a sim for a hotspot plan?
do you know if you can bond multiple internet sources? for examples, can i combine slow crappy hotel ethernet + LTE sim card + phone hot spot tethering for a stronger internet signal?
You cannot
@@TheJabberTech Can you connect with a LAN cable to a modem for internet then failover to repeater mode connected to an iphone hotspot?
Speedify
How is LTE speed test? And are all SIM cards supported? How about speed when used as repeater?
Lte Speed is great if you have a strong signal where you are. Nano sim cards are supported. Repeater speeds are awesome
@@TheJabberTech I mean does it support any sim from any country?
Check the website for supported bands ,I believe there are two versions with different bands
@@TheJabberTech i cannot find any description about bands. They mostly telling about nice security vpn. I already visited in official product overview and not found any description about available bands.
You should email glinet and ask
Do I need to set up a hotspot plan on a U.S. T-MOBILE SIM card in order to use in this router?
Yes, or a Data only sim
Can any sim work on it?
@@gideonsunday61 I would also like to know this. If this is what every road warrior needs then I would hope that it works with simcards from other countries
I am interested in this product but I live in Mexico. Any idea if this wwill work with international simcards? I am thinking Telcel or ATT mexico?
I would check the frequency list on their website to see compatibility
all you need is LOVE and Gl.iNet Mudi 4G LTE
no diggity!
@@TheJabberTech ;)
Could it receive SMS from the SIM card?
Yes
@@TheJabberTech oh that's pretty cool! Do you have any screenshots of what that looks like?
Nope

I just type 192.168.8.1 into my browser and get logged in, not a tough task lol. If you need troubleshooting,contact glinet for help . Good luck

How can I type in the SIM card's PIN number?
put in an phone and remove sim card pin
This is basically a Nord Vpn?
Can you hide your ssid?
can you change ttyl settings within the router?
Underneath is just an classic openwrt. You can setup ssh and change every setting you want.
Or check the ROOTer site for a custom flash with TTL setting in the menu.
@@BillAnt no, why complicating things. OpenWRT allows you to do that from the admin interface.
Do you HAVE to have a hotspot enabled SIM for this to work? I can't just take the sim card from my phone and stick it in?
My TMobile sim worked fine without hotspot plan but YMMV
@@TheJabberTechdoes this allow for at commands to the modem? Like using "magic"
This thing has band locking?
Great video I have a problem with mine. I used it once and it worked well tried it again and now it always show no internet. I’m able to connect to T-Mobile everything looks good on connection but just show no internet. Can you help. Thx in advance!!
Check the kill switch isn't on...if your VPN is active but not working ..all traffic stops when kill switch is enabled
@@TheJabberTech thx I’ll check that out
Hi on the gl net website I seen two types. What is the difference between EP06 and EG25? Tnx.
Probably bands... Euro and us but don't know
@@TheJabberTechI've checked it with the manufacturer. EC25-AF is CAT4 modem, EP06-A is CAT6 modem(with better UP/DL speed)

The purpose of this video wasn't to show you how to hack it lol. Go into settings then advanced and there you can access the LUCI terminal. Good luck
@@TheJabberTech I'll check out LUCI. Thanks for the reply.
Hey please how i change for 2.4 mhz ?

Is this locked to T-Mobile?
No
Can it be used with and can you buy a 12 volt cigarette plug adapter?
Why wouldn't you be able to?
Will AT&T sim work?
Check the bands
it support Wireguard?
watch video
En Français
Non, c'est en anglais pour le moment
Perfect review, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Can I setup a Wireguard server on it and access it from somewhere?
watch the video
@@TheJabberTech I mean. I know firmware offers to setup a wg server. But my question is more focused to know if mobile network let's you connect to it's server or blocks ports. Thank you.
Each network is different. When I tried it with tmobile it worked
@@TheJabberTech thank you folk, you rock.
Will it work in both Europe and North America?
Check the bands
@@TheJabberTech Where to check that or simply yes/no , thanks!
Unfortunately nothing about 4g or 5g band compatibility is a yes or no and depends where in Europe you are (I'm not a mind reader) You can check glinet website for all bands on this unit or email their tech support team. Good luck
@@TheJabberTech All over Europe from Romania to the UK and from New York to LA BUT heckers, thanks a bunch anyways!
wish I could help but a video from 3 years ago is no longer on my mind!
Thanks man. What an excellent review. 👏
Glad you liked it!
Should I buy it to try it?
Fantastic informational how to video 😃👍
You mentioned the WAN adaptor, but how about a LAN adapter which connects to the Laptop/PC?
