The GL.iNet GL X3000 Spitz AX stands out as a fast, stable cellular gateway for home, RV, and road trip use, especially when paired with an external antenna. It is praised for an easy web interface, frequent updates, and useful controls like auto update, revert, APN, TTL, VPN, and IMEI changes. Real world results include solid 5G connections and speeds over 300 Mbps, with one setup jumping from roughly 130 Mbps to more than 450 Mbps on T Mobile. The main drawbacks are the $322.99 price and concerns about model and band differences, especially for travel outside the United States.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. It has been reported as solid, super stable, and fast, with over 300 Mbps on 5G in suburban use and much higher speeds than older cellular devices. External antennas can make a big difference in rural LTE, but even the stock antennas can deliver strong results.
It can reportedly be flashed to standard OpenWrt, but the GL.iNet firmware is already OpenWrt-based and includes an easy UI, frequent updates, and simple auto-update or revert controls. One concern raised is that any proprietary modifications would need to be released under the OpenWrt license.
It is often favored for its lower cost, simpler model selection, and easier software, while Netgear is described as expensive and confusing to shop for. Inseego's MiFi Pro line is seen as a solid portable backup, but the GL-X3000 is described as the stronger all-around cellular router.
Yes, by setting the SIM APN to fast.t-mobile.com and TTL to 64 in the web UI. That workaround can let a voice SIM work for data instead of hotspot-only usage.
Yes. The modem settings include an AT command that can change the IMEI, which can help with carrier or SIM compatibility. The device is also described as using a Qualcomm X62 modem.

I have the XE3000 (I believe the only difference is the battery), and it's been great. I get a solid connection and much faster speeds than any other cellular devices I've had.
I do have an Inseego Mifi Pro here for backup and $330 is still a lot of cash for sitting around but if this was ever hitting $250 I might grab one. But comcast is pretty stable.
For anyone relying on cell connection Internet, this is the best or one of the best and the netgear unlocked is insanely expensive and they have so many confusing models with different bands settings you have to be super careful to get the right one, and again they are $$$.

I was actually looking at the Netgear routers initially and had a hard time trying to justify the cost over this one and it's features. I'm glad I went this route.
I'm usually within range of a 5G network and it feels like I'm on my home network most of the time.
Which antenna are you using?

I'm also in the suburbs of my city. I've had verizon and tmobile. Here are my non-scientific speedtests using both fast.com and speedtest.net over the past 10 months:

I tested all at home here in U.S. but we took the Mini overseas "just in case" and were glad we did. It turned barely useable into workable the first year and last summer speeds improved and it was great. This year 5G may be available, so we'll see.

I'll likely try it out one of these days.
